While this book is just as fun and engaging as the rest of the series, the final conflict/resolution annoys the bejeebers out of me and makes it my least favorite of the quartet. I just get very aggravated that the whole thing is blamed on poor Jack who has had a horrific day at work and has a throbbing headache and comes home to have Emma immediately get hurt feelings about something she's never discussed and then she just goes off on him and ⬇️

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) storms out and then refuses to let Jack talk to her for days because she has to “sort through his betrayal“ blah blah blah. It's stupid and annoying and makes me so annoyed that I actually tend to skip the last 40 pages or so of this book every time I read it 😂 It's ironic because the rest of the book is just as fun and humorous as the rest of the series, with such likable and engaging characters. I actually think Jack and Emma are ⬇ 2y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) great together, but that whole scenario where somehow it's all Jack's fault for not magically reading Emma's mind (pro tip: if your SO asks you how you feel about your relationship and you keep reassuring them that it's fine when it's not actually fine, it's not really your SO's fault if you're unhappy!) really gets on my nerves. Still a pick, but not as hearty of one as the rest of the series. 2y

keys_on_fire This is one of my favorite series! I agree with you about Emma and Jack though. I think this book was the weakest of the four… 2y

TheAromaofBooks @keys_on_fire - This is definitely my least favorite of the series, but that isn't knocking it much since I absolutely ADORE these books 😂 2y

Of the four books in the Brides Quartet, this is my least favorite. However, I still really like it and would recommend it to anyone who wants a likeable romance with a set of strong female characters that support each other. This series is the first I had ever read of Nora Roberts, and I have reread it several times.

This was a cute chick flick style romance. I think what threw me is that I didn‘t connect to the main character enough. She has ideas of romance that are very traditionally romantic, almost story book. It was a bit much for me at times, and made it feel less realistic. But that‘s just because I have different ideas of the type of romance I want in my relationships.
I am interested in reading the next two to learn about the other friends.

The second in this quartet is probably my least favorite of the series. Jack's issues feel very similar to the ones from the first book, and Jack and Emma's relationship seems more physical-oriented. Still, it's a fun and happy read. I love the way this series weaves together.

The second book in the Brides Quartet, this was a sweet romance, but I think the first book in the series was better. I enjoyed watching Jack and Emma‘s relationship bloom and was happy for their chance at a happily ever after. I love following the friendship shared between Parker, Emma, Mackensie and Laurel and who doesn‘t love wedding themed romances!

I was planning to read a few of my favorite childhood books for the #throwbackreadathon today. But, we've done a wedding section in the upcoming issue of the magazine I work at and spending all this time on wedding pages has me reminiscing about my own. So I decided to reread Nora Roberts' bride quartet instead because I first read it when planning my own wedding 7 years ago. Starting book 2 and here's a picture from my wedding 👰❤️

Winsome romance with a sweetheart heroine and steamy sex. FTW. Thanks for the rec, @Zelma

I loved this quote--she's right that the "unconscious slight's worse," because it always feels MORE true.

Zelma Glad you liked it. I was pleasantly surprised after not liking the first book. This was quite fun and it helped that Emma was so likeable. I am super interested in Laurel's story. Less so in Parker's but it will be nice to see everything wrapped up in a bow. 7y
Sassy_Steph All four books in this series were great!! 7y
AliBG @Zelma I feel exactly the same way. Though the seeds for both romances are already there, which is interesting. 7y

I was underwhelmed with the first book of this series, but liked the wedding business and the friendship that the series is built around. Thankfully I stuck with it, because this book was really enjoyable! The things I disliked about Vision in White are no longer present; I liked this heroine much more, the reasons keeping Emma and love interest apart are legitimate, the sex scenes were hot, and the romance was really sweet and dreamy.

Zelma @AliBG this was much, much better than Vision in White. I am not swearing off Nora Roberts now. 😁👍am curious to see Laurel's story though not as interested in Parker's. Emma was ten times more likable than Mac. 7y
LauraBrook I'll get to this series eventually. I already own (unread) the Boonsboro, Stars of Fortune, and Dark Witch trilogies, and a couple of her standalones too. Made a deal w myself not to buy any more of her series until I read at least one I already have! (My resolve may not last. 😊) 7y
Zelma @LauraBrook 😆 yup, that is a reasonable plan. This one isn't a series I'd say to run out read immediately. I had never read Nora Roberts so I gave this one a whirl and did a readalong with @AliBG which was fun. Glad I tried it and it fits my mood of needing kind of mindless, positive, fun reading. Not in the mood for anything dark, deep or challenging! 7y

The story was a bit better, maybe because the background had already been developed from book 1. But obviously everything can't be amazing from cover to cover, and the happy couple goes from perfect relationship, to overly dramatic breakup to engaged all in the last 20 pages 🙄🙄🙄. And of course I haven't learned my lesson and will surely continue on to book 3 😂

Not as annoying as I remember! The first time I read it I thought the heroine was irritating and wimpy, but she's not; she's just fine

This series is different from the other Nora Roberts Series I have read. This is what I need though fluff and romance. On to book three.

Lauren_reading This was a definite feel good series! 8y
