  <default_description>'#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts cordially invites you to meet childhood friends Parker, Emma, Laurel, and Mac - the founders of Vows, one of Connecticut's premier wedding planning companies.

After years of throwing make-believe weddings in the backyard, flowers, photography, desserts, and details are what these women do best: a guaranteed perfect, beautiful day full of memories to last the rest of your life.

With bridal magazine covers to her credit, Mackensie &quot;Mac&quot; Elliot is most at home behind the camera - ready to capture the happy moments she never experienced while growing up. Her father replaced his first family with a second, and now her mother, moving on to yet another man, beg Mac for attention and money. Mac's foundation is jostled again moments before an important wedding planning meeting when she bumps into the bride-to-be's brother...an encounter that has them both seeing stars.

Carter Maquire is definitely not her type: he's stable, and he's safe. He's even an English teacher at their high school alma mater. There's something about him that makes Mac think a casual fling is just what she needs to take her mind off dealing with bridezillas and screening her mother's phone calls. But a casual fling can turn into something more when you least expect it. And with the help of her three best friends - and business partners - Mac must learn how to make her own happy memories...</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I need a half star for this book as it falls somewhere between 3 and 4 stars for me.  I did enjoy it and spent most of my Sunday reading.  I read a few of the other reviews of this book and I have to say that I felt several of them were unfairly harsh on the protagonist, Mac.  She is the focus of th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62164164">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A good, fun book, and an enjoyable, easy read. The main problem I had with the story was the lack of conflict. Conflict is what drives the story and pulls us in as readers. For Mac, the heroine, her main struggle is her mother - a self-centered, spoiled woman - and being unable to stand up to her an...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77986897">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Nora Roberts just plain writes a good book. This one is straight romance, but as in many of her books you learn a lot about the things that make up the lives of the women, and sometimes the men as well, that are the focus of the book.<br/><br/>I enjoyed learning about the wedding planning business...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70737419">more...</a>]]></body>

Though the book was at times cliche, it was also a sweet story that was developed around interesting characters.  Ms. Roberts does a nice job of telling an sweet love story while also adding in interesting details...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58253579">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really wasn't sure about this book. First off, it was not Roberts' usual trilogy but a quartet so I didn't know if it could be one of her serial romances which I don't care for. Then, so many reviews talked about how they hated it.

    <body><![CDATA[Nora Roberts is seriously one of the most talented authors in the world.  I don't even know what to say except that I sat down and read this book and couldn't stop.<br/><br/>NR makes all of her characters so alive, almost to where you think they CAN be actual human beings.
