Once again, NR proves how good she is when it comes to write friendship. Unfortunately, that got in the way of the romance and I didn't connect with Del and Laurel's love story. Del was a nice guy, but too smooth and perfect to raise my temperature. Laurel was a bit harsher than him, but her bouts of temper felt forced to me because they were irrational and came out of nowhere. Okay, that is known to happen in Romancelandia, but that behavior is usually associated with a character who...more

I really, truly understand that it's not my place to insult one of the -if not the- most successful contemporary Romance authors. She's the author whose books the heroines read in other novels, so I get that I'm the exception here and that this book was probably pretty great, and it's me who, for some reason, just can't appreciate it.

She's the author whose books the heroines read in other novels, so I get that I'm the exception here and that this book was probably pretty great, and it's me who, for some reason, just can't appreciate it. But I'm gonna go ahead and insult it anyway because the people deserve to hear all opinions, or so I'm told.

I have never been so bored and/or annoyed with a romance before. I couldn't finish it, and I almost always finish books if only because I don't feel it's fair to judge a book before reading it all. But my sanity and general good humour were more important, so I did not finish it.

I can even tell you why: it tried too hard. It tried too hard to make the characters witty and other-worldly, it blabbed too much about the details of the job, but mainly this: it focused on all the things I personally don't care about in a character's daily routine or in a romance. I like reading every last detail of conversations/lovemaking/transition from friends to lovers, etc. I do NOT like reading about the "funny" codes between Laurel and her friends, and all the clients' wedding dramas and on which day they happen, and everybody else, while the romance and actual human conversation takes the back seat, and I'm simply told what happened.

Del had no dimensions, I never fully got who he was or why Laurel was so in love with him. And frankly, the author seemed too busy stressing how much Laurel works out every day (and hey, let's all read about every last muscle she uses!) and how she throws her ice cream away because she's just that delicate (massive eyeroll) instead of trying to make the reader relate to her or understand her better.

Also, the snippy, smartass dialogue thing was rather funny the first three or four hundred times, until it all became so blatantly desperate to make the reader laugh. I wanted the characters to have an actual conversation instead of showcasing their wit. Dude, I get it. You're funny. You're funny and beautiful and I now know exactly what your workout routine consists of, and I want to be you. Now, is there something I might enjoy about this book? Say, a deep conversation maybe?

This may seem bigoted and horrible, and please don't judge me or think that I'm slighting Laurel's profession or anything, but because of my eternal distaste for people's (and society's in general) whole focus on The Wedding instead of the marriage, I just could not bring myself to enjoy reading every infernal detail about the work of a heroine whose professional ambition is to create the perfect wedding cake. Why would I want to read every last ingredient of Laurel's Perfect Cake instead of, I don't know, her conversations with Del?

So, bottom line: I did not like this book. This book made me cranky and my eyeballs hurt from all the rolling. Also, I am now disillusioned with the author, whom I had been wanting to read for a while now, but now realize is really not my type. At all.

(I have now finished this book (I have no self control), an I feel the last third was better than the first two. All the stuff that annoyed me still stand for me, but I actually enjoyed the last third, so there's that.)(less)

And this time, though it still revolved around the friendship between Mac, Emma, Laurel and Parker, the story was mostly about the romance between life-long friends. Yes, you’d think it was pretty much the same as in Bed of Roses, between Emma and Jack, but the thing is, Laurel and Del, Parker’s older brother have known (and been friends) each other for her entire life. So the switch held much more danger and possible obstacles. For them both, but mostly inside their little “tribe”.
So the same fears and worries as with Emma and Jack were there, but much more augmented, because of that long(er) friendship.

But it was beautifully done, if you ask me, much better than in Bed of Roses, especially since the hero (Del) had no obvious and well-known commitment issues Jack had. He was much more laid back and relaxed when it came to his “thing” with Laurel and he had no compunction in stating his love for her, since everybody knew he loved her. Pity, that, since the words held no “special meaning” being said so many times before, no wonder she was skeptical and a little skittish.
And that is the biggest problem I had with Laurel. It didn’t overly bother me, since I understood her reservations, but still, sometimes she came off as a bit too impulsive in her judgment. And too stubborn to listen...or talk about what bothered her. But, her love for Del was there, and I forgave her. ;)

Now, onto the less-friendship-more-romance thingy. Well, it’s true. Sure, the girls were still tight as ever, they talked, they laughed, they cried, they ribbed each other, but there was that much appreciated lack of “friendly intervention” at the end, that was present in both previous novels, and an especial “burden” in Bed of Roses. First, it was because Laurel was more reserved by nature, preferring to solve her problems on her own and second, there was no big rift between her and Del to demand an intervention in the first place. Sure, she made a mess with her stubbornness and refusal to listen, but it was quickly resolved.
And who resolved it? Del, of course. Who’s become my favorite hero in this series a few pages into this story. Who wouldn’t want a guy like Del? Who wouldn’t love a guy like Del? He was (over)protective, self-assured, caring, loving, tender, funny, sexy (my mouth watered reading the pond scene), and romantic (the awwwwww-factor in the ending was all him).
I love my girls (the Quartet) and I love Carter and Jack, but Del is by far my favorite.

I’m sure he’ll fall into second place today, as I start reading Happy Ever After, because there’s just something about Malcolm Kavanaugh that “inspires” me. I cannot wait to read about him and Parker. If the sparkage these two produced in Savor the Moment is any indication, the fireworks will go through the roof when it’s their turn. Can’t wait! *happy squeal*

Well, this series is shaping to be my favorite (short) series I’ve read in my life. Romantic, funny, sexy, sensual, light-weight, emotion-engaging...A truly awesome read.(less)

Laurel's cakes may have been beautiful, but they just didn't sound delicious. Some writers have that ability to make you drool over the printed word. Oh, I'm sure the wedding cakes were delicious, but Nora Roberts' talent is not in describing food. Too bad. I would have loved a romance novel that also described cake.

Cake!

Just the word makes me happy. Birthday cake! Wedding cake! Happy day cake! Cakes are celebratory but Laurel seemed like a cranky bitch. (Maybe it was from her celibacy vow?)

This third installment of The Bride Quartet doesn't disappoint in any way. Del and Laurel verbally spar with each other and the dialogue snaps as you'll laugh at their witty comebacks at one another.
While Mac and Carter continue to be my favorite couple of this series, this comes a very close second.

*sigh*. I really wanted to love this one, but I didn't. I did like Del and Lauren, but I didn't like the 'conflict'. It was weak, since she'd known him her whole life. It felt like the author had to come up with something to make them 'have it out' before they got an HEA. I am so looking forward to Parker and Mal's book. We get to visit them a bit and this one, and I kept wishing for this to be their book. Ah well, we can't love em all.

This was the best yet in this quartet. I especially enjoyed the hero's realizations on how his feelings were changing. I think anyone who wants to read the fourth book in the series would benefit from reading this one beforehand, I can see the first hints of the next book beginning in the early chapters of this book. I love the series because it celebrates the friendships of the women as much as the romances they have.

I'd say she's not disappointing her core audience -- this is an extremely well-structured novel, the characters delineated and interesting, their lives filled with an ample amount of glamor and hard times. There's a romance that finally springs up between a couple who have known each other since childhood. The woman always adored the older brother of her best friend; the man accepted her as another little sister and did not let himself think much about any attraction to her. But once an argument flares into an unexpected kiss, suddenly they both have to re-assess their relationship, and their future.

This book was a little too cute for me -- the four female protagonists are high-end wedding planners, creating the perfect weddings for the daughters of Old Money and New Ventures -- but Roberts has researched details of professions down to small things. Savor the Moment is one of four books called The Bride Quartet. Laurel is the lead of this book, the pastry chef who creates the perfect cakes, pastries and candies for the engagement parties, weddings and other Special Moments the group shepherd from engagement pictures through the post-wedding dinners and dances. I'm not a pro, but I've done enough specialty baking that I did not catch any glaring baking errors in one pass-through. Laurel is a hard-working upper middle class girl whose college hopes were dashed by her father's fast and loose business practices (the IRS had a few questions....) Only the generosity of an older friend got her into chef school. That path has led her back to running Vows, the wedding planners company created by the four women. The girls were and are best friends, having formed a new family together, between the neglect of some parents and the early deaths of others.

The Bride Quartet is about their finding their own storybook romances, although each woman is different, and the man who is perfect for her is very different -- often even from what she's always looked for in the past. There's not a lot of clash in this one, although the problems seem quite real, having observed the fringes of this lifestyle myself. The man she's always loved is a little too sure of himself for my tastes, but Lauren doesn't change her mind about him.

If you like this sort of book, I bet you'll like this one. I'd definitely read another book by Roberts after this, and if I was in the mood for a romance, and the other Brides books were around, I'd pick them up. I just won't run out to look for them tomorrow.

Entertaining and well-written, but not compelling. I liked most of the people, and that's important to me.(less)

2.5* This book is difficult to rate because I both liked it and didn't. It was an okay story overall, and I liked the characters, although I did get tired of Laurel at times. Mostly, though, I got stuck on the "snappy dialog" that made everyone sound like characters out of a TV sit com or Rom Com movie. Not only did everyone in the book respond with one or two word phrases, but everyone sounded identical. Even the older Mrs. Grady spoke mainly in predicates. Some of the dialog was funny and clev...more

The writing is still distancing for me, I never get giddy or shaky-happy or react enough to need to put the book aside for a moment and breathe, and I like having that in my romance, but this was really pleasant? I enjoyed reading this. When I called Roberts oldish after the first book I meant it, and I still think I'm right, but that also means maturity, I think, and that translates to really solid friendships and relationships, and really sturdy, good people, which I liked so much. No weird conflicts or jumping to bad conclusions, no real irrationality - always points in a book's favour when it does that for me. And maybe it's because Del is such a big part of this group already, or maybe it's because Carter and Jack have been drafted in at this point, but this book felt like a group of friends who are family, who adore each other and respect each other and love time with each other, which I also liked so much.

I also liked - how Parker dealt with her brother and one of her best friends considering a relationship (which is to say, she didn't do anything, just thought it through; how fucking nice, not having that meddlesome-ness); how Laurel and Del considered each other without going to the "what if we try something at it doesn't work out" line of thinking or worrying (because they're adults who love their group - tribe - and they'd be able to deal with it!); how the group of friends - this tribe - feels really cosy and comfortable and nice without feeling forced (because books or TV shows with big groups of people who gradually become everything to each other tend to feel heavy-handed or forced or false to me often). The main group of four love each other a lot without being cloying or over-the-top. I like that the friendships and relationships here get love across not with big gestures but with little knowing things, background things; knowing how to deal with a particular fight, knowing little things about one another from years of experience. It feels comfortably comfortable. Del and Laurel in particular focused a lot on knowing each other for years and loving each other now, which is so nice because books with this particular trope don't do that enough. The shift isn't usually documented enough. This was good.

Considering how much there is here to like it's weird that I'm not emotionally into it, but I enjoyed it, and sometimes that's what you need from a book. Glad I skipped Emma's book for this.(less)

I have had issues with the previous two books in the series, for various reasons, but they are largely missing her and I found that I enjoyed this instalment.

To begin with, I find Laurel much more enjoyable as a central character than Mac or Emma. This is probably because I relate to her a little bit more. Sure, she's irritable and moody at times, but she's also quietly independent. I also enjoyed the relationship between Laurel and Parker, two best friends within the quartet of friends.

The romance of the novel was predictable. Even without reading a preview of this novel in the last book, it was fairly obvious that Delaney Brown, brother of Parker, was destined for Laurel. Their story wasn't all that different to Emma and Jack's from Bed of Roses. Where Jack had commitment issues that threatened to keep that couple apart, Laurel and Del's problem was money. Having said that, it didn't really present a huge problem, and it was only a spiteful comment from Mac's mother that really got Laurel to wondering if she could ever be happy with Del, due to his status as 'old money'.

(view spoiler)

Again, I find myself eager to read the next, and final, book in the series, having read the preview at the end of this book. Unless Roberts decides to take a serious change in direction, Parker's beau is going to be Malcolm Kavanaugh, another friend of her brother. It will be a nice change of pace from the last couple of books, to see our heroine looking for love with a man she doesn't know, rather than an old friend. (less)

Este es el 3er libro de la serie Cuatro Bodas.No había leído los anteriores pero no creo que me hiciera mucha falta o al menos eso pensé.La cuestión es que el libro me ha dado una flojera literaria,para nada fue como imagine.Pensando y leyendo las maravillas que se hablan de las obras literarias de Nora Robert,este libro me ha dejado un mal sabor.En serio,no se ni como lo seguí leyendo.

Como bien dice la sinopsis,son cuatro amigas y ya en los dos libros anteriores,Mackensie y Emmaline han conseguido a su pareja idea y eso que todas se dedican a llevar un negocio de toda la organizacion de una boda.En este tercera entrega ,Robert nos trae la historia de Laurel,la chef pastelera que ha estado siempre enamorada del hermano de su mejor amiga Parker,Delaney un abogado de muchos recursos económicos.

Ella no es del mismo novel social de el y se siente un poco mal por esa situación.Y siempre en casi toda la historia o lo poco que sigue la historia porque de lo menos que habla el libro es de ellos dos,ella siempre esta pensando que es menos que DEl por su situacion financiera.Aunque tanto Delaney como su hermana Parker no reparan para nada en eso.Si algo tiene de sorprendente la obra es el hecho de como ella es la que se acerca a Delaney por un loco impulso y como de ahí,Del se da cuenta que quiere seguir saliendo con ella para ver como les va.Lo mas curioso es que para que Laurel lo busque,Del le "secuestra" sus zapatos nuevos.Ahí todo va bien en la historia.Pero me parece que el fallo de la misma es en que mezcla demaciado los personajes secundarios y deja en un lugar aparte los principales.No encuentro que la historia favoreciera la relación de Laurel y Del.Me parece que quienes hayan leído los anteriores libros de esta serie: Álbum de Bodas y Rosas sin espinas,leyeron este para ver como les siguió la vida de las amigas y no por la historia amorosa de Laurel y Del ya que la de ellos es una historia sin gracia y muy floja.Creo que la autora pudo haber trabajado mas los personajes principales y olvidarse de los secundarios que de todas maneras ya tuvieron su momento en sus libros.Pero creo que recargo mucho la historia en detallar que todos son tan amigos y que están en las buenas y en las malas que olvido la historia de amor.Además se aseguro de dejar las puertas abiertas para lo que es el 4to y ultimo libro de la serie,que es la historia de Parker la hermana de Del y de su amigo Malcom que serán los protagonistas y ya se nota que es una historia similar lo único que en vez de cenicienta sera ceniciento,ya que Parker es la del dinero y Malcom es el mecánico de su hermano.

No se cada quien sus gustos,pero este no ha sido mi libro preferido y el sabor que me ha dejado es de sueño.Además se que el negocio de las chicas es de organizar bodas,pero pienso que si las serie es de Cuatro Bodas porque la autora incluyo tanto el trabajo con las bodas de las chicas.A cada 4 paginas sale una boda.De esta no creo que quiera ver otra boda en un buen rato por mas románticas que estas sean.(less)

I find The Bride Quartet series absolutely adorable.Period. It's pure unadulterated girlie romance series with friendship being the rock solid foundation of the plot. The more I try to find faults in it , the more I start realizing that even with it's imperfections and fairy taleish finish, this series is some thing I 'll always love...more

The third book in the series, and overall the book was good, but still the first one is my favorite. Each book in the series follows a new relationship rooted in friendship and somewhere close to the end, a problem and argument happens. In this situation it revolves around money. Laurel and Dell's relationship was definitely foreshadowed in Book 2 on what was going to happening in Book 3. I was curious to see how the relationship was going to develop and prosper because Dell has always been like...more

Inhalt:

Ihr ganzes Leben lang liebt Laurel Delaney Brown schon. Als es plötzlich ernst zwischen den beiden wird, fragt sie sich, ob auch von Dels Seite mehr vorhanden ist oder er nur auf eine Liebelei spekuliert…

Schreib-/Erzählstil:

Nora Roberts nimmt sich mit ihrem sehr, sehr seichten und schwammig schnulzigen Stil den Wind aus den Segeln. Sie setzt nur noch auf eine einfache Story, ohne dass der Leser großartig neue Wendungen oder Szenen erfährt.

Meine Meinung:

Zwar ist das Buch leicht und angeneh...more

When you've had a really long, hard day at work, and you feel wrung out and limp, what's better than a sparkling bottle of champagne and a long, relaxing soak in a bathtub? Now, I currently live India, so while the champagne is sometimes a possibility, the bath is unfortunately only something to dream about. But before I get lost in my metaphor, what I meant to say is, Savor the Moment, for me, was the mental equivalent of the glass of champagne and the relaxing bath. I had just finished Mocking ...more

It's official! I LOVE this series! Ok, now where do I begin?! Delaney Brown is Parker's older brother and feels that he has to take care of not only her but her three business partners as well. Because as he put's it they are a "tribe." But Laurel has had a SUPER HUGE crush on Del (as he is refered to as a lot in the book) and in one of her "moods" Laurel lays a big old steamy kiss on Del. Which leads to the "shoe napping" of a pair of Prada heels...Which leads to Del and Laurel becoming a coupl...more

Jul 25, 2010 Aviva rated it 5 of 5 stars · review of another edition

The third book in a series focused on four women who have been friends since early childhood, when they played endless games of weddings. Now they're adults with a wedding business. One's the photographer, another the florist, this book focused on the baker/pastry chef, and the fourth book will be about the wedding planner.

I think the best part of these books is that they really build on each other. I feel like I'd want to hang out with these women if they were real, and three books into the qu...more

Eleanor Marie Robertson was born on October 10, 1950 in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA. She was the youngest of the five children, also the only girl, of a marriage with Irish ancestors. Her family were avid readers, so books were always important in her life. She attended a Catholic school and credits the nuns with instilling in her a sense of discipline. During her sophomore year in high school, she transferred to a local public school, where she met Ronald Aufdem-Brinke, her future first husband.

In Augusy 17, 1968, as soon as she had graduated from High School, Eleanor married, against her parents' wishes. The marriage settled in Keedysville, Maryland. Her husband worked at his father's sheet-metal business before joining her parents in their lighting company. While, she worked briefly as a legal secretary. "I could type fast but couldn't spell, I was the worst legal secretary ever," she says now. After their sons, Dan and Jason, were born she stayed home. Calling this her "Earth Mother" years, she spent much of her time doing crafts, including ceramics and sewing her children's clothes. The marriage ended separating, and they obtained the divorce in January 1985.

In February 1979, a blizzard in forced her hand to try another creative outlet. She was snowed in with a three and six year old with no kindergarten respite in sight and a dwindling supply of chocolate. During the now famous blizzard, she pulled out a pencil and notebook and began to write down one of those stories. It was there that a career was born. Several manuscripts and rejections later, her first book, Irish Thoroughbred, was published by Silhouette in 1981 as Nora Roberts, a shortened form of her birth name Eleanor Marie Robertson, because she assumed that all authors had pen names.

Eleanor wrote under the pseudonym Jill March a story for a magazine titled "Melodies of Love".

Eleanor met her second husband, Bruce Wilder, when she hired him to build bookshelves. They were married in July 1985. Her husband owns and operates a bookstore in Boonsboro, Maryland called "Turn the Page Books". Since that time, they've expanded their home, traveled the world.

In 1992, she decided adopted other pseudonym so to publish a futuristic-suspense novels, she first decided to use the pseudonym D.J. MacGregor, but she discovered that this pseudonym was used by another author. In 1995, her first "In Death" serial novel was published under the pseudonym J.D. Robb, the initials "J.D." were taken from her sons, Jason and Dan, while "Robb" is a shortened form of Roberts.

Eleanor has also been known as Sara Hardesty, because when the "Born In" series was released in U.K. it carried that name instead of Nora Roberts. She has since changed publishers.

Eleanor has been plagiarized by another best-selling romance writer, Janet Dailey. The practice came to light after a reader read Nora Roberts' "Sweet Revenge" and Janet Dailey's "Notorious" back-to-back; she noticed several similarities and posted the comparable passages on the Internet. Calling the plagiarism "mind rape," Eleanor sued Janet Daily. In 1997, Janet, admitted to repeatedly plagiarizing from Nora Roberts' work, and that both "Aspen Gold" and "Notorious" lifted heavily from Nora Roberts's work. Both of those novels were pulled from print after Janet's admission. She acknowledged the plagiarism and blamed it on a psychological disorder. In a settlement, Janet paid Eleanor an undisclosed sum, which Eleanor donated to the Literacy Volunteers of America.

A founding member of the Romance Writers of America (R.W.A.), she was the first inductee in the organization's Hall of Fame. She also is a member of several writers groups and has won countless awards from her colleagues and the (less)

Quotes from Savor the Moment

“The polite thing would be to go back inside, give you privacy when you read it. But, I’m just not that mature.'
'It’s nothing. Fine.' Feeling foolish, Laurel opened the envelope.

You might think this is over, but you’d be wrong. I’ve taken your shoes hostage. Contact me within forty-eight hours, or the Pradas get it.” — 57 people liked it

“He gave her a quick, casual kiss on the cheek first. Then came the hug, and it was the hug that always made Laurel’s heart mush. Serious grip, cheek to the hair, eyes closed, just a little sway. Del’s hugs mattered, she thought, and made him impossible to resist.” — 43 people liked it
