All her life, Eve Waskowitz had imagined what her wedding day would be like, but jumping into a Dumpster, with train in hand and veil askew, to escape her prospective groom was NOT it. If she lived, there would be time enough to ponder her questionable taste in husbands -- now the question was, where could she go? Who would help her?
Enter FBI agent Jake Redfield, whose surveillance vehicle just happened to be within Eve's reach -- and unlocked. He'd been after Eve's former groom-to-be for years -- but one look at the disheveled, hysterical and utterly irresistible bride had Jake shifting his target somewhat. Was it too much to hope that he could get his man -- AND his woman?
This book was just okay, I kind of had a problem with the heroine Eve and her thoughts and everything, it was just like I couldn't connect to her or the way she lived her life.
Eve is all set to get married at the age of forty-three and she is happy, her career seems awesome and the guy she is marrying pampers her to death and she is ready for family and everything but when she impulsively decides to visit her fiancee just before the wedding, she over-hears some bitter truths, one that her fiancee is a mobster and second he was responsible for the attacks that happened on her sister Summer. She runs in a panic, into a dumpster, drinks and then manages to enter a FBI surveillance van.
FBI agent Jake has been after her fiancee for years and can't believe the bride ran out on him, and when she spills her whole drunken story he takes her away and later concocts a plan where she says she was mugged so that she can get proof.
I just didn't like the story much or it's execution, that there is an attraction blossoming between these two is fairly obvious even if they don't get much page time together.
