The first three books in the Bride Quartet by Nora Roberts were highly entertaining. Vision in White, Bed of Roses, and Savor the Moment are pure fluff romance. But for escapist reading they rank high in my book!
The series is about four women who have been lifelong friends. They have created a wedding planning business that is very successful. Each of them remains single. In the first book, Vision in White, the photographer of the business finds love with a professor. In the second, Bed of Roses, the florist finder her soul mate. In the third, Savor the Moment, the cake baker/decorator finally unites with her true love. The fourth book in the quartet is due out in November 2010.
As I said, these books are pure fluff. The setting is too perfect; the four women live together on a large estate where they also conduct their business. The characters, while flawed, are also near perfection. But they are likable, all of them, even the secondary characters. This is escapist fiction at it's best. Very fast reads, no brain power required, however Ms. Roberts pays enough attention to the detail in her books that the reader does not feel insulted. If you are looking for a quick, feel good, read, this is your series.
Happy Reading!
