Literally read most of this by the pool today. Perfect for that.
Okay, this one is, I must say, better than the first one, Vision in White. This got some meat in it to bite into. And a whole lotta romance.
Emma is a hopeless romantic while Jack is the usual playboy. It amazes me how in romance novels, they make the playboys appear to be ... well, exactly the ones you want to take to your mother. Such hope and illusion these novels present to us, no?
A bit fairy tale-ish at times, a bit too cloying at parts and a bit too corny, Bed of Roses is the ideal read for daydreaming. I like the book anyway. Shoot me.
After reading and sort of enjoying the first in this series, I thought I'd give the second book a try. I found this book laborious. So... no more wedding planner romances for me. Yawn.
