Sure, some of the events are different, but it’s exactly the same pattern of someone wanting a marriage because their family is perfect and someone determined to avoid it because their parents screwed up. I’m sure just by reading that summary it’s pretty obvious that this book is almost a carbon copy of the last one. She’ll have to convince him that their love is worth it. But Jack hesitates with women, and doesn’t want the permanency that is Emma’s goal. The girls’ close friend Jack Cooke has almost always been attracted to Emma, as most men seem to be, but only just gets the courage to act on it when she realizes she might be reciprocating his feelings.
She wants candles, dancing in the moonlight, expensive dinners, and weekends away in New York City. She adores romance and has held her parents’ love story as ideal for her entire life. In Bed of Roses, Emmaline Grant is the total opposite. Overall, though, it wasn’t too bad, and it was perfect for my stress-fogged brain. They get together about halfway through and then the book becomes a struggle between Carter loving Mac and Mac determined not to stay with him, which is a little tiring. The romance between Mac and Carter was similarly sweet – actually the whole book is probably best described as that. That one characteristic makes them incredibly shallow, but their relationships still manage to be sweet and makes me think about how nice friends can be. I didn’t think any woman but Mac was particularly fleshed out, and if they hadn’t had one defining characteristic each, I’m sure I would have mixed them up easily. I actually enjoyed this first book, Vision in White. Carter had a huge crush on Mac in high school and it hasn’t gone away, but he needs to convince her that love isn’t always a battlefield.
Until Carter Maguire enters her life again, at least. Mackenzie Elliott is the photographer and, despite capturing other people’s special moments every day, is determined to resist every special moment of her own due to a selfish, overdramatic mother who has effectively ruined any concept of romance she might have had. Each woman has control over one aspect of the business. Four women, who have been friends since childhood, together run a wedding company called Vows.
