"Kiss The Bride" by Jody Wallace is a novella length story - 115 pages for $1.99, published by Entangled (Ever After division). Caroline is getting married to a "pencil neck geek" and has asked her best friend, "Heck" (Herman Heckley) to be her "maid" of honor. They are days away from the wedding, and all of a sudden, EVERYONE is getting cold feet!When I first read about the book, I immediately thought, "Uh oh. It's gonna be a rehash of `Made of Honor' or `My Best Friend's Wedding'". I was happy to find out that no - it's NOT just a rehash! Okay, so we all realize this is going to end up with the two of them realizing they love each other... but the way they get there isn't formulaic and is actually quite hysterical in sections. Jody Wallace relays her impressions of how Heck handles gown shopping, decorating for the bachelorette party (envision duct tape bows & shower curtains as wall coverings) and being the focus of the stripper he hired for the party. The author does a great job also showing how easily miscommunication happens between men and women, and you find yourself rooting out loud for Heck & Caroline to make the right choices and COMMUNICATE.Such a great novella - read it right through with a smile on my face. Great beach read or carpool pick-up lane read!
