Four Weddings and a Werewolf by Kristin MillerVeronica Vale is a wedding planner. She has many big weddings coming up, one of the biggest being that of her sister, who was attacked by a werewolf and thus became one herself. Her sister is marrying a member of her werewolf pack. Veronica, due to the attack, hates werewolves. She constantly makes negative comments about them; her sister dealt with her fate and moved on.Veronica has a stalker. She pretends it's romantic and talks about the notes and gifts as if they are from a courtly admirer. Her sister knows better, as does her fiancé. He hires the pack's hitman and body guard, Logan, to watch her. They lie to Veronica and assure her that Logan isn't a werewolf so that she won't argue about his presence. Logan must then follow in Veronica's footsteps every minute of every day.This is a story about classic stereotyping, prejudice, racism, and what can happen when we let our fears blind us. Miller has a smooth writing style; her words go down like a hot toddy on a freezing cold day. I devoured her book in only a few short hours. Her characters are wonderful beings, sculpted with care and attention to detail. They are lively and believable.She also doesn't suspend reality, expecting us to believe her characters fall in love in minutes. She has them grow and develop feelings for each other over time.Miller writes with wit and humor, but manages to sneak a depth into her work that we only realize is there once we've finished devouring the word feast she's laid before us. This is a book and an author I encourage readers to follow and enjoy.I received a copy of this book from the publisher for purposes of review. All opinions are my own.
