Menu for a Wedding is a great story of love and family.  The story is well written/paced, easy read with characters that are likeable.  Eric, a restaurateur who is catering a wedding falls for the sister (Frankie) of his client.  Eric initially meets Frankie while she acts as an Italian interpreter between Eric and her mother Teresa on the wedding menu.  An instant attraction is felt between Eric and Frankie.Eric is a handsome gentleman, direct, business man that's patience & who knows who and what he wants while Frankie is a shy, business woman, less confident with her looks, & more high strung.  Eric is everything Frankie thought she did not want.  With a fear of having to sacrifice part of herself to have both love and a career, Frankie vows never to marry.The story weaves family dynamists of love, arguments, snooping, and being there for one another in the time of need.  Reading about Frankie's Aunt Rosina for some reason gave me a mental image of Aunt Voula in the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and put a smile on my face.The family inquisitiveness that irritates Frankie so much about her family and so many of us find irritating as well, she later comes to accept and appreciate.  On a side note, the love scenes are not graphic but romantic and appropriate. Also, formatting errors throughout book.  Dispite errors, Menu for a Wedding can be any family and was a delight to read.
