There Goes the Bride
Seasoned romance writer Wilde offers her take on the runaway-bride tale. Texas oil heiress and interior designer Delaney Cartwright has always followed her mother's wishes, but now she is weeks away from her extravagant wedding to Dr. Evan Van Zandt and plotting her own kidnapping. Her fiance may be her perfect society match, but it is police detective Nick Vinetti, the grandson of a client, with whom Delaney pictures herself walking down the aisle. When she finds a beautiful veil in a consignment shop, the owner warns her it will deliver her one true wish--even if she won't admit what that is. This is the first in a planned series about the enchanted veil working its magic on a circle of friends, and Wilde definitely leaves readers anticipating the next installment. The opening tale is predictable but satisfying: although Delaney ends up with the man she truly loves, it takes a wild ride to get there.Aleksandra KostovskiCopyright © American Library Association.
