Summary

Drew Nolan is the antithesis of everything that Victoria Townsend holds dear. The suntanned Floridian's sickeningly healthy and relaxed view of life contradicts her chain-smoking, business-suited, take out-ordering New York existence in every way. Not that it would matter, of course; except that her boss' idea of looking out for the best interest of his stepdaughter is to banish Vic to the shores of Tampa-St. Pete.What this public relations siren doesn't know about romance could flood the sandy shores surrounding her. But if six months revamping Drew's ailing business that caters to the romantically impaired is what it takes to get her name engraved on the corner office reserved for Creative Director, she'll figure it out somehow. One crazy wedding at a time.

Booklist Review

Madeline just isn't interested in getting married. She enjoys her freedom. But her kid sister is worried because their father mandated that the younger sisters can't be courted until Maddie is safely wed. Then, in a stroke of impish genius, their brother suggests that Maddie claim to be secretly engaged to Evan Montgomery, one of his friends who went off to fight in the Civil War, never to be heard from again. Maddie moves into Evan's abandoned cottage, and for two years, this works out just fine. Then Evan's brother, Trevor, comes home, and he is not so sure about Maddie. Parra sets the traditional tale of the eldest daughter being forced to marry first in the Old West and gives it a clever twist. With her adroit blending of pathos and humor, Parra has crafted another winner, the fifth book in the Morgan Brothers series, following Saving Samantha (2002), A Wanted Man(2002), Loving Lana (2003), and Wyoming Wedding (2004). --Shelley Mosley Copyright 2005 Booklist
