Review: Alaskan bush pilot Tanner Davenport flies home to Kentucky to stop his brother from marrying neighbor Savannah MacKay. Savannah has never stuck to anything and Tanner does not believe her marriage to his brother can possibly last. When he shares his concerns with Savannah's older sister Charity, she promises to help him stop the wedding, while plotting to ensure that it actually goes off without a hitch. It has been eight years since Tanner and Charity have seen one another and the attraction between them is palpable. But he loves flying, whales and the aurora borealis.

So while she struggles to keep her horse business thriving, Charity strives to keep Tanner as far away from Savannah as possible for the next two weeks until the wedding takes place. Author Dianne Castell takes a well used plot and adds her own flair to create a freshly delightful tale in THE WEDDING RESCUE. A well rounded cast of characters keeps the pages turning swiftly as Tanner and Savannah threaten to set the bluegrass state ablaze. Neither Tanner nor Charity is prepared to deal with the impossibly strong attraction between them. With a rich background and delightful subplots that comes alive with Castell's deft pen, THE WEDDING RESCUE comes highly recommended.

Summary: fine contemporary
Review: Alaskan bush pilot Tanner Davenport lands his Cessna on Charity MacKay's horse farm claiming he was low on gas and needed to talk to her. She informs him that his family farm is bigger and that she knows nothing about Alaska and flying and he knows less about race horses in spite of growing up with them. Tanner has come home to Bluegrass Ridge, Kentucky for the marriage of his brother Nathan to her sister Savannah. In fact Tanner has come home not to attend a wedding, but to stop the marriage as he believes his sibling is making the error of a lifetime, which he makes clear to Charity. Trying to keep his interference to a minimum, Charity tags along side of Tanner, but the attraction between them heats up the Bluegrass State. As she also works a potential Derby contender, Charity knows he is Alaska and she is Kentucky making anything permanent between them more than just a minor commute. Though the interfering in marriage theme is a trite topic, Dianne Castell makes her intelligent romance feel like the first novel to use this theme due to a deep wonderful cast. Tanner and Charity are a fine pair struggling against a deep attraction that neither wants. Their family members augment the tale with a feel for horse breeding country and insight into the lead duet. Fans will want to ride (either by plane ore horse) along side the dynamic duo as they attempt THE WEDDING RESCUE that could easily boomerang. Harriet Klausner
