Rating: Summary: from the BestWeddingSites.com editor Review: A DELIGHTFULLY ROMANTIC STORY - you will fall in love with the characters.Linda Francis Lee has an amazing writing style, she definitely knows how to grab the readers attention and keeps you interested throughout the entire story. I even found myself reading the book while stirring dinner on the stove, as I didn't want to put the book down. Luckily nothing got burnt :) And the ending of the book is absolutely wonderful. A perfect story for all you romantics.
Rating: Summary: Like a BAD series romance! Review: Horrible. Sorry, but I can't believe that this is the same author who wrote Dove's Way! What happened? In this second attempt at contemporary fiction this book is so lacking. It reads like a bad series romance book.... Thoughout the book Vivi is supposed to be funny and small and fragile as we are reminded so many times throughout the book. She is also quirky and has bad fashion sense, ie. dresses like a hooker. Ditzy socialite and rags to riches tycoon. Bad story, bad plotting, unlikable characters. The worst. A total wastes of money and brain cells.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful book! Review: I loved The Wedding Diaries! It made me laugh and cry a dozen times. Great characters and story that made me feel good all over. If you like Rachel Gibson's contemporary romances, you'll enjoy this one.
Rating: Summary: Could have been better Review: I really liked "The Ways of Grace" by Ms. Lee and was looking foward to "The Wedding Diaries". I was however let down. I thought Max was too much at times. Some of the comments out of his mouth were too straight-foward and arrogant. I might smack a guy like him. However, at times I really liked him. It's like he had a good side (in everyday life) and a bad side (in the bedroom). It was not romantic, but vulgar. I read almost the entire book, but got so fed up I did not even finish it. I felt like I would not miss anything and knew how it would end. It was ok, but really, it could have been better.
Rating: Summary: I loved it. Review: I thought this book was great. Vivi was at times just a little flakey, but she was rich as well. See, I thought the problem was one of the girls, Nikki. At times she was not that bad, but others, well, what that kid needed she sure never got. I think that if she was that mean she did not get any punishment she deserved. That kid crossed the line a few times. But I liked the story. The end was great. Brought tears to my eyes. I like this author. I read the Simply series before this and I like those books a little more, I think. But this was a good one for the collection.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful book! Review: In Texas, Max Landy shows a house he lists to his client Vivienne "Pampered Princess" Stansfield. Not long afterward, Vivienne learns that she is in deep debt and her father, who pays the bills, is missing and her fiancé dumped her. Max sees her in Bobby's Place, a popular bar, drowning her sorrows and offers her encouragement. However, she interprets his words as a job offer as a nanny to his younger sisters that he raises. A couple of days later an even more desperate Vivienne accepts. Desperate for someone to care for his two siblings he gives her a chance. As they fight she begins to provide a positive influence on his two wards and his other adult siblings. She feels good that he seems to care about Vivienne and not the media darling princess. Soon Max and Vivienne fall in love, but her faith in Max is shattered when she learns he has kept a scrapbook centered on her since they met twenty years ago as children from different sides of the tracks. THE WEDDING DIARIES is a fine contemporary romance starring two likable lead characters, a host of congenial secondary players (his siblings), and two disagreeable parents. The story line is fun as readers enjoy watching the "Pampered Princess" struggling yet persevering against all odds. Though key issues and problems resolve too easily, Linda Francis Lee provides a delightful tale that sub-genre readers will enjoy. Harriet Klausner

Rating: Summary: ~ Wow Another Keeper For Me ~ Review: That's why I love to read because of books like these. This was my first book by Linda Francis Lee, I have a habit of looking at a book and deciding if I want to read it or if I will wait until the next time I usually end up waiting, then kick myself for waiting so long, it happen to me with this book, I loved it so much I did not want it to end, I loved all the characters. I loved Vivi she is trying to prove that she is not this spoil princess that everyone think she is, she even wants to prove it to Max. I just feel in love with Max and his little sister Lila, Nicki, was another story all she wanted was her brothers love and attention and when she didn't get it she would act out and Vivi had to be the to patch things up with Max and the rest of his sister that part I loved, this book was so funny and then it had you feeling sad for them, I caught myself cheering for this family to have a happy ending, this book is another keeper for me :) Happy Reading Lisa

Then her father disappears, her money is gone and she catches her fiancé kissing another woman.
