Summary: Thoroughly delightful!
Review: As adolescents, Mark, Adam, and Tory were the Three Musketeers -- fiercely loyal to each other, inseparable, the very best of friends. Unfortunately, once grown, both men fall in love with the irrepressible heroine, and both ask her to marry them. But Tory chooses "safe" Mark over "wild" Adam, who, brokenhearted but unwilling to get in the way, leaves town. Who could predict, however, that Mark would be diagnosed with cancer two weeks after his and Tory's marriage? When he dies six years later, his young widow eventually resumes something resembling a life, but one devoid of laughter. A year after his friend's death, Adam -- now a successful attorney -- receives a purposefully delayed letter from Mark, asking him to go back to Tory, to make her laugh again. . .and perhaps to discover what Mark knew all along? Although Adam's gut reaction rebels against his friend's last request, eventually loyalty -- and perhaps curiosity? -- win out. Determined to follow Mark's instructions to the letter, and nothing more, Adam is surprised to discover some things never really change.Written in a fresh, dynamic voice, with spunky, funny, charming characters that the author lets speak for themselves, A Bride Worth Waiting For shows that even traditional romance doesn't have to be "typical". Brilliantly blending laugh-out-loud humor with surprise moments of genuine, tear-invoking bittersweetness, Ms. Coulter has done a superb job. I, for one, will definitely be looking for more of her work.

Summary: Absolutely lovely
Review: I cannot express in words how wonderful this book is. Colter has crafted a touching, sweet, and simply beautiful tale of undying love (on the parts of all three of the people involved) and the power and strength of friendship and trust. I laughed, I cried, and I was just so touched. Adam, Tory, and Mark are all loveable and sympathetic. I just wish the book were twice as long, showing us more of the happy ending!

Summary: not to be missed
Review: This book is a refreshing reminder that there are many kinds of real love--and that there can be more than one "great" love in a lifetime. A definite keeper, once more enriched with unforgettable "minor" characters and vivid details. Don't miss it! Highly recommended for those who were a little disappointed by "A Hasty Wedding."
