Summary: A Wedding in the Family
Review: Back cover reads:
Sister of the bride!
Lillian has a mission: to stop her wayward sister's wedding! Not only will her grandmother cut both sisters off without a penny if it goes ahead...but Rachel is also about to marry into the family of Texan rancher Rye Parrish. And he's just about the most self-satisfied, egotistical man Lilly has ever met!
Rye is equally determined to stop the wedding. Only he's too proud to cooperate with Lilly. Just because she's heart-stoppingly pretty, that doesn't mean she isn't a spoiled little rich girl, just like her sister! Except, somehow, Lilly is beginning to seem a lot like his ideal woman, after all...

Summary: Lillian's little sister is marrying Rye's brother -
Review: could it be the wrong couple is tying the knot? Lillian doesn't understand the big, brash rancher who is determined to see the wedding never takes place. Rye can't figure out the reserved socialite who is the opposite of her wayward sister Rocky. Is she hiding her true nature, or could Lillain be as sweet as she seems to be? A couple who seems total opposites, just might end up being a match-made-in-heaven. This is my second book by Susan Fox, but it definitely won't be my last. She has a powerful way with words and tells a beautiful love story.

Summary: Best Book I Ever Read - Powerful, Sweet Love Story
Review: I simply love the way the characters fall in love, and can't seem to resist each other. Both come from troubled childhoods, and bond in a powerful way because they are truly kindred spirits. The female character has thirsted for friendship, let alone love, and has always thought there was something about herself that kept others from liking, let alone, loving her. But Rye finds her irresistable despite himself, and his totally misplaced and incorrect misconceptions about her.Is the title "Dance Sonata" by Susan Fox also a romance novel by this same author (hard back listing from 1987)? If so, has anyone a description of the plot of this book? If it's anything like "Wedding In the Family," I must have it!

Summary: Sweet and Enchanting
Review: Susan Fox is a wonderful writer whose stories are heartwrenching and heartwarming. I love the way she explores the emotions of the characters which touches my heart. Here, two tormented souls found peace and happiness through misunderstanding and understanding. Rye Parrish and Lillian Renard came from totally different backgrounds. He was a wealthy, rugged Texas rancher while she was a rich, dainty and refined NY socialite but they both suffer from the same pains and hurts -- starvation from love and affection and abandonement by their mothers. They met under strange circumstances. Lillian was ordered by her autocratic grandmother to go to Texas to break up the impending marriage of Rye's brother,Chad with her wayward sister, Rachel. Rye wanted the same thing. He had an undisguised contempt for rich, spoilt, pampered socialites because his mother was one who heartlessly abandoned her family for the selfish pursuit of personal pleasures. Thus, he was boorish, rude and hostile to the reserved, timid, cultured and delicately pretty Lillian from the start. The hilarious rattlesnake episode brought their mutual attraction into the open. He was so ruggedly handsome, virile and male while she was so sweet, gentle and femininely soft. Then gradually, he discovered Lillian was not what he thought to be. The feelings of tenderness and protectiveness she aroused in him changed their relationship and he fell in love. Now, Lillian's grandmother was bent on nipping the romance in the bud. The rest is for readers to find out.
