Rating:  Summary: Entertaining wedding ring entry Review: Back in high school, the quartet of friends believed in the sanctimony of romance and vowed to help each one find a cherished loved one if they had not married by thirty. As the young ladies turn thirty, none of them have attained the eternal ring. Thus, the matchmaking has begun in earnest resulting in Raven (LOVE'S FUNNY THAT WAY) and Charli (I DO, BUT HERE'S THE CATCH) obtaining their heart's desire. The team chooses her high school sweetheart Kirk Larson as Sunny Bleecker's target. The former Stanford professor is a widower with a toddler while Sunny is still the waitress she was when he left for California to go to college. To Sunny he remains the sexy person who was her only real boyfriend. Yet the attraction between them remains strong, but turns into an adult love. Still, he grieves his beloved first wife, making a permanent relationship between them unattainable. The third "Wedding Ring" novel, ONE EAGER BRIDE TO GO, is a warm contemporary romance that continues the fun of the first two novels. Sunny lives up to her name while Kirk provides angst as he struggles between his love for Sunny and his love for the deceased Linda. The story line is entertaining especially with visits from the other threesome trying to make the impossible become possible. Fans of the series will eagerly await the final installment as the young women merge their talents to find a loving husband for the last to turn thirty, twice divorced and world class skeptic Amanda.

Rating:  Summary: Good Series, Ok Book Review: I've enjoyed the 4 part series of this storyline - 4 best friends who promise to help each other find a husband upon their 30 birthdays. The stories were funny, crisp and the twists refreshing. But this particular book was only average. It didn't live up to book one and two, but it'll do for a middle entry.
Rating:  Summary: Very highly recommended!! Review: The four women have been best friends since kindergarten. When they graduated from high school, they formed THE WEDDING RING CLUB, agreeing to find each other husbands if any of them are still single at age thirty. Little did they suspect just how complicated that agreement would become twelve years later. ONE EAGER BRIDE TO GO is the fantastic third segment of this four part miniseries by Pamela Burford. Giving their virginity to one another, Sunny and Kirk were inseparable during high school. Since graduation, Sunny hasn't had another serious relationship because she always finds herself finding others lacking in comparison. So while Kirk went away to college in California, Sunny remains in New Jersey working at as a waitress at the local diner and waiting for Prince Charming to arrive. But not many Princes frequent the Wafflemania. Twelve years after high school she still waitresses at Wafflemania and waits for the perfect man to take her away from support hose and pink polyester uniforms. Sunny's the most eager member of the Wedding Ring, eagerly awaiting her introduction to love and marriage. But she's immensely dissatisfied when her buddies reintroduce her to her old flame. The Wedding Ring was supposed to bring her a new man, not a specter from her past. She wants a new man, not this recycled stuff! A widower, Kirk came back to Long Island to raise his eighteen-month old son. When he shows up at Charlie and Grant's wedding, he and Sunny are the ones to catch the garter and bouquet. As he slides the garter up Sunny's leg, they both know the fire of attraction still smolders. Kirk warns Sunny that he's not the same sincere man she remembers, but she disregards the warning, ill suspecting the secret that could drive them apart. Sunny's charming transformation of the bride passively waiting for Prince Charming to discovering one's own abilities makes ONE EAGER BRIDE TO GO a wonderful read. The frequent reminders of previous books, and the tantalizing glimpse at the last unmarried Wedding Ring partner also lends a depth and warmth to the novel, making it wonderful in its own right, while richer and fuller as part of the series. These characters are both memorable and uniquely individual. I can't wait for the last book of the miniseries, FIANCÉ FOR HIRE. Very highly recommended!
