Everything But...
review 1: The curse that wasn't a curse finally comes to an end. Dori knew her Grandmother planned on her breaking the family curse, but she's got no plans whatsoever of ever falling in love and marrying. She's got her family, her nephews and a new baby on the way, and she's got her housing projects. Carter William Hastings plans on moving out west and starting his own architectural firm, but he's willing to do one last thing for his cousin CeCe before he goes. Win a contract for her with Salo Construction to do the interior design. So Dori and Carter create a friendship to satisfy both families knowing they won't have to keep it up more than a few weeks. But lies and emotions and changes of the heart get in the way. Loved this story and this series.
review 2: Everything
... more But A Wedding is the third installment of series. About what happens when a Hungarian grandmother unintentionally curses her family to never again have a big, fancy wedding. Dori is the last unwed grandchild, and Nana's last chance this generation to break her accidental curse. The entire family seems to believe that interior designer, Carter, is Dori's love and destiny. Dori, however, strongly disagrees. How can a life-long tomboy form a committed relationship with a metrosexual clothes horse? One of the best things about this series is the strong sense of family loyalty. As Carter learns, your family does have to be large to have strong ties. What's not so great is that the characters tend to be rigid in their ideas and beliefs. Emotional cowardice is also a running theme. I prefer more daring characters.Everything But A Wedding is a clean romance that is appropriate for the PG13+ crowd. Parents will enjoy the story, yet not feel uncomfortable sharing the book with teens. less

This was a typical romance book. But it was a short, easy read.
