Publisher Description
For Professor Laurie Wilson, planning her wedding to longtime boyfriend Brandon Kopp has been a whirlwind. But somehow, between all the cake tastings and dress fittings, she never imagined being left at the altar. In the aftermath, she does what any sensible woman would - she swigs champagne and considers keying his car. Until someone knocks on her door with a much better idea for revenge.
Best man Andrew Lyndon thinks Laurie's better off without Brandon. But Laurie's father - and Andrew's boss - isn't going to accept anything less than a reconciliation. And he's made it Andrew's problem to solve. So Andrew decides to make Brandon jealous by setting Laurie up on a string of "dates." After a couple of weeks, Brandon will be begging Laurie to take him back. But Andrew's plan works a little too well because suddenly he's the one falling for Laurie -- and planning a proposal of his own.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ramsay's third Chapel of Love contemporary (after A Small-Town Bride) is a satisfying tale of finding love by finding oneself. Laurie Wilson, a professor at a small college in Shenandoah Falls, a Washington, D.C., suburb, is stunned when her boyfriend of five years, Brandon Kopp, leaves her at the altar. Laurie is quickly ushered out of the church by handsome lawyer Andrew Lyndon, Brandon's best friend. Laurie's father is Andrew's boss, and he insists that Andrew get Brandon and Laurie back together. Trouble is, Andrew doesn't want to he falls for her, too. Sweet, loyal Andrew helps Laurie to realize that she subjugated her own desires in favor of Brandon's desires, including turning down the job offers she received from more prestigious universities. He shows Laurie that Brandon's refusal to marry her was the best gift of her life. The usual problems ensue ex-lovers showing up, a hunky Marine turned small-town cop who might steal the heroine's heart, manipulative relatives but Ramsay ably navigates the shoals of predictable plot machinations to deliver appealing primary and secondary characters (particularly Laurie's group of girlfriends). This is a well-paced, expertly characterized, and fun story.
