Cate Padgett was the bridesmaid, four times over, in Always the Bridesmaid. Now she’s finally the blushing bride—for better, for worse…
Cate couldn’t wait for her own wedding so she could do it right, after all she’d learned from the mistakes her friends made before her. And Ethan was the perfect husband-to-be. If only something, anything, else was perfect…
First her engagement ring disappears. Then Ethan’s ex-girlfriend shows up—and keeps showing up. Cate’s mother has a stranglehold on the planning, Cate’s on the verge of turning into bridezilla, and Ethan’s meddling cousin is making Cate regret inviting her to join the wedding party. She wants to marry her one true love. But her special day is making her want to run the other way…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Cate Padgett, the 28-year-old titular heroine of Always the Bridesmaid, returns for more wedding woes-this time from behind the veil. Cate's moony marriage fantasy finally comes true when her boyfriend Ethan proposes in Cancun. But hijinks ensue, of course, beginning with the stilted chronicles of Cate's missing engagement ring. Then there's Cate's traditional Catholic mom, Connie, who threatens to boycott the wedding if Cate and Ethan move in together before their nuptials. Cate is also plagued by Ethan's ubiquitous, scheming ex, Janet; an unpleasant bridesmaid, Denise; and Ethan's sleazy older brother, his buxom young Czech girlfriend in tow. Though Lyles effectively conveys Cate's stymied attempts to be considerate of everyone involved in the wedding planning (a byproduct of tortured bridesmaid-hood), the action comes at a disappointing pace, punctuated by lengthy but not wholly successful attempts at humor.
