Book #31 - Bed of Roses by Nora Roberts

I really enjoyed the first book in Nora Roberts' Bride Quartet, so when I saw that the second book was out, I knew it would be my second romance novel for this challenge.

I think it's part of a woman's nature to be fascinated with anything having to do with weddings when you're planning one. Or maybe that's just something I tell myself to make me feel better. Regardless, I can't seem to get enough weddings right now. Like Vision in White, this novel follows another of the Vows partners, this time Emma who's the florist of the group, as she embarks on a new relationship with an old friend. The formula's not exactly reinventing the wheel, as it's the same plot line as the first book. But it's still entertaining to follow the story of Emma and her new, main squeeze Jack.

The friendship of the four women also continues to grow and blossom during this novel, and you can already see hints of the couplings that will likely take place in the last two books. However, I don't like to give up on a series once I've started it - so expect a recap of the third book not long after it's published.
