Barely 3/5 stars. Too stereotypical. Not bad, just not fabulous.
The Wedding Favor by Cara Connelly is an Avon publication. I was provided a copy of this book from the publisher and Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
For Ty, a man that lost his wife in a drunk driving accident, Vicky is a cold hearted bitch attorney. Ty gets the last laugh when he wins the settlement. After the verdict, he hops on a plane to France for his friend Isabella's wedding. The last person on earth he expected to see on this flight was the "bitch on wheels" herself. Not only is she on the plane , but he has to sit right next to her. After a few Jack Daniels, Ty starts to loosen up and finds that Vicky is a very attactive woman.
Striking up a conversation, Vicky reveals that she too is on her way to a wedding- her brother, Matt's wedding. She tells Ty about her controlling mother and how her fiance cheated on her. Before they knew it the two were on the verge of panting all over each other. Ty's alcohol consumption caused him to pass out before anything happened. He realized what almost happened and moved away from Vicky for the rest of the flight. But, he hasn't seen the last of Vicky. That wedding? Yes, you guessed it. Not only are they attending the same wedding, but Vicky is the groom's sister and Isabelle has assigned Ty the job of keeping Vicky company.
Back and forth bickering ensues as the two attempt to pretend to get along for the sake of the wedding. Even when Vicky's mother arrives and things really get tense.
But wait... There's more! Vicky's former fiance is also a guest and is trying to get Vicky to take him back... with her mother's approval!
This contemporary romance/chick lit novel was a super fun, super sexy, super sweet novel. Vicky will finally make some serious life choices on her own without her mother's constant manipulation. She will also take a chance on seeing her dreams come true in a career of her own chosing. But what about love?
Ty has made some big mistakes with Vicky. When it looks as though she may slip through his fingers, Ty has to do some hard thinking. Will he be able to find peace about the circumstances of his wife's death? Will he understand the way Vicky feels before it's too late?
Ty and Vicky never have that starry eyed, love at first sight type romance. They are fire and ice all the way. When they aren't at each others throats , they are tearing each other's clothes off. The story is light and humorous, but there are some real emotional moments as well. At times I thought things might have gotten just a little over the top, but overall an enjoyable read.
This one gets an A.
