Least Likely Wedding?

April 15, 2005
In " Least Likely Wedding," actress Kay Aaronson finds herself in a fix after her leading man walks off the set. Desperate to find someone to fill in, Kay latches onto Rob Dalton. Since Rob has no acting experience, Kay is forced to show him how to put emotion into his kiss with the leading lady. Much to Kay's surprise, Rob's kiss proves to be so sizzlingly sexy she is finding it difficult to resist imagining what a real romance with Rob would be like.

" Baby Blues and Wedding Bells" brings prodigal son Zach Corbett back to his small town. There he finds someone else besides his older brother, Steve, and his mother, Lana, waiting for him: eight-year-old Nell. It seems that when Zach left Tobias, Wisconsin, nearly nine years ago, he unknowingly left behind a pregnant girlfriend. Now, even though Steve and his new wife, Annette, adopted Nell and are raising her as their own, Zach knows that he can't just leave. Fortunately, Fran, the girl next door and a longtime friend of the family, is willing to let Zach stay with her until he sorts matters out with his family, unwittingly giving him one more reason to stay. With her two latest books set in a perfectly realized and perfectly charming small town, McLinn has created two beautifully written, richly emotional love stories that are a joy to read.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2005, American Library Association.)
