Simply put, middle school teacher Dana Dillard is fixated with visiting Hawaii. She's watched nearly every video ever made about traveling to Hawaii. So when one of her favorite show's, Perfect Wedding, offers a fantasy wedding and honeymoon in Hawaii as a contest prize, she doesn't hesitate to enter the contest even though she has no fiancé - or for that matter is not even dating anyone. Dana sets out to find a temporary husband to facilitate her winning the contest with the help of her best friend and neighbor. Dana tries all sorts of avenues to find a man including blind dates and speed dating and even considers asking her good friend and fellow teacher Steve to set her up with one of his friends. Dana's convinced however that Steve's friends date the same "model" prototypes that he does - and she know she doesn't fit that bill. Dana's Hawaii fixation and quest for a fiancé make a hilarious, engaging tale. As the decision date for the contest draws near, Dana will have to reevaluate some options that have been right there all the time. This tale was taxing in parts when Dana seemed overly naive and indecisive. All in all, however, it made for a quick, enjoyable romance.
Aloha

Dana Dillard has always dreamed of going to Hawaii. It's almost an obsession as Dana eats, sleeps, and thinks Hawaii As a sixth grade teacher saddled with student loans, going to Hawaii is looking more and more like a fantasy. That is until Dana decides to apply for the new reality show The Perfect Wedding which follows a couple through the wedding planning process that they pay for. Included with the perfect wedding is an all expenses paid honeymoon to guess where - HAWAII. This may be the only opportunity that Dana has of making it to her dream destination, except one slight problem - a fiance. Dana doesn't even have a boyfriend. And so she sets out to find a "temporary" groom-to-be to achieve her dreams But has the man of her dreams been under her nose the entire time? Not one really big on romance, I enjoyed this story. It was a good combination of romance and story, cute and comical without being mushy or sappy. The Perfect Wedding is a good read that I recommend, particularly to romantics. Reviewed by: Toni
