It was fun to read more of the Morelli family .....

Suddenly Single by Millie Criswell Harlequin Flipside # 21 - August 2004 Morelli Sister #2 After watching Francie go through the nightmare of four weddings planned by their mother, Lisa decides when it's her time she's going to elope. And she does; exactly when Francie finally makes it to the alter; Lisa is on her way to Vegas to marry the love of her life of three weeks, Alex. But when Alex takes her to Florida to live with his snobby parents, Lisa isn't prepared to suddenly become the Stepford wife that seems to be expected of her. So she runs home determined to get a divorce. But Alex likes being married to Lisa, and he follows her, and when she won't speak to him, he has to recruit Momma Morelli to his cause. It was fun to read more of the Morelli family and friends from Ms. Criswell's earlier book. I liked the fact that even though Lisa was right to feel hurt by Alex's parent's treatment of her, she did grow up and understand that they truly thought they were looking after Alex's best interests. Alex is a hoot as he tries to woo his "runaway bride" back into his arms. see also ... Staying Single by Millie Criswell for Francie Morelli's story.

What a treat

Suddenly Single is an enchanting book. Lisa Morelli fell in love with Alex Mackenzie in a heartbeat. She always was a fly by the seat of her pants kind of girl. Lisa wasn't prepared for the move to Florida to live with Alex's conservative, rich family. So she ran back home and started to figure out what direction her life should go. Alex realized he handled things all wrong at this parent's home. He follows his runaway bride and sets out to prove they belong together. Lisa isn't ready at first to take Alex back. But Alex is set on wooing his wife back into his arms. Lisa and Alex are two people made for each other, they both have to admit their mistakes and try again. Suddenly Single revisits characters from Staying Single. Momma Josephine is back in fighting form and is fun to watch the sparks fly. Millie Criswell has writing a sweetheart of a book.

Loved it!!!

I loved this book. The heroine showed a depth of emotional growth, and along the way, she fell in love. The hero is well drawn and I thought the plot was engaging. The humor is classic Criswell. I don't think fans will be disappointed. I sure wasn't!

amusing contemporary romance

Unable to cope with her husband's snooty family and his inability to be more than a wimpy mama's boy, Lisa Morelli walks out on Alex Mackenzie to return to her family. Her sister and mother object because they fear the twenty-seven year old is heading to spinsterhood and to give up a hunk like Alex is lunacy. Stunned by the collapse of his marriage in record time, Alex misses his wife and decides to follow her in order to court her so as to re-win her hand. Alex shocks Lisa by showing up as she figured his mama would want an annulment to rid the Morelli taint from the Mackenzie elite. She is further stunned when he removes his banking suit for a leather jacket and switches from a classic car to a motorcycle as Alex will do anything to regain Lisa at his side forever. This is an amusing contemporary romance due to the desperate turn around by Alex to prove to his beloved that she is first in his life, not his mother; Lisa is an independent individual who cannot understand why mama has so much influence on the intelligent Alex so she decides to go the single route. Though readers will wonder whether the effort Alex makes is worth the time, fans will laugh out loud by this comedic romp. Harriet Klausner
