A DELIGHTFULLY ROMANTIC STORY - you will fall in love with the characters.Linda Francis Lee has an amazing writing style, she definitely knows how to grab the readers attention and keeps you interested throughout the entire story. I even found myself reading the book while stirring dinner on the stove, as I didn't want to put the book down. Luckily nothing got burnt :)And the ending of the book is absolutely wonderful. A perfect story for all you romantics.

A delightful read

Vivienne Stansfield thought she had it all, wealth, her charities and a fiancé. Then her father disappears, her money is gone and she catches her fiancé kissing another woman. Vivi decides to prove that she can take care of herself and that she is not the pampered woman everyone says. Vivi accepts the position of nanny to Max Landry sisters. She had met Max previously when the local real estate mogul when she was looking for a place for her and her intended. Max and Vivi are attracted to each other from their first meeting. Max comes to realize there is more to this woman then her bizarre dress code and what the papers write about her. All he has to do is convince Vivi.Max and Vivi are wonderful well writing characters. You will pull for them and cry with them. I will be looking for more books from this author.

~ Wow Another Keeper For Me ~

That's why I love to read because of books like these. This was my first book by Linda Francis Lee, I have a habit of looking at a book and deciding if I want to read it or if I will wait until the next time I usually end up waiting, then kick myself for waiting so long, it happen to me with this book, I loved it so much I did not want it to end, I loved all the characters. I loved Vivi she is trying to prove that she is not this spoil princess that everyone think she is, she even wants to prove it to Max. I just feel in love with Max and his little sister Lila, Nicki, was another story all she wanted was her brothers love and attention and when she didn't get it she would act out and Vivi had to be the to patch things up with Max and the rest of his sister that part I loved, this book was so funny and then it had you feeling sad for them, I caught myself cheering for this family to have a happy ending, this book is another keeper for me :) Happy Reading Lisa

Wonderful book!

I loved The Wedding Diaries! It made me laugh and cry a dozen times. Great characters and story that made me feel good all over. If you like Rachel Gibson's contemporary romances, you'll enjoy this one.

Very fine

In Texas, Max Landy shows a house he lists to his client Vivienne "Pampered Princess" Stansfield. Not long afterward, Vivienne learns that she is in deep debt and her father, who pays the bills, is missing and her fiancé dumped her. Max sees her in Bobby's Place, a popular bar, drowning her sorrows and offers her encouragement. However, she interprets his words as a job offer as a nanny to his younger sisters that he raises. A couple of days later an even more desperate Vivienne accepts.Desperate for someone to care for his two siblings he gives her a chance. As they fight she begins to provide a positive influence on his two wards and his other adult siblings. She feels good that he seems to care about Vivienne and not the media darling princess. Soon Max and Vivienne fall in love, but her faith in Max is shattered when she learns he has kept a scrapbook centered on her since they met twenty years ago as children from different sides of the tracks.THE WEDDING DIARIES is a fine contemporary romance starring two likable lead characters, a host of congenial secondary players (his siblings), and two disagreeable parents. The story line is fun as readers enjoy watching the "Pampered Princess" struggling yet persevering against all odds. Though key issues and problems resolve too easily, Linda Francis Lee provides a delightful tale that sub-genre readers will enjoy.Harriet Klausner
