Publisher Comments:

Planning a wedding can be a trying experience…

A little prewedding anxiety is normal for every bride, and Manhattan attorney Brooke Miller isn't worried. She's got the loving support of the world's greatest guy, so planning her nuptials should be a piece of cake.

But that was yesterday.

Today, Brooke's landed her fi rst big case and has just discovered that the opposing attorney is none other than her fi ancé, Jack. But that's okay. These two professionals aren't going to let a little courtroom sparring get their legal briefs in a bunch.… Right? Wrong! Now Jack's pulling every dirty trick in the law books, and Brooke's starting to suspect that maybe he isn't the man she thought he was. Warring with her fi ancé at work and at home, Brooke realizes that she'll have to choose between the case of her life, or actually having a life.

I was pretty disappointed - this book was only OK. I did finish it in one day while home sick on the couch, but only so I could find out what happened in the end. I found myself skipping over sentences, especially the parenthetical ones, and trying to move the story along. The premise of the story is a cute one, but the way this book was written had me wanting more - more editing, better descriptive passages...
I did my best not to compare this author's style to Sophie Kinsella and Lolly Winston - only because this is the only book of Ms. Janowitz's that I've ever read - but the similarities (or want of them) are there.

Still, I wouldn't throw this book entirely under the bus - give a try for yourself and make your own opinion.
