Can this wedding be saved?
Up-and-coming floral designer Cara Kryzik is about to score the wedding of a lifetime—one that will solidify her career as the go-to-girl for Savannah society nuptials. The only problem is, life seems to be conspiring against her. Caras implacable father, “The Colonel”, doesnt believe in Caras business savvy and is about to call in his twenty-thousand-dollar loan. Then, on the morning that someone steals her dog, Caras refrigerator goes on the blink, turning twelve thousand dollars' worth of gorgeous blooms into road kill. And if thats not enough, the dog-napper, Jack Finnerty, turns up at her latest wedding and then mysteriously leaves her stranded on the dance floor.
All this turmoil will be solved if Cara can pull off the lavish Trappnell-Strayhorn wedding. The payday will solve all her problems—even the looming problem of a celebrated florist named Cullen Keane who is moving into her turf from Charleston. But the wedding is in six weeks, the bride is acting strangely (even for a bride) and the stepmother of the bride is becoming Caras biggest headache. What Cara needs is to focus, but thats not easy when Jack is turning up at every wedding in Savannah (the man seems to know everybody), with Cara in his sights and seduction on his mind.
When Brooke Trappnell spirals into a shocking crisis and the wedding is in jeopardy, Cara must come to the rescue and figure out what she really believes in. Is it love? Is it her own strength? In the end, for everyone, “Save the Date” has more meanings than one. Told with Mary Kay Andrews trademark wit and keen eye for detail, Save the Date is one you wont want to miss.
Review
"Narrator Kathleen McInerney's perky voice and sweet tone engage listeners with this light summer read. Beautiful florist Cara Kryzik has had a run of bad luck, but true love and the chance to be the "go-to" florist for the wealthy brides of Savannah are there—just out of reach. McInerney easily transitions between the voices of determined Cara; her brusque father; hunky Jack Finnerty, her love interest; and Bert, her flighty and funny assistant. A great listen for a day at the beach or a rainy day curled up on a couch." —AudioFile on Save the Date
“Narrator McInerney reads in a lively tone bringing both empathy and humor and flawlessly delivering fun character voices. This entertaining chick lit/romance is perfect for a lazy summer at the beach.” - Publishers Weekly
