Meg helps her best friend realize she doesn't want to marry her fiance Ted the Golden Boy on the day of the wedding. Best friend disappears and Meg gets stranded in the fiance's home town. Meg has been cut off by her family (who have plenty of money and it pissed me off that they supposedly loved her but kinda treated her like shit) so she gets a job to earn money to go back to LA. She's my hero, actually. And the book was funny, too.

I loved Meg but Ted was kind of an ass and everyone was so MEAN to Meg in that damn town. ( )

When Meg's best friend gets married, only a best friend can see through the nerves straight to the root of the problem. The groom is too perfect. The bride bails and Meg is expected to stick around just in case the bride changes her mind. Except Meg is a mess. Spoiled and thrown out into the world to make her way, she's clueless and penniless and wisecracking. The groom's home town rages against her for destroying the wedding of the century, but Meg has a keen insight into Mr. Perfect. I loved this story from beginning to end. My first SEP novel, and now I'm anxious to read more. ( )

Meg Koranda es la mejor amiga de Lucy Jorik, que esta a punto de casarse con Ted Beudine. Ted es la clase de hombre por quien toda mujer suspira, al que todo los padres adoran, y cuya vida quisiera tener cualquier hombre. Es el tipo perfecto para cualquier mujer, salvo para Lucy. Meg consigue convencer a su amiga de que con Ted no va a encontrar la felicidad. Una vez que se suspende la boda, Meg es quien carga con las culpas de haber destruido los suenos romanticos de Ted. Y para complicar aun mas las cosas, Meg se queda tirada con el coche en la ciudad natal de Ted, sin dinero y con un novio muy disgustado, pero esta segura de que puede sobrevivir con su ingenio. Que es lo peor que puede pasarle? Perder el corazon por el mismisimo don Irresistible?

I wish we could give half stars. I would call this 3-1/2. I enjoyed this book. It wasn't my favorite of SEP's but it wasn't my least favorite either. At first I wasn't sure. I didn't like Ted for quite a while. I also have a tough time when the heroine of a story gets humiliated like she did at the first there in town. But once all that kind of got smoothed over, it got better. I did think that Ted redeemed himself in the end. I really liked Meg throughout the entire story. ( )

This was the perfect "can't-put-it-down" bit of fluff for the unexpected snow day I had today, and I read the whole thing in one go. I didn't realize this was the 5th book in a series (The Wynette, Texas Series) or I would have never touched it. But I'm glad I didn't know, because it stands on its own and was charming, fun and totally enjoyable. The plot was a little preposterous, but Meg and Ted, the lovers who of course start of hating each other, were really likable; and the plot moved along at a quick and entertaining clip. The inevitable sex scenes had just enough detail to be hot but not enough to be cringe-inducing; or unintentionally funny, as I find so many of them to be. I might check out some of the earlier books in the series as I liked the author's writing style, and these characters, enough that I wouldn't mind another trip to Wynette, Texas. ( )
