Dear Readers:
The hilarious gang from The Tanglewood Inn are back, and everyone will enjoy this title as much as all the extremely funny ones that came before!
This story follows Audrey Regan - a girl who used to design haute couture for her Barbie dolls when she was only nine-years-old. Audrey loved separating crystals and beads with her grandmother, even though her sister, Carly, used to get into all the little boxes and mess everything up.
Audrey is all grown-up now with a company of her own; she designs the most beautiful gowns in the world. Unfortunately, her business isn’t going anywhere. She invested her entire inheritance from her grandmother into her own line, and she is barely staying afloat. In fact, if she doesn’t land the contract for this latest wedding gown, she pretty much has to lay off her assistant and close the doors for good.
What she’s doing is heading down to Georgia to help Carly, who is about to walk down the aisle. Audrey designed the perfect wedding dress, and she pretty much figures that this will be her last vacation. After all, with this financial splurge, Audrey will then officially be out of money and heading to the unemployment office.
When she reaches The Tanglewood Inn, she meets up with the whole bridal gang including, Emma Rae who is the ultimate pastry chef and wedding cake designer, as well as Sherilyn who is the primo wedding planner, Fee and many, many others that fans have fallen in love with. Who she doesn’t expect to meet up with however, is a man by the name of J.R. Hunt who is the groom’s older brother and best man.
J.R. is a man who looks the Easy Rider come back to life. More than anything, he needs a shower, haircut and a shave. Riding into the Inn on his Harley, J.R. is there to support Devon, his younger and completely different brother who is, first and foremost, a dedicated Marine. Of course, when J.R. raises his gaze from his brother and is introduced to Audrey, he almost falls off his chair. Here is the ultimate platinum-blonde pin-up girl with all the right curves, and BRAINS, too! Let’s just say that J.R.’s Harley is not the only thing revving up when this relationship begins.
As always, add in a few minor mistakes, upsets, and friendships galore, and you once again have a light-hearted book filled with laughter and a whole lot of fun! Enjoy!
Until next time,
Amy
