Vision in White (Nora Roberts' Bride Quartet Series #1)

by Nora Roberts

Overview

#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents her first trade original—a novel of love, friendship, and family—in this beautiful french flap edition of Book One in the Bride Quartet.

Wedding photographer Mackensie "Mac" Elliot is most at home behind the camera, but her focus is shattered moments before an important wedding rehearsal when she bumps into the bride-to-be's brother...an encounter that has them both seeing stars.

A stable, safe English teacher, Carter Maguire is definitely not Mac's type. But a casual fling might be just what she needs to take her mind off bridezillas. Of course, casual flings can turn into something more when you least expect it. And Mac will have to turn to her three best friends—and business partners—to see her way to her own happy ending.

Editorial Reviews

The frighteningly prolific Roberts (see also Black Hills, reviewed on page 42) kicks off a frothy series about four friends who form an all-inclusive wedding service called Vows. Mackensie "Mac" Elliot loves capturing happy and playful moments with her camera, but her own life is all about work-until she meets English teacher Carter Maguire. He's escorting his bride-to-be sister to a meeting with the Vows team and recognizes Mac as the girl he crushed out on in high school. Funny sparks fly: he's a geeky guy who quotes Shakespeare, she's a trendy workaholic who loves shoes. He's crazy about her, which makes him verbally clumsy and, to Mac, charming, though she's saddled with a needy mother, an absent father and difficulties with both that make falling in love complicated. Roberts pulls off a nice switch in making the woman afraid of saying "I do," and her gentle humor and likable cast will immediately endear this series to readers. (May)

Booklist

Roberts weaves a story like no one else.

Denver Rocky Mountain News

Enthralled by weddings since childhood, best friends Mackensie, Parker, Emmaline, and Laurel get a chance to live out their dreams when Parker inherits her family's Connecticut estate and suggests they go into business as wedding planners, with each woman taking over a special aspect of the event. Passionate about collecting happy moments on film ever since she was given a camera for her eighth birthday, Mac is the photographer, happily staying in the background and focusing on her work. Marriage is not on her radar, but when brainy, surprisingly perceptive Carter Maguire accidentally barges into her life, she knows everything is about to change-if only she will let it. A conflicted heroine and a hero with hidden depths slowly work their way toward commitment (and marriage) in this tender, funny, spicy romance that is the first installment in the author's "The Bride Quartet" series. Roberts (The Pagan Stone) lives in Keedysville, MD.

An utterly delightful book that is amusing, touching and completely charming...[Roberts is] at her best in Vision in White.”—Deseret Morning News (Salt Lake City)

“Funny sparks fly…[Roberts’s] gentle humor and likable cast will immediately endear this series to readers.”—Publishers Weekly

From the Publisher

Lifelong friends Parker, Emma, Mackensie, and Laurel played "wedding" often as children—now they’re the owners of a successful wedding-planning business, "Vows." In this first installment in Roberts’s Bride Quartet, Mackensie "Mac" Elliott, the photographer of Vows, falls for Carter Maguire, a cute but clumsy English teacher. Emily Durante's enthusiastic narration style doesn't make up for her failure to distinctly portray each of the various characters, female or male. The listening experience isn't fully saved but is helped by the fascinating details Roberts supplies on the making of a perfect wedding. But, overall, result leaves the listener a little disappointed. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
