Legend claims this antique Irish wedding veil can grant your heart’s deepest desire. But be careful what you wish for… The moment Texas socialite Delaney Cartwright touches her veil, she knows she can’t go through with her wedding. And it’s not just because she envisioned a stranger’s dark eyes and irresistible lips the second her fingers touched lace. But she can’t simply call it off. This wedding to her nice, predictable childhood friend is the social event of the season (not to mention her mother would freak). So she hatches an escape plan: she’ll hire her own kidnapper. How hard could it be?
After all, she already had a practice run when she abducted her fiancé for a night of romance. Okay, so she accidentally grabbed the wrong man. It wasn’t her fault Detective Nick Vinetti with the sizzling and oddly familiar eyes and crossed her path—and looked game for all kinds of sexy fun. Now, with an altar to avoid and a cop to dream on, this runaway bride is feeling for real—and hoping a little Irish magic will unveil the true destiny of her heart.
My Thoughts
Delaney Cartwright is getting married. She has the perfect designer dress, the perfect fiancee (her childhood sweetheart) and a wedding that will be the talk of the season. After meeting with her friends for drinks and appetizers, Delaney finds the perfect wedding veil. At first, the owner of the store refuses to sell it. Legend has it that the veil will grant your wishes but it has a history of backfiring. Delaney is very insistent and a small fortune later, gets her way.
Detective Nick Vinetti is getting over a gunshot wound and has just left Dr. Van Zandt's office. Nick is frustrated because the good Doctor won't clear him for duty and plans to make him wait for a month before he has another appointment. But his bad day just got better, when a beautifully woman attempts to kidnap him. Now he can't get the beauty out of his mind. When he shows up at his grandmothers house and the woman is there he really believes in fate--until he hears that she's engaged to his doctor.
This is probably the most delightfully, frothy romance I've read in a long time. There is lots of twist and turns - kidnapping, blackmail, match-making grandmother, magic antique Irish wedding veil and some great heat with the two main characters. The plot is well written and very entertaining and the characters are real and believable.
Wilde also includes a great cast of characters from the meddling grandmother to the high strung society parents. Adding little subplots to the story gave it added dimensions that charmed and gave the story all the more color.
A fantastic book that should not be missed!
