What's a dedicated bachelor doing at a week-long society wedding celebration? Doug Llewellyn is being bored out of his skull
until a beautiful, unknown woman calls him "darling," then plants a big wet kiss on him. Suddenly boredom is no longer Doug's problem.
Rosie Kilgannon, she of the big wet kiss, is also a guest at the wedding, and although she's used Doug as a way to escape an amorous admirer, that kiss was really something else! Why not enjoy each other for the week, no strings attached?
Which might have worked, if not for the weeping bride, the suspiciously shifty groom, the neurotic wedding planner and the fact that True Love often sneaks up on the unwary and belts them right in the chops!

I really enjoyed this one. Rosie and Doug are stuck at a week-long society wedding celebration, and quickly decide to dump the dates they're being set up with by a meddling relative. Rosie and Doug have no other choice than to stick together, and the sparks fly between our hero and heroine. Between sparkling, funny dialogue and scorching love scenes, a great time is had by all!
I've already recommended this book to others, and look forward to reading it again.

Elusive bachelor Doug reluctantly attends his cousin Lilibeth's weeklong celebration leading up to her nuptials. It is guaranteed to be the social event of the decade, if his scheming Aunt Bette has anything to say about it. He manages to make friends with feisty Rosie, and the two decide to be each other's paramour to keep hopeless matchmaker Aunt Bette from trying to make a love connection for each of them.
Toss in a bride that spends the majority of her time in her room crying; a family-less groom who doesn't seem to have much interest in his bride-to-be; a horny mother of the bride who beds down half the wedding band; a father of the bride who'd rather be on the golf course; and a wedding planner who'll have a nervous breakdown any second, and you have the makings of a comical week spent with some pretty colorful characters.
Michaels tries once again to go for the laughs in this sequel to "Stuck in Shangri La," but oftentimes the comedy falls flat. The overpopulated story is saved by the primary couple - two confirmed singles that cannot help but fall for each other.
