Savor the Moment / Nora Roberts

Savor the Moment (The Bride Quartet, book 3) by Nora Roberts. 335 p.

La Nora's (yes, that's what people call her in romance circles online) latest. This 4-book series features four women who've been friends from childhood. Now they run a high-end wedding planning service: a photographer, a florist, a baker/caterer, and an overall planner/coordinator. Naturally, each of them is finding Mr. Right. Book 3, here, was about the baker, and it was...competent, but kinda dull. There's no real character conflict, so the book meanders a bit. It's fine, but it won't end up being one of my favorite Noras. And actually, the whole wedding-planning aspect kind of annoys me; these are of course very high-end weddings, and the conspicuous consumption and planning of minute details (the cake and the dress and the flowers have to have a THEME, and they all have to COORDINATE, and....) around every ceremony makes me say "ick," because that's just not my thing. Clearly these books would be more fun for people who enjoy mentally planning the perfect wedding.
