Review, September 30, 2008
This review is from: Addicted to Love (Wedding Veil Wishes) (Mass Market Paperback)
You know the saying "Fool me once, shame on you; Fool me twice, shame on me." Well Rachael Henderson is really familiar with it. She had been left at the altar twice now! Watch out as Rachael is out for revenge and what better place to get your revenge then Rachael's hometown... Valentine, Texas. A town full of romantics and believers of true love. The last person Rachael expected to see what Sheriff Brody Carlton. Rachael's first crush.
Sheriff Brody Carlton gets called out because someone is defacing Valentine's famous red lipped billboard. When Brody arrives at the scene, he can't believe his eyes. He finds a woman wearing a wedding dress painting the lips black. Rachael wants to help the people of Valentine, so she creates Romanceaholics Anonymous. So people don't like Rachael coming in and stirring up things. Before you know it the residents of Valentine are divided.
The witty banter that transpired amongst Rachael and Brody had me smiling the whole way through the book. I liked reading Lori Wilde's latest release Addicted to Love. It was an upbeat, sweet romantic book. Addicted to Love is part of the Wedding Veil Wishes series. Addicted to Love is the first book I have read in this series by Lori Wilde but it sure won't be the last one I read. I hope to eventually see Rachael, Brody and the rest of the townsfolk's of Valentine, Texas again.

Too Much, February 9, 2009
This review is from: Addicted to Love (Wedding Veil Wishes) (Mass Market Paperback)
While I found this book well written, I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped. It was my first book by Lori Wilde and I'm not sure if I will read another.
I liked Brody and Rachael and thought they had good chemistry but there was too much going on and not enough focus on their relationship. Which is what I like best in my romance novels. I like a good secondary romance if it adds something to the story but this was like three stories stitched together in one. Four if you count Rachael's new career path and her Romanceaholic Anonymous meetings.
Not only was this book about Brody and Rachael, it was about her parents Selina and Michael (they just frustrated me to no end) and Kelvin and Giada. It also took place over the course of a year.
Overall, it was well written but it moved along slowly for me and didn't focus enough on the relationship between the main characters.

Fall In Love, December 8, 2008
This review is from: Addicted to Love (Wedding Veil Wishes) (Mass Market Paperback)
Valentine, Texas is the place you want to go to when you're in the mood for love and romance. Well maybe not everyone comes to Valentine for love, Rachael Henderson came for revenge. Revenge on a local landmark, and a town that professed love at every turn. Rachael had just been left at the alter, again, and was on a mission to prove that love is not all sparkles, glitter and fairy tales. In the middle of her graffiti work, the local sheriff pulls up and is ready to take her in as his prisoner. Rachael remembers this man from her childhood, he was the first man to ever break her heart at the tender age of seven, and then his family moved away. That all too familiar tingly feeling shot right through her, but she was tired of these so called loves... she wanted the great love. And Brody didn't give it to her back then, but things change right? Only he didn't want to fall in love either.
Brody Carlton, was injured in Iraq, now an amputee with his new mechanical knee he found himself climbing 40 feet up in the air to drag down the grown-up Rachael Henderson. From the moment he laid eyes on her it was magic, but he was still torn up over his divorce over two years ago and has been pretty much celibate ever since. He knew what Rachael needed, he just didn't think he could give her all she desired. But he could give her a good romp in the hay so to speak. It seemed that the moment Rachael rolled into town she brought out the worst in the people in Valentine, but she also started an origination called Romanceaholics Anonymous, helped in the politics and not to mention she was offered a pretty exciting job writing a column for a well known magazine. With the good comes the bad... but with Brody by her side and always in her thoughts she could make it through anything. No matter how badly she didn't want to love this man, she couldn't help it... they both needed a little intervention and the Judge would see to that.
Addicted to Love by Lori Wilde is candy coated, pink fuzzies, and all that other girly mushy love stuff. It was a phenomenal read with real characteristics, loveable characters and that touch of something special that every woman wants when she reads a romance novel. Lori Wilde has done a spectacular job with Addicted to Love, she shows that no matter how badly you're hurt, that it is always possible to find that once in a lifetime great love. If you're into Happily Ever After's, then you'll fall in love with this book. 5 Hearts
