From the Author

Weddings are such a wonderful fantasy and I loved being bridesmaid so much that I really had fun with this book. I'm always delighted to hear from readers, so do drop me a note at [e-mail] --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Inside Flap

"I'LL LOOK LIKE A DUCK IN YELLOW VELVET," Daisy said.

"Probably." Robert, primed to offer at least a token contradiction, instead grinned broadly. Well, that was why he'd asked her to lunch, to cheer him up.

Daisy looked at his hand covering her own. She might love him to the very depths of her soul, but Robert wasn't a till-death-us-do-part kind of man -- and when you really loved someone, nothing less would do.

She stood up. "Next time you need a shoulder to cry on, the Yellow Pages, since you're so fond of the color."

"Oh, come on, Daisy," he said. "You wouldn't want me to lie and say that you'll look fabulous in yellow, would you? We're friends. Friends don't have to pretend."

Yes, they were friends. Best friends. And she knew that if she wanted to be a permanent part of Robert's life, that was the way it would have to stay. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

More About the Author

Reading is, and always has been, the first love of my life. Except writing.
Success came early -- I was twelve when I won an Easter egg in a hymn writing competition at school - but life intervened with my plans to become a hot shot author. The day job. Not that this was dull. I travelled to Zambia at the age of twenty where I worked as a secretary, before following my personal hero to the Middle East, Kenya, Botswana and ambition became buried in the joyful business of raising a family.

I never forgot that I was a "writer", however. I wrote children's stories for Listen With Mother. Magazines articles. Ghost stories. I was at a point where I wanted to move onto something bigger when I read a magazine piece about Charlotte Lamb and Anne Hampson and discovered, rather late in life, romantic fiction. I read everything I could lay my hands on, then, feeling certain I had a grasp of the genre, began writing. I had three rejections - I still have those letters! -- but my fourth submission became An Image of You and was published in 1992.

Since then seven of my books have been shortlisted for RWA's RITA award - two of them, THE BEST MAN & THE BRIDESMAID and THE MARRIAGE MIRACLE winning in 2001 and 2006, respectively. A FAMILY OF HIS OWN always won the RNA's Romance Prize in 2005.

My best-beloved and I are empty-nesters these days, living out in the country where excitement means a visit from the mobile shop, the travelling library, the fish man. But I'm a writer, I invent my own worlds. Once the door to the my cabin in the woods is closed I can be anywhere my imagination takes me; the desert kingdom of Ramal Hamrah, the villages of Upper Haughton, Little Hinton and Longbourne where romance is always just around the corner, or I can jet off to New York, the Mediterranean, even the Himalayas. Come and see where I'm headed next - http://www.lizfielding.com

5.0 out of 5 stars A keeper, February 2, 2001

This review is from: Best Man And The Bridesmaid - Larger Print (Larger Print, 470) (Paperback)

I thought this book was simply GORGEOUS!!!! I loved the heroine and the way she adored the hero but refused to play the girlfriend game. I really enjoyed her insecurity and "duckness' -- it was very refreshing. I could identify with this girl -- she wasn't just a standard heroine, she was an appealing character with true individuality. And the hero was gorgeous, too -- attractive, protective and just a touch myopic when it came to love. A rake tamed by love. This one of those romances which you close at the end with a big satisfied sigh! And then you read it again. A keeper.

This review is from: Best Man And The Bridesmaid (Romance, 3624) (Paperback)

Daisy Galbraith had always loved Robert Furneval, her brother's best friend. She had watched him go through relationship after relationship, determined she would stay in his life as a friend, dressing down to keep Robert from seeing her as a woman. When she is picked as bridesmaid, Robert begins to see a different person. Then Robert discovers Daisy is in love with someone and is determined to find out who.

Very nice story, a bit of froth and frolic for a lazy afternoon read. Daisy is well drawn and interesting. Robert is clueless, but he gets there.
