Family Wedding (Silhouette Special Edition) [Paperback]

Angela Benson (Author)

Book Description

Series: Silhouette Special Edition | Publication Date: January 1, 1997

What was a marriage of convenience?

Little Wendy Sanders needed a new mommy, and her hunky single dad, Kenny, could sure use a wife. So why not Wendy's 'Aunt' Patsy Morgan, who gave good girl talk and dressed real cool? After all, Patsy was Kenny's best buddy—practically family already.

Hurray! Kenny proposed. And Patsy devoted herself to motherhood. But Wendy was confused. Shouldn't mommies and daddies share a bed? And shouldn't they kiss each other all the time? Wendy hoped her mommy and daddy would hurry up and learn what even a kid could see: theat they were made for each other and madly in love!

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Wendy needs a mommy, and who would be better for the job than her Aunt Patsy, a longtime family friend and her daddy's best friend from childhood? But while the resulting marriage-in-name-only creates a family for Wendy, it causes nothing but tension and frustration for Kenny and Patsy as they struggle with their feelings for each other and ghosts from their past. A pair of well-matched if prickly protagonists and nicely handled sexual tension are plusses in a story that, despite minimal cultural emphasis, should please readers who like their romances warm, family-centered, and relationship-focused. Benson has written a number of earlier African American romances (e.g., The Way Home, Arabesque: Pinnacle, 1997).

5.0 out of 5 stars Friendship Turns Into an Eternal Love, June 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Family Wedding (Silhouette Special Edition) (Paperback)

Patsy is shocked when her life-long frined Kenny asks her to marry him for the sake of his daughter. Kenny's wife died several years earlier and his daughter wanted a mommy like her other friends.

Patsy had been hurt in a previous marriage, but she always loved Kenny. Kenny didn't realize how precious Patsy had been to him. He was fighting the feelings he still had for his dead wife and the ones he had for Patsy.

This was a warm story of love and family. Ms. Benson always writes a good story no matter the plot.
