Marie Ferrarella does a wonderful job of enticing the reader into the lives of Grant and Cheyenne. They are a dynamic couple who just can't seem to stay away from each other no matter how hard they try. Cheyenne is a photographer who witnesses a murder. Grant ,who is a lonely millionaire, helps her ellude the murders. The two mistakenly marry during a Mardi Gras wedding ceremony. The story moves along at a great pace and keeps the reader on her toes. This is a wonderful book.

The heroine compares being at Mardi Gras to falling headfirst into a kaleidoscope. Marie Ferrarella has created a fast delightful journey through New Orleans where the reader is just as surprised as the heroine to witness a murder and to realize that what she thought was a pretend wedding when she hid in the back of the chapel is REAL and she's suddenly married to the hero.

Okay yes, I bought this book but (sigh) I found more entertainment in christian romances. Not to say that there isn't sexual "tension" or what not but...the plot was weak. The excuse for marriage barely held up and the hero...he was rich, charming, and nothing special.

Take it from me (I love sappy romances), this book draws the line at where sweet sappy romance and stall suffocating "romance". Do yourself a favor and buy a second book along with this should you decide to ignore my warnings. That way, when it disappoints you, there'll that other book to sooth you over.

I gave it 3 stars because...well, you kind of expect corniness when you buy a book from a series called "Virgin Brides"...just not this much. And the girl, her reason for being a virgin was...decidedly weak and very overlook-able if you ask me. Lastly, nothing--I mean NOTHING in this book was a surprise but at least they threw in some bit about some killer chasing after the woman...

So overall, if you can take a substantial amount of sappiness I say give this book a shoot (but admit it to no one).

I will have to admit that I really loved M.F. letter to the reader at the beginning of the story. An excellent comment on virginity. Old fashion? No, just common sense!

Well, millionaire bachelor Grand O'Hara was not into a "real" marriage - imagine his surprise when his "pretend" marriage was not just another Mardi Gras festivity.

He found that the "marriage" to shy Cheyenne Tarantino was legal and he had just met her. Could he play honeymoon with his shy, beautiful bride as nothing could be done until morning?

Cheyenne saw no reason to fall into Grant's plan as she had vowed long ago to save herself for a "real" wedding night.

Follow a really wonderful love story that makes you forget that it is only a book. That you are not really there. Ahhh!

Definitely Recommended with a couple of added pluses
