A wonderful collection of Love that's not exactly American-style., August 10, 2005
This review is from: That's Amore!: Meet The Parents\I Do, Don't I?\There Goes The Groom (Signature Select) (Mass Market Paperback)
Are you ready for a great novella of love stories by today's hot romance authors? Janelle Denison, Tori Carrington and Leslie Kelly bring you a wonderful collection of Love that's not exactly American-style in That's Amore! Cultural family traditions are intertwined into each story - from a Hawaiian arranged marriage custom, to a Greek wedding and then onto a Chicago style Italian family wedding.
STORIES INCLUDE:
Meet the Parents by Janelle Denison: Leila, a hawaiian daughter is expected to marry a Hawaiian groom that her parents select for her. But, Leila has plans of her own.....and the groom is a California bad boy. Can he persuade Leila's parents that he's the one for their daughter?
I Do, Don't I? by Tori Carrington: Efi is ready to marry her childhood sweetheart Nick - in just one week. The only problem is - their families seem determined to keep them apart and turn the wedding into a Greek tragedy. Each chapter is another day leading up to the wedding day, or will there be a wedding?
There Goes the Groom by Leslie Kelly: Luke is engaged to 'a nice Italian Girl' (aka: bridezilla)...but when he ends up having to check on the wedding dress more than once (his fiancé just can't seem to make the appointments), he ends up falling for the dressmaker, Rachel, who is designing his fianceés bridal gown. The problem, he's engaged to be married and Rachel isn't Italian. What's a guy to do?
All 3 stories are linked by the online favor company [...]. There's even bonus features including a list of wedding customs and their origin, top ten lists and a GREAT bonus read!

That's Amore! is a fabulous read, May 20, 2005
This review is from: That's Amore!: Meet The Parents\I Do, Don't I?\There Goes The Groom (Signature Select) (Mass Market Paperback)
Domeafavor.com mixes up the wedding favors for three novella wedding stories in a fabulous book called, THAT'S AMORE! by Janelle Denison, Tori Carrington, and Leslie Kelley.
I loved that these stories were about family traditions during the most nerve-wracking of times...wedding preparation. Probably why I myself eloped.
From Hawaiian customs to another big fat funny Greek wedding to a Chicago styled Italian affair all three stories are steeped in tradition...and mayhem. Don't miss this one. A great summer read for all the June weddings you'll attend this year and wonder what the couple endured to say "I do".
And I also want to mention I really enjoyed the extras in the bonus section at the back of the book. Sort of like the extra DVD features I look forward to on my favorite movies.
Pick up a copy of THAT'S AMORE! and enjoy.

well written pre-wedding tales, May 4, 2005
This review is from: That's Amore!: Meet The Parents\I Do, Don't I?\There Goes The Groom (Signature Select) (Mass Market Paperback)
"Meet the Parents" by Janelle Denison. Mainlander Jason Crofton meets Hawaiian Leila Malekala while on vacation. They fall in love over the course of the next few days. However he must persuade her parents he is the one for their daughter because they expect her to wed native Kalani Pakolu and have purebred grandchildren, not hybrids from a California haole.
"I Do, Don't I?" by Tori Carirngton. In one week Efi Panayotopoulou and Nick Constaninos are to marry in a Greek wedding in Michigan. Instead of a blissful final seven days, the extended family drives Efi and Nick into reconsidering what they are getting into. Everyone is acting crazy at home, at the family owned My Big Fat Pastry Shop, and anywhere that two Greeks meet in the state especially if one is the Crete spinster.
"There Goes the groom" by Leslie Kelly. In Chicago, bridal boutique owner Rachel Grant dreams of being the bride when DA Lucas Santori says "I do"; however instead the Italian Stallion is marrying the "Nazi bride" of Taylor Ave, Maria Martinelli. Lucas has had doubts ever since Maria became "bridezilla and now that he has begun to know Rachel his reservations have grown enormously as he is attracted to her even if she fails the family ethnicity test.
Linked by the internet wedding favors firm domeafavor.com, the three stories are well written with likable lead protagonists and a wonderful horde of ethnic secondary characters. Each of the fun tale adheres to the theme of the struggles just before the vows so that readers will feel like honored guests at the nuptials.
