THE BRIDE'S BOUQUET

The seductress!

Star Flower: She's cynical about marriage. No man really wants to be tied down. What he wants is fun without responsibility.

Kyle Henderson: He's opposed to sex without emotional commitment. So just why is he accepting dinner with Star? It's obvious she sees him as a challenge, but he mustn't let himself be seduced.

Star's frustrated that Kyle won't let her get too close. Is it because he's her temporary boss, or is he holding out for the one thing she is not prepared to give him—love?

THE BRIDE'S BOUQUET

One wedding—one bouquet—leads to three new trips to the altar

2.0 out of 5 stars Penny Jordan wraps up her Bride's Bouquet trilogy with TOO WISE TO WED?, September 10, 2007

This review is from: Too Wise To Wed? (The Bride's Bouquet) (Harlequin Presents, Vol 1895) (Mass Market Paperback)

A spunky public relations rep looking for just sex sets her sights on a handsome consultant who doesn't believe in casual relationships. Jordan comes up with an interesting conflict which loses power [in my opinion]due to inconsistent characterization.

4.0 out of 5 stars believable character growth, September 6, 2011

This review is from: Too Wise To Wed? (The Bride's Bouquet) (Harlequin Presents, Vol 1895) (Mass Market Paperback)

Sexually-forward & career-oriented 25yo heroine tries to seduce attractive Hero but fails as Hero as sees through her power play. He confronts her about her fears but she defensively attacks his manhood & hoped to avoid him. But she soon finds out that she'll be working under him & he happens to rent the apartment next door to her. Heroine continues to use her wiles on him but he keeps responding differently than expected. She finds herself falling for him & is panicked by it. How can heroine trust herself with Hero?

I was leery when this book started b/c I thought heroine seemed too defensive about sexual equality & seemed sexually promiscuous. But I warmed up to her as Jordan unfolded her hidden depths. Hero was a good pair for her. He was well-individuated & knew himself pretty well to not be manipulated by heroine's one-upmanship games. I liked that he wasn't a man-ho & was actually still good friends with his 2 long-term girlfriends. He had a strong moral fortitude & didn't compromise his goals. He was looking for his true love & didn't give in to heroine's seductions as tempted as he was. Hero used his poor childhood history to understand where heroine was coming from. Unlike heroine he chose not be a victim of his bad childhood & was able to have compassion for his imperfect parents. Heroine was more emotionally immature. Hero gently confronts her on it & loves her anyway. He challenged her to grow up & she did. Her growth wasn't sudden & that made it believable. Sexual chemistry & sex scenes were good especially since it displayed the emotional progress of their r/s. What was just a mingling of bodies for heroine became an intimate connection b/w her & Hero.

Recommended.
