Book Description

September 30, 2003
He may turn out to be the best gift she has ever received. . . SHE WAS READY TO TIE THE KNOT.
NOW SHE’S FIT TO BE TIED.

Texas heiress Vivienne Stansfield’s dream of being a bride was about to come true. But in a startling change of fortune, her safe, reliable fiancé proves himself to be neither–and her wealthy, eccentric father disappears, leaving her with no money, no explanation, and no choice but to find a job. Determined to prove that she isn’t the pampered princess the tabloids say she is, she seeks the position of nanny for sexy real estate mogul Max Landry’s young sisters. With to-die-for clothes and a heart as pure as her gold charm bracelet, Vivi steps up to the challenge. But how to resist her irresistible employer?

Max needs a nanny. But the last person he wants is a knockout who doesn’t know the first thing about taking care of herself, much less two young girls. But once she arrives, he learns that there is more to Vivi than her short skirts and high heels imply. And when she asks Max to teach her about the game of life and passion, this strong-willed man realizes that he wants to play for real, for keeps–and he has no intention of losing this woman’s surprisingly fragile heart.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

When Vivienne's father disappears with all their money, she turns to Maxwell for help, and against his better judgment, he gives her a job as nanny to his two youngest sisters. Despite being engaged, Vivienne finds herself drawn to him, and he to her. Anxious to prove that she is not a pampered princess, she soon has his house running like clockwork and is working to earn the trust of his sisters. When her engagement is terminated, little stands in the way of a relationship with Max except for old myths and disappointments. Getting past these, as well as the return of both of her absent, divorced parents, and the discovery that Max has a secret box of news clippings about her, is difficult, but they finally make it. Initially it seems as though Lee should have continued writing elegant Victorian historicals, but what at first seems forced turns into a wonderful story of two lonely people meant for each other.

4.0 out of 5 stars From princess to pauper..., May 31, 2005
By 
This review is from: The Wedding Diaries (Mass Market Paperback)
Vivienne is about to marry Grady, but discovers that he has eyes for someone a female attorney he works with, so they part amicably. She then discovers that her daddy has run off with her inheritance, leaving her to fend for herself, and stuck with all the bills.

She suddenly finds herself without a home, car, credit cards, man, or prospects for a job. Real estate mogul Max accidentally offers her a job as a nanny for his two sisters, which she quickly accepts. Soon, Vivienne has wooed his entire family, including his surly teenage sister, Nicky.

Vivienne has never really been in love; her relationship with Grady was based on societal concerns. Plus, she has never really known if men have liked her for herself or her fortune. Max has been nursing a crush on Vivienne since he was 10 and she was 6; will he finally get the chance to explore his feelings for her?

Lee cleverly uses Vivienne's unused Wedding Diary for her personal revelations which aid the progression of the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars from the BestWeddingSites.com editor, March 5, 2004
This review is from: The Wedding Diaries (Mass Market Paperback)
A DELIGHTFULLY ROMANTIC STORY - you will fall in love with the characters.

Linda Francis Lee has an amazing writing style, she definitely knows how to grab the readers attention and keeps you interested throughout the entire story. I even found myself reading the book while stirring dinner on the stove, as I didn't want to put the book down. Luckily nothing got burnt :)

And the ending of the book is absolutely wonderful. A perfect story for all you romantics.

This review is from: The Wedding Diaries (Mass Market Paperback)
The Wedding Diaries by Linda Francis is a rich girls becomes poor story - but finds love. This was a nice happy quick read with some great romantic moments. If you are looking for a nice beach read I would pick this up. If you enjoy this genre, I would also suggest, Flirting with Danger by Suzanne Enoch, Crazy For You by Kate Angell and `Saving Allegheny Green' by Lori Wilde, See Jane Score by Rachel Gibson and `Underfoot' by Leanne Banks
