Sweet and Enchanting, April 29, 2000
Susan Fox is a wonderful writer whose stories are heartwrenching and heartwarming. I love the way she explores the emotions of the characters which touches my heart. Here, two tormented souls found peace and happiness through misunderstanding and understanding. Rye Parrish and Lillian Renard came from totally different backgrounds. He was a wealthy, rugged Texas rancher while she was a rich, dainty and refined NY socialite but they both suffer from the same pains and hurts -- starvation from love and affection and abandonement by their mothers. They met under strange circumstances. Lillian was ordered by her autocratic grandmother to go to Texas to break up the impending marriage of Rye's brother,Chad with her wayward sister, Rachel. Rye wanted the same thing. He had an undisguised contempt for rich, spoilt, pampered socialites because his mother was one who heartlessly abandoned her family for the selfish pursuit of personal pleasures. Thus, he was boorish, rude and hostile to the reserved, timid, cultured and delicately pretty Lillian from the start. The hilarious rattlesnake episode brought their mutual attraction into the open. He was so ruggedly handsome, virile and male while she was so sweet, gentle and femininely soft. Then gradually, he discovered Lillian was not what he thought to be. The feelings of tenderness and protectiveness she aroused in him changed their relationship and he fell in love. Now, Lillian's grandmother was bent on nipping the romance in the bud. The rest is for readers to find out.

A Wedding in the Family, November 28, 2007
Awesome! I love to read Susan Fox; very rarely am I disappointed. This book is very emotional. I know I will reread it again and again throughout the years. The scene where Lilly and Rachel, her sister, finally see each other after Lilly arrives is powerful. I wanted to punch Rachel for Lilly! A three hanky read for sure. Get it, you will not be disappointed. Sassy

A Wedding in the Family, March 5, 2005
Back cover reads: Sister of the bride! Lillian has a mission: to stop her wayward sister's wedding! Not only will her grandmother cut both sisters off without a penny if it goes ahead...but Rachel is also about to marry into the family of Texan rancher Rye Parrish. And he's just about the most self-satisfied, egotistical man Lilly has ever met! Rye is equally determined to stop the wedding. Only he's too proud to cooperate with Lilly. Just because she's heart-stoppingly pretty, that doesn't mean she isn't a spoiled little rich girl, just like her sister! Except, somehow, Lilly is beginning to seem a lot like his ideal woman, after all...
