Product Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts invites readers to the wedding event of the year!
#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents her first trade original-a novel of love, friendship, and family-Book One in the Bride Quartet.
Wedding photographer Mackensie "Mac" Elliot is most at home behind the camera, but her focus is shattered moments before an important wedding rehearsal when she bumps into the bride-to-be's brother...an encounter that has them both seeing stars.
A stable, safe English teacher, Carter Maguire is definitely not Mac's type. But a casual fling might be just what she needs to take her mind off bridezillas. Of course, casual flings can turn into something more when you least expect it. And Mac will have to turn to her three best friends-and business partners-to see her way to her own happy ending.

 Wonderfully Sweet Story March 8, 2010
S. J. Cooper (Fairfield, CA)
You know how most romance novels are about a man who know what he wants and goes for it? He wants that woman so he goes after her? This story is like that but with a hero who has to find his footing first. Carter has loved Mac since high school and because of that she makes him nervous, happy, excited, and tongue-tied all at the same time. And I believe that's how love is supposed to be. A man who makes an idiot out of himself when trying to impress me is more endearing than one who's overly confidant and cocky. This love story is so sweet. I smiled through out the whole book and couldn't put it down all day. If you are looking for a great romance free of explosions, guns, and creepy bad guys but still filled with humor, excitment, and anticipation then this story is perfect for you!
 Vision in White was okay. March 6, 2010
Therese G. Sherburne (Deerfield, MQ)
This book was more entertainment than a learning item. It was okay. The delivery process was awful!! It took 15 days after purchase to receive it. I had ordered another item from you which I received in 3 days. I would never recommend marketplace to anyone at all.
Wonderful! March 2, 2010

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have read several Nora Roberts books and none of them even come close to this one. The story, as is all of Roberts books, is about a single character finding a surprising love and trying to deal with family and friends. The new aspect that caught me off guard was how well Roberts wrote in the wedding business. I am a huge sucker for weddings so this series is going to be one of my absolute favorites! I am so glad that this one is a quartet!

VISION IN WHITE
NORA ROBERTS
Contemporary Romance
Rating: 4 Enchantments
Mackenzie "Mac" Elliot is the wedding photographer for `Vows', the wedding planning business she runs with her three lifelong best friends. She isn't looking for a relationship at all, in fact, that's probably the last thing on Earth she wants--until she encounters Carter Maguire, the new teacher at her old high school and the brother of one of their clients.
Carter Maguire had a crush on the free spirited Mac in high school and never did anything about it. Now that they've reconnected thanks to his younger sister's wedding, he's not going to let that happen again. Recently out of a bad relationship, Carter's a little unsure in the dating department and gets help from his co-worker and friend, Bob, who isn't the best advice giver in the world. But Carter gets past the bad advice and falls--hard--for the unconventional photographer.
VISION IN WHITE is a great kick-off to Ms. Roberts' new series. I loved Mac, she's a very strong willed character, except when her mother's involved and that's where the trouble begins. Thanks to her oft married mother, Mac has a skewed view of relationships and panics when she realizes things between her and Carter may be getting more serious than what she's comfortable with. At times, I wasn't sure of Carter. I liked him well enough, and he loves Mac, but his uneasiness with how to act and date and basically woo her did get a little tedious at times, but the chemistry between the two characters is unmistakable. There are some truly great scenes in the book. One of my favorites is the meet scene between Mac and Carter, where he bops his head against the wall and she tends to him. Not to spoil it, but it's a really funny and memorable scene with some great dialogue.
Ms. Roberts lays the groundwork in VISION IN WHITE for what should be a great series. I love the backdrop of the four women running a `Vows' the wedding planning company. All four women are equally strong characters and there's already some hint of the possible men in their lives with some of the supporting cast in this book. I look forward to the second book, `Bed Of Roses', due to be released October 2009.
Nora Roberts is the author of 160 New York Times best sellers, including 23 written as J.D. Robb and one written together with J.D. Robb. Visit her online at [...]

 Skip this one unless you're planning a wedding February 24, 2010

So, so disappointing. Half this book dealt with all the details and problems that go into wedding planning. The other half dealt with a shallow, predictable romance that never contained anything that moved me. A total waste of my time; at least I checked this out at the library so I didn't waste my money.
