Jaclyn Wilde is a wedding planner who loves her job—usually. But helping Carrie Edwards with her Big Day has been an unrelenting nightmare. Carrie is a bridezilla of mythic nastiness, a diva whose tantrums are just about as crazy as her demands. But the unpleasant task at hand turns seriously criminal when Carrie is brutally murdered and everyone involved with the ceremony is accusing one another of doing the deed.The problem is, most everyone—from the cake maker and the florist to the wedding-gown retailer and the bridesmaids’ dressmaker—had his or her own reason for wanting the bride dead, including Jaclyn. And while those who felt Carrie’s wrath are now smiling at her demise, Jaclyn refuses to celebrate tragedy, especially since she finds herself in the shadow of suspicion.Assigned to the case, Detective Eric Wilder finds that there’s too much evidence pointing toward too many suspects. Compounding his problems is Jaclyn, with whom he shared one deeply passionate night before Carrie’s death. Being a prime suspect means that Jaclyn is hands-off just when Eric would rather be hands-on. As the heat intensifies between Eric and Jaclyn, a cold-blooded murderer moves dangerously close. And this time the target is not a bride but one particularly irresistible wedding planner, unaware of a killer’s vow.

Veil of Night by Linda Howard The first time I picked up a Linda Howard book, the experience didn't go well for me. But I don't like to blow off an author completely until I'm sure I will, one hundred percent, never read said author again. Because in spite of the crazy chaos of the first Linda H...
I tend to love or hate Linda Howard novels. She writes either a strong, clever, kick-ass female character or a simpering, woe-is-me, washrag of a female character. There are few "in-betweens" for me with this author. That being said, this is an "in-between" story.I liked the story. I really did - it...
An entertaining romantic suspense that started out slow but once the action got going it really picked up. I thought the relationship could have had more romance but overall it was a good read. Wedding planner Jacyln is fired by bridezilla who turns up dead and detective Eric is assigned to the cas...
This one was nearly a 4, the couple in this story sparked off each other well, but in some ways it felt a bit rushed, still a good story. Jaclyn Wilde is an event planner, mostly weddings and one of her weddings is with a bride who isn't much liked, when that bride turns up dead after an argument J...
Pretty good though not my fave from Howard. I felt it all wrapped up a little to easily
