Mac’s manipulative mother and Mac’s struggles with the concept of “happily ever after” actually being a goal she can achieve, are realistic and well-written, giving the story some meat without making it one of those long, irritating, internal dialogues of the Woe is me variety.Īll of Roberts’s characters are just plain likable. Roberts does a really great job of creating couples with a lot of chemistry, and just enough challenges in their relationship to keep things interesting while not bogging the story down with nothing but angst. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire tale, and Mac’s love interest, Carter, is as adorable as they come. Each book begins with a little prologue, giving us a glimpse into the childhood of these friends, and Mac’s book begins with the moment in which she realized photography was her passion.
They’re sappy, but in a super fun and happy way. Each of the books, of course, focuses on a different member of the quartet, and, in the course of a year, each of the women find true love. All four of them live on the estate – Mac in the old poolhouse (now a studio downstairs and apartment upstairs), Emma in the old guesthouse (which now has a workspace downstairs as well), and Laurel and Parker each in a different wing of the mansion. These stories begin after the women have been in business together for several years. Conveniently, each of the women is interested in a different area: Mac loves photography Emma loves flowers Laurel loves to bake and Parker loves to organize. When Parker’s parents died, the friends bonded together and opened their own business using Parker’s estate – they started a wedding planning company called Vows. The series focuses on four women who have been friends since childhood: Mackenzie, Emma, Laurel, and Parker. These weren’t really books of great depth, but if you are looking for something that’s rather like delicious hot chocolate (with real whipped cream) in book form, these should fit the bill. I enjoyed it so much that I blew through the next three of the series: Bed of Roses, Savor the Moment, and Happy Ever After.
My sister had picked up Vision in White at a book sale for a quarter, so I stole it. When life gets busy and chaotic, I find myself looking for something relaxing to read.
