Book Description:
From Publishers Weekly
The week-long pre-wedding house party for Doug Llewellyn's cousin Lili-beth is slated to be the social gathering of the decade-or a seven-day ordeal of shrill matchmaking and grim self-reflection, as it would seem to Doug-in this latest contemporary romance from Michaels (Stuck in Shangri-La). Handsome, intelligent, witty-and "matrimonially un-catchable,"-Doug is a successful 40-year-old Philadelphia architect dreading the tireless matchmaking efforts of Lili-beth's mother. Ditto for sassy, independent web-site designer Rosie Kilgannon. With no graceful way out, Rosie and Doug figure "us victims have to stick together," and proceed to undo Bettie's best-laid plans. Meanwhile, disaster rules at the pre-nuptial festivities: the groom is showing a dark side, Bettie is methodically bedding each of the band members, the wedding planner drinks more than she pours, and Lili-beth isn't sure she wants to get married after all. Lots of flirting, slap-stick antics and eccentric characters, including light-fingered 85-year-old Aunt Susanna and Lili-beth's secretive childhood friend Delbert, make this a cheerful, lighthearted read.

What's a dedicated bachelor doing at a week-long society wedding celebration? Doug Llewellyn is being bored out of his skull...until a beautiful, unknown woman calls him "darling," then plants a big wet kiss on him. Suddenly boredom is no longer Doug's problem.
Rosie Kilgannon, she of the big wet kiss, is also a guest at the wedding, and althought she's used Doug as a way to escape an amorous admirer, that kiss was really something else! Why not enjoy each other for the week, no strings attached?
Which might have worked, if not for the weeping bride, the suspiciously shifty groom, the neurotic wedding planner...and the fact that True Love often sneaks up on the unwary and belts them right in the chops!

Another wonderful Michaels romp- this time two marriage-phobic hotties connect at a society wedding as they try to rescue the unhappy bride-to-be.
Laugh out loud funny, warmly sexy story puts Kasey Michaels at the TOP of her game. If you need a "lift", something to remind you that no good deed goes unpunished, definitely put this one at the top of the book list.

Elusive bachelor Doug reluctantly attends his cousin Lilibeth's weeklong celebration leading up to her nuptials. It is guaranteed to be the social event of the decade, if his scheming Aunt Bette has anything to say about it. He manages to make friends with feisty Rosie, and the two decide to be each other's paramour to keep hopeless matchmaker Aunt Bette from trying to make a love connection for each of them.

This was a surprising, delightful read. I didn't set out to like this book, but it was a pleasant read and I was incredibly entertained.
Kathleen K. (Nice, light read. Hero and heroine were very likable.
This was a really run read. I've never read anything previously by this author, but I would do so again.
This really funny book takes place at a week long society wedding celebration.
A good fun read. Rosie is at a wedding and looking for a way out from the "set up" date, when she runs into Doug. From there the sparks fly as the wedding events get stranger and stranger.
Two dedicated to never marrying people meet during a wacky week of wedding events and re-think their decisions. Quirky humor with a thin plot.
