People like to mention, with every review of a book by Nora Roberts, that the author uses the same plot devices time and time again. And they're right - she does. The thing is, it works!

VISION IN WHITE might be formulaic, in that Ms. Roberts once again uses a group of friends who are as close as family who will all inevitably end up in love with another group of friends (or acquaintances), but I enjoyed the story so much and read it in one sitting.

Ms. Roberts has the unique ability that with every single book she writes (including those written as J.D. Robb), I end up crying at least once. This one is no different - I thought the story of Mac having to deal with her mother was very well-written.

I enjoyed the new "background" of this first book in the quartet, in that it centers around four friends who own a business that covers each and every detail of having a wedding. This book's main character, Mac, is a photographer, and I truly enjoyed reading about her job and how she came to love what she does.

The secondary characters - Parker, Emma, Laurel - were all well-rounded, and I'm highly looking forward to reading each of their stories.

So, okay, it's another typical Nora Roberts read. But I couldn't be happier about that.

I just finished reading this and truly enjoyed it. Since I've read all her books, I found it to be predictable yet still couldn't put it down. I laughed and cried as usual. The romance between Mac and Carter was very sweet.

Wish the second book was out sooner than december, the wait is way too long! The sneak peek of Bed of Roses was a tease.

This book was pretty disappointing. I haven't read all of Nora Roberts' books, but the ones I have I couldn't put down. This book was ok, but there was nothing there that really truly drew me in or interested me. I felt like all the stuff with the wedding planning was filler and there was just too much focus on the main character's job. Overall, this book is ok, but not one of Nora's best.

One of the worst Nora books ever. I am a hugh fan of hers and will no longer buy her books. Such a shame.....
Hopefully someone else will enjoy this book bacause I sure didn't

This was a wonderful and easy book to read. The main character had some depth, and I love that this is the first of a four book series, so I'll get to spend more time with the characters I came to like.

Classic Nora Roberts - just enough tension, not too much, not too little.

I don't usually read this type of book, but I completely enjoyed this wonderful book. A very easy read and it totally kept my attention until the end. Total chick lit.

Nora Roberts is one of my all time favorite authors. This book did not disappoint. I can't wait for the next book. I was a little confused at the very beginning but by the 2nd chapter, I was hooked & couldn't put the book down. Four childhood girlfriends grew up playing Wedding Day. Now as adults, they run Vows, their wedding planning business on the family estate of Parker Brown who is the manager of their business. Laurel is the baker, Emma is the florist & Mackensie is the wedding photographer. She captures happy moments in a families life like she never had. Her father walked out when she was a child & remarried quickly. Her mother has married & divorced several times & Mac has a half-brother & a half-sister she rarely sees. Her mother is totally engrossed in herself & expects Mac to finance her whims. Vows reputation has grown during the 5 years in business. Mackensie (Mac) is a well-known wedding photographer with bridal magazine covers to her name. She lives upstairs in the remodeled pool house & has her studio on the first floor. During a wedding consultation, she reconnects with Carter Maguire, a high school mate, who had a crush on her but was too shy to do anything about it. He is an English teacher at the local academy and still in love with Mac. He is totally there for her & it scares the daylights out of her. The 4 friends are totally there for each other & they help Mac through each crisis until she makes a decision about her relationship with Carter.

I'm usually a Nora Roberts fan. But, this book didn't always hold my attention. The premise is good...four good gal friends start up a wedding business called VOWS. One is the baker, another the flower arranger, the third is a photographer and the last is the organizer. This was book one of the "Bride Quartet." I guess we'll take close look into the life of each friend in a different book in the series.

This book was primarily centered around Mackensie...the photographer. I thought the shop talk was a little overdone and had a tendency to slow down the plot from unfolding. Also, I got tired of the abbreviated terms (MOB - Mother of the Bride, etc.) and all the details that we had to endure to get through a wedding that the group had organized. And I haven't even touched on what we had to listen to as far as Mac with her photography supplies, finishing the pics, some of her great pic ideas, etc.

This was supposed to be a love story between Mac and a guy from highschool that had a crush on her. This really didn't have time to develop because of all the other stuff that was going on in the book. I also got tired of hearing about Mac's temper tantrums, snits and outbursts. She definitely wouldn't be on my list of close friends!!

I'm looking forward to the next book, due out in December 2009. My thought is that it can only get better....

Wow! This is an exciting new series from Nora Roberts. It showcases four women who have maintained a strong friendship since childhood and now run a wedding planning business together. I finished the first book in short order but now have to wait until the second in the series is published. It's not due out until December.

I really enjoyed this book about balancing your career and having a romantic relationship. It is a fun love story as well as a warm story about women's friendships with one another. I look forward to the second book coming out in December 2009.

Vision in White is Nora Robert's typical romance. As always her books are page turners that cannot be put down. I am looking forward to the next book in the quartet.

Another Roberts' winner - loved the book!

this was a very nice story and a good kick-off to the series.

This is the first book in The Bride Quartet series and tells the story of Mackensie "Mac" Abbott and Carter Maguire. Mac is one of four women who run Vows, a wedding planning company.

This book was just great. It was lively, interesting and romantic. I half fell in love the the Carter, the "Guy" in the book. He was so sweet but strong. I want a man like that!! LOL...Anyway was a great read and i can't wait to read the next one..

Shallow

A fun, interesting story. Looking forward to book 2 coming out!

Loved it! Great, quick flowing story! I didn't want to put it down.

Love this story. Its fresh, even though, like other NR books, it follows a group. Really liked the devlopment of the characters. Great read.

What can I say it is Nora Roberts. Great introduction to a new series. This time instead of a trilogy, it is a quartet. The heroine is a photographer and the hero not an stong alpha but more realistic. I really enjoyed the book and waiting for the rest of the series.
