In this romantic romp through the Greek Isles, Carol Grace pens the delightful story of maid of honor and groom-to-be hot on the trail of a runaway bride...and quite possibly falling in love!
Jane Atwood has loved Alex Woods for years. His upcoming wedding to her best friend -- the Greek- American beauty Sofia Leonakis -- doesn't make it any easier. Nor does the Greek island setting (is there a more romantic place on earth?) or her status as maid of honor. But when Sofia and Alex have a huge fight five nights before the wedding, Sofia runs off with a mystery man and all bets are off.
Thrown together in search of the errant bride, Jane and Alex go island-hopping. Jane tries hard to keep the "honor" in maid of honor, but her attraction to Alex deepens like a Mediterranean tan. Soon, Alex sees that she's not the plain Jane he thought she was -- and that she may be his one true love. Only on the wedding day will Jane discover whether Alex is ready to say "I do" -- and to whom!
This is a quintessential beach book. A fun, quick, romantic read with a beautiful setting and a heroine to love.

Entertaining book with a beautiful setting. Would be great to read at the beach or on a weekend.

Jane Atwood has been in love with her best friends fiance since college. She introduced Alex to Sofia Leonakis and it was love at first sight. Now Jane is on her way to the Greek island Mios, she seasick and not looking forward to being the maid of honor. The last person she expects to see at that moment is Alex himself. What's the first thing she does when she sees the love of her life? She throws up on his wedding shoes of course! You would think that this would be an oman of things to come and you would be right...sort of!
Alex has not seen his good friend Jane is a very long while. She has always been a good friend and good listener and he has some things that he's trying to work through. The last thing he expects his friend Jane to do is get sick on his feet but lifes not perfect.
Once they reach the home of Sofia's parents everything goes wrong. Jane Sophia and Alex have a fight and runs off in the middle of the night. Alex and Jane set out to find the missing bride but instead find a growing attraction that neither can ignore. It's not long before Alex sees Jane as a very attractive person instead of his college friend turned CPA, who has the reputation of being able to fix anything. Jane can't believe her luck. She is falling in love with Alex all over again and this time he seems to suffering from the same problem. What will happen between them when the find Sofia?

This was the first time I read anything by this author. I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed her writing. It was fun and also interesting where she set the main local for the major part of the book. I am now looking for other books by her.
