The author certainly has a way about writing that convinced me in just over 300 pages that Winnifred Gardner would be making a mistake marrying Paul. He was always neat, well-dressed and articulate; but his life revolved around analysis and computer programming.

Winnie is a practical, athletic woman who happens to be a physical therapist. Shes deeply committed to her work and understands that she needs to use exercise to deal with the stressors of her job and life. Winnie and Paul are finishing wedding details for their marriage in 3 months.

Sandy, Winnies best friend, has chosen Winnie for her maid of honor. At the wedding rehearsal, Winnie meets one of their friends, the best man Joseph Duggan. They are immediately interested in each other; but Winnie quickly warns Joseph that shes engaged to another.

I would have liked to have known more about Winnies mother; this just so wedding was important to her because of her history. I was thinking that Winnie was dragging her feet but her mother had her own agenda, which made it hard for Winnie to talk with her.

Once the reader begins the story, it is obvious what the destination will be. However, LaVyrle Spencer has the talent to convince the reader that the journey will be worth it. A wonderful story that is quick to read (because it is hard to put down).
