Chelsea Spencer's grandfather put a codicil in his will concerning his grandchildren. Upon their marriages, they will inherit part of his estate. Chelsea doesn't want to get married, but she is in dire need of money to keep her business afloat. That is why when her groom left a voicemail saying that he met someone else, Chelsea needs to find herself another groom in time for this weekend's wedding. The candidate at the top of her list is Johnny Anziano, the guy who asked her out after rescuing her from being mugged yesterday. Now she just needs to call him up and ask him if he is busy this weekend.

This is a category romance from the 90s and feels dated. I liked that Chelsea told him why she needed to get married and offered to pay him a portion of her inheritance. And I really liked Johnny who was such a nice guy and totally head over heels in love with Chelsea. I didn't like that Chelsea kept going on and on about how she never wanted to get married. Then when she decides that she is in love with Johnny, she would not tell him because he could never love her. Ugh. Well, it was a quick read with a happy ending, so I was happy with that. My rating: 3 Stars.
