I thought this was a very enjoyable read and frankly quite easy to get in to. I likeed how Tamalyn wasn't just an easy walk over and I thought the interaction between her and the lead male character was witty and in some cases quite touching.
When Tamalyn Haynes agrees to be a bridesmaid she doesn't realise she will be dancing with the devil in the form of one of her best friends brothers and quite a reputation he does have.
Fletcher is relentless in pursuing his desires - and intent on bedding inexperienced Tammy. But he has one condition, seduction is all he is willing to offer, he doesn't want a wife.

Lack of communication
27 Mar 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I felt supremely frustrated by this book. The main problem between the hero, Fletcher, and the heroine, Tammy, was a complete lack of communication, and not just the typical Harlequin there's this one thing (s)he can't know because... (insert generally inane reason here). This was an honest to god they could not have a healthy conversation to save their lives, or, more to the point, their relationship. Tammy never tells Fletcher what she wants. She tells him what she doesn't want, and she internal monologues incessantly, but the words never make it out of her mouth. They never even almost come out of her mouth. Fletcher also has communication issues, but not to the extant that Tammy does. The other big problem I had was with Tammy's "friendships". Tammy has five best friends and they all are bridesmaids at each others' weddings. However, I really felt that the friendships were extremely underdeveloped. I can't tell you the names of the friends, or even any distinguishing characteristics. Tammy tells Fletcher that their friendships are not based on a mutual desire to get married or on men, but that is all they talk about. I understand this is a romance novel, and as such deals with relationships, but while it finds the time to talk about all of the male counterparts' careers, the women don't really mention their own careers at all- unless it's in relation to how they met their man. Fails the Bechdel test to an absurd degree. Also- they are supposed to be BEST friends, and Tammy doesn't tell them about what's going on in her life at all. But she has serious problems with communication, as discussed above.

Charming read
10 Feb 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
This was a charming , easy read, one that impresses you with its simplicity of plot and depth of feeling. It includes the unfurling of a love match, from one wedding to another of a group of close knitted friends. I particularly liked the fact that you live the story of all friends and do not have to read their stories in separate books, since sometimes you can miss on one of them and spoil the collection. It also gave me an insight into the difficulties of specially gifted people, who though extremely intelligent and/ or rich are cast aside or misunderstood. These people might seem to have everything yet can be very lonely and once they give their heart, it is a forever affair. Lucky those who get their love.

Three Cheers for Emma Darcy
27 Aug 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I've always been a huge fan of Emma Darcy and out of all the stories she has ever written, this one truly made my hour in reading. (I'm a voracious and fast reader, I can't help it!)
Tamalyn meets Fletcher at a friend's wedding and there is an instant connection. Warned off by her friend, who just so happens to be Fletcher's sister, Tamalyn is intrigued. Her friend tells her that Fletcher is a boy genius and a loner, who just happens to have made an incredible fortune from his intelligence. He has a predilection for models. From there, it seems like a rocky start and it is - Fletcher wants more from her physically, but Tamalyn isn't willing to give it. They meet again at yet another of her friend's wedding where they hit it off, proving that lightning strikes twice, and are able to go further along than at the previous wedding where they first met - she nursed a drunken relative, thus eliminating any time to be spent between them. They meet again at a third wedding of another friend of hers. They realize that what they have between them is something they both want to pursue. Ultimately, Fletcher and Tamalyn go away on vacation together, but at the end of the vacation, break up. Tamalyn discovers she's pregnant, he marries her...and the book continues to soar from there.
The whole theme of the book centers around weddings, the eventual outcome between two people who love each other. It is also about strong friendships.
What I truly enjoyed about this book was not only the banter, but the way Ms. Darcy was able to progress from first meeting to two years later. I loved how the characters evolved and interacted. I loved the fact that Tamalyn had strong friendships to support her in her trying times. I liked that the book had the right balance between the relationship of the hero and heroine along with the relationships between her friends. What more could a girl want than a wonderful husband, a beautiful family, fabulous friends and a lifestyle one would envy? This wasn't an over the top melodramatic piece of HP and frankly, it felt like an anomaly - but a good one!
The romance and the relationship blossomed and was paced in such a way that it was believable and non-contrived. It doesn't feel like anything was rushed; it was incredibly well-paced and definitely one story I would be more than happy to keep in my collection of books.
Even though Ms Darcy has been writing for HP for quite a while, her voice remains fresh and current. Her plots don't have that standard, "I'm a virgin that loses it to an alpha male" schtick. That gets old. Fast. Some of her stories have had that, but what I enjoy is that the 'virgin' theme isn't always in every single one of her books (like it is for some other HP authors), but she can write her heroines as also being more experienced, yet credible.
Thanks, Emma Darcy for writing such a [...] novel. :) I have actually never had a book in the Presents line truly appeal to my heart the way this one did.
