Book Description

1 Nov 2000
Austin Randolph Jamison, Ninth Duke of Bradford, met the uncanny beauty at the ball at Bradford Hall. And from that first moment, he was stunned. How could this unsophisticated female, who climbed trees in a ball gown to rescue a kitten, know secrets that could ruin his family and speak of danger that threatened them all? Who was she, this American bluestocking who knew too much, whose innocence shone in her eyes even as her full lips tempted sin? Suddenly the duke knew he could not afford to let her go.

Some called it a gift. To Elizabeth Matthews, however, her visions were a responsibility that bound her to protect others from danger, no matter that the gossipmongers whispered she was chasing the duke to the altar. She vowed to use her powers to protect Austin at any cost, reckless of the passions that drove her into his arms, the need that made her his bride, never expecting her marriage to turn into a love match that would become the ton's most delicious scandal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to put down and makes you want to smile 5 Feb 2001
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is one of those books that once you make up your mind to buy, neither will you change it nor will you regret buying it (which is what obviously happened to me). I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, especially because it was a light romantic comedy and makes you forget about your worries for a while. The way Austin and Elizabeth meet and their meetings after that are delightful and make you laugh out loud. Robert is a lovable character you would love to have around you (and I for one would love for there to be a book about him). Miles and Caroline - they are quite a pair. Towards the end it is a bit sad and makes you feel for both Austin and Elizabeth, and it is finished off quite well indeed. Jacquie has written a marvellous book and i for one will buy her other books without any doubt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic from Beginning to End 18 Sep 2000
By Marcia L. Hopkins - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Whirlwind Wedding kept me stuck like glue to my sofa for two days while I read this great new book from Jacquie D'Alessandro from cover to cover.

Austin Jamison, the hero in the book, starts out as a somewhat dark and stubborn guy with a family secret that's weighing heavily on him. It doesn't take Elizabeth Matthews, our heroine, long to start effecting Austin in ways he never thought possible.

This book has everything I look for and want in a romance novel. It has the romance, of course, but it also has mystery, a great deal of humor and a surprise ending.

Some of the funniest stuff I have read in a long time is about the kittens whose names are hysterically Gadzooks, Egad, Balderdash, Damn It All, and Bloody Hell. Ms. D'Alessandro has a fantastic sense of humor and amused me continually through the entire story.

The twist of Elizabeth having the gift of sight is an interesting twist and was used cleverly in this story. I hope we can look forward to another book about Austin's brother, Robert.

Ms. D'Alessandro's last two books, Kiss the Cook a contemporary romance and Red Roses Mean Love an historical romance, were both excellent and highly recommended. Whirlwind Wedding is better yet and I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romance, a good mystery plot and the added bonus of a good laugh out loud!

5.0 out of 5 stars A cheerful and sunny book that will make you feel good!! 19 Sep 2000
By Nes - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Whirlwind Wedding is a light Regency romance in the style of Julia Quinn. This book is so easy and fun to read you will want to finish it in one day!

Elizabeth and Austin are wonderful together. Elizabeth is fun and has a devil may care attitude. Austin is a bit arrogant but very protective and very male. They are well supported with great secondary characters. The big misunderstanding, so typical in romance, is hardly present in this lovely book. The author threw in a secondary romance as well between the sister and the best friend of Austin which gives the book a nice extra.

For Regency romance lovers who enjoy a laugh out loud read with wonderful down to earth characters, Whirlwind Wedding is a must!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better and Better 14 Sep 2000
By Marcia L. Hopkins - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Ms. D'Alessandro has written a winner with Whirlwind Wedding. Her first book, Red Roses Mean Love, was extraordinary! Her recent contemporary novel, Kiss the Cook, is a light hearted, amusing and thoroughly enjoyable story. But Whirlwind Wedding shows that Ms. D'Alessandro is indeed getting better and better with each book she writes. In WWW the main characters, Elizabeth and Austin, come to life early in the book and I found Elizabeth to be intelligent, funny and feisty. Austin is stubborn, of course, but endearing as he learns that Elizabeth is not intimidated by him or his title and isn't trying to win him over. The names for the kittens, Gadzooks, Egad, Fiddlesticks, et al... and how they came to be named is hilarious. Elizabeth and Austin have a running "language" joke (she being American, he English) that is funny, true to life and natural. Although the book is very amusing throughout, there is a fascinating mystery in the plot that kept me intrigued until the very end. Bravo Jacquie! WWW has it all, humor, mystery, great lovable characters and a surprise ending!
