Dream Wedding

"The Dream Wedding" is another of Rodgers' books that demonstrates her amazing ability to create a moving love story and a very intricate mystery in a mere 250 pages. The opening was a little hokey, but after that, the book took off and never let up. Trying to figure out the mystery of Brianna's past takes them all over the country, sorting through conflicting stories in a twisting tale that is impossible to figure out ahead of time. But it's the investment that Rodgers places in her characters that makes you care about the mystery. Michael and Brianna are two real people who totally come to life and who are definitely worth rooting for. One moment they share over a yearbook picture when they make a crucial discovery had me near tears--the appropriateness of Michael's response to Brianna was simply perfect. No mystery or romance fan could possibly be disappointed with this book. It has it all. The best Intrigue of 1997.
