Synopsis

When writer-for-hire Jaine Austen signs on to script vows for the ultimate Bridezilla, "I do's" soon become "I wish I hadn't's"—and curtains for the bride spell a veil of woes for Jaine . . .

Jaine's accepted her share of lame gigs to pay the bills, but rewriting Shakespeare's got to be an all-time low. The fiasco begins with a call from Jaine's high-school nemesis, uber rich uber witch Patti Devane. It seems Patti will soon be sashaying down the aisle with another former classmate from Hermosa High, and she'd like the exchange of vows to evoke Romeo and Juliet . . . except without the "downer" of an ending.

Even worse than the assignment itself is dealing with Patti as a client. At least Jaine's not alone, as nobody can stand the demanding, spoiled, and incredibly rude Bridezilla from Hell. Patti's managed to rack up an amazingly long list of enemies in a short time, not the least of whom include her prospective mother-in-law, the soon-to-be ex-wife of Patti's stolen soon-to-be groom, and just about everyone involved in the wedding preparations. So it isn't a complete surprise when the erstwhile Juliet plunges to her death during her balcony scene.

I love Jaine! She is so funny and real. I really enjoy the emails from her parents as well and I have to say I think Jaine takes after her Dad. I can't say I was disappointed to see the victim get it but I was kept guessing as to who the murderer was. Always a lot of fun and am already looking forwa......more

It had to happen sometime. Finally, the first not great book in the series. I liked it very much and wanted to lie to myself, but I can't. There was no surprise ending, not really. The denouement was ho hum and to tell you the truth the plot itself didn't have much potential. The victim wasn't bitc......more

Out of the blue, Jaine gets a call from her former high school tormentor - Patti. She wants Jaine to write her wedding vows for her. Well, Jaine needs the money, how bad can it be? Turns out Patti is just as mean and cruel as she was in high school. She is the bridezilla from Hell and she actually H......more
