Back from quarantine, reading Trouble at the Wedding
January 10th, 2012 | 
Author: I swear I have been sick more in the past year. I could blame this last nasty virus on Pax, but she’s wasn’t patient zero in the house this time. It was Juan.
Meanwhile, Pax turned one Saturday. Still can’t believe that it has been that long. She is such a joy. Happy birthday, baby girl.

Since I was off yesterday (and sick in bed), I spent the afternoon reading Trouble at the Wedding by Laura Lee Guhrke, which – of course – I find out that it is apart of a series half way through it. Has it distracted me from the story – no… but I haven’t finished, so I don’t know how it will impact me if I haven’t read the others.
Trouble at the Wedding in many was the usual heiress and impoverished peer story – he needs the money, she wants the status upgrade. A little difference here. Annabel’s American New Money, a southern girl, and still viewed as white trash. Christian’s still a heavily in debt British peer, but he’s trying to stop her wedding to a different heavily in debt British peer (who will just spend all her money on mistresses). Annabel’s uncle hires him to talk her into postponing her wedding, cause her uncle doesn’t trust the guy she has her sights on to marry.
Heh… and they are forced to do a little back peddling when Christian stands up and Annabel’s wedding DRUNK saying that the bride and groom shouldn’t get married.
Yeah, that makes the whole situation look so good for Annabel’s reputation. Not.
So, I hope I finish over the next couple of days. I’m enjoying it. So far it feels a little refreshing to read. In a market where it seems that the hotter, the sexier, the better, it’s nice to read something where they have only kissed where I am at in the book (about 1/2 way).
