With This Ring, I'm Confused

Starred review from June 1, 2005
The conclusion to Billerbeck's "Ashley Stockingdale" chick-lit series (after "What a Girl Wants" and "She's Out of Control") begins with 32-year-old Ashley planning her dream wedding to Dr. Kevin Novak, who happens to come from a wealthy Southern family. Arriving to help Ashley is Kevin's sister, Emily, who takes over the planning and turns the wedding into an over-the-top "Gone with the Wind" extravaganza. If Emily does not push Ashley over the edge, the reappearance of her former love, Seth, just might. He had avoided marriage like the plague before but now seems interested in getting back together with Ashley. Snappy dialog and a smart, amusing writing style will satisfy Billerbeck's many fans. Essential for public libraries and those who own the earlier series titles. Billerbick (www.kristinbillerbeck.com), who is winner of the American Christian Writers Association (ACRW) 2004 Contemporary Book of the Year ("What a Girl Wants") and the Romance Writers of America's Reader's Choice Faith Hope and Love Award for her novellas, lives in Silicon Valley, CA.
