Every Bride Needs a Groom (Brides with Style Book #1) by Janice Thompson

Somewhere in a sea of tulle and taffeta, satin and crepe, Katie Fisher needs to find a key ingredient of the perfect wedding--the groom.

Small-town girl Katie Fisher is busy planning her fairy-tale wedding. Sure, her boyfriend hasn't managed to pop the question just yet, but that doesn't mean she shouldn't enter a contest in Texas Bride magazine to win the dress of her dreams, right? Anyway, she's sure he'll be getting down on one knee any time now. And a one-of-a-kind designer dress doesn't just fall out of the sky right when you need it.

But when Katie's boyfriend takes a job in another town and breaks up with her--on the very same day she wins her dream dress--her world is turned upside down. Dare she go to Dallas to claim her prize? And will the hunky pro basketball player who runs the beyond-swanky bridal shop--yeah, you read that right--discover her humiliating secret if she does?

Katie goes to Dallas and tells the shop manager that her boyfriend jilted her and she has no groom.  Madge, the manager, insists she still go ahead with the dream dress.  What follows is an entertaining story.  Although sometimes the narrative thoughts of Katie is a little drawn out.

Then there is Brady.  He is a professional basketball player who blew out his knee and had surgery.  He is also the store owner’s son and is taking over in his mothers place while she is in Paris.  As you can guess, he soon becomes the love interest for Katie. 

I would recommend this book to anyone.  It is a good clean foul language free romance book. I have enjoyed all of Janice Thompson’s books and this one is no exception.

I was given this book by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
