At the same time, unbeknownst to her friends, Audrey is trying to salvage her failing design business, hoping that a certain socialite wedding client will contract with her and save the day, or at least provide some breathing room until Audrey can figure out her options. With all that on her mind, Audrey is not interested in getting attached to anyone, which is just fine with J.R. Hunt, brother to Carly's groom, Devon. J.R. is a bad boy on a motorcycle who has even fewer intentions of hitching his star to some unlucky lady's wagon.

But fate has its own plans...

Bricker's Never a Bride series features the people who typically surround the bride and groom—the wedding planner, the baker, and now the wedding dress designer—and finds a way to make them the stars of their own weddings.

In ALWAYS THE DESIGNER, NEVER THE BRIDE, Bricker puts Audrey and J.R., together with ease. Never a doubt they'll find their way to each other—after all this is a romance—yet Bricker keeps the getting to the happy-ever-after interesting and surprising. The cast of characters are a hoot, from Audrey, J.R., Carly and Devon to quirky Katarina, take-charge Sherilyn, oddly appealing Russell and the rest, each individual adds something unique and special to the mix.

The story romps along, a fast-paced read that never dulls. The only disappointment is that it eventually comes to an end.

If you want sunshine on the pages of a book, pick up a title by Sandra D. Bricker. Bricker infuses ALWAYS THE DESIGNER, NEVER THE BRIDE with her trademark Southern sass and wit, rendering a romance that is fun and delightful, a real put- a-smile-on-your-face kind of read.
