Always the Designer, Never the Bride by Sandra D. Bricker [3 stars]

Always the Designer, Never the Bride by Sandra D. Bricker
Audrey Regan has worked years to make a name for herself as a wedding dress designer.
But unfortunately, Audrey's business isn't going anywhere and she's barely able to bring in any money. If she doesn't land a contract soon, she might have to close down for good.
When her best friend, Carly, asks her to design a wedding dress, she makes the decision to fly to Atlanta, knowing full well this may be the last dress she designs.
While in Atlanta, Audrey's world is turned upside down when she meets Carly's fiance's brother, JR, and she finds a new business prospect when she's asked to design a gown for a plus sized bride. Will Audrey be able to revive her business? And has she finally found true love?

It almost doesn't seem right to say, but this book was a little too happy. There's no 'suspense', no real character development, nothing really even happening except everyone and their brother (litterally as it turns out) getting married. It just wasn't real to me, everything was just too perfect, like a Strawberry Shortcake movie or something.
It got to be a little confusing keeping all the characters and their spouses straight. I found myself getting them mixed up and trying to remember who was who.
This book wasn't real memorable, but makes for a light read. I found myself looking forward more to the little facts and recipies at the end of each chapter than I did about the story itself.

This is book three in the series. Book 1 Always the Baker, Never the Bride and Always the Wedding Planner, Never the Bride (review).
