Matilda leaves her home in Australia and arrives in Wisconsin to surprise her fiancé wearing her Grandmothers ill fitted wedding gown and carrying the family wedding cake. The trouble is suddenly her fiancé seems to be MIA, and shes stranded with no money. Enter Marc. Hes home for a short family visit when he spots the bride and he swoops in to rescue her.
When I first read the cover blurb of this book, I was equally intrigued and leery. It had the potential to be either really great or terribly bad. Luckily for me, really great it was! The plot as it stands on the cover blurb seems a little ridiculous but the author spins it in a way that makes it plausible.
I loved Matilda and Marc from the start, but Matilda especially. She is one gutsy lady. Shes honest, pulls no punches and speaks the truth even when its not the most comfortable. I loved her Australian way of speaking and the different words she usesshes fantastic.
There are a few painful moments here and there and you will cry a few times, but in the end all the tears are well worth it. The secondary characters are just as important to this story as Marc and Matilda are and they were just as interesting for me to read about. It was just an all around excellent read.
