The Shocking Secret of the Guest at the Wedding

The Shocking Secret of the Guest at the Wedding by Victoria Alexander

Summary: The bride and groom cordially request your presence for a wedding at Millworth Manor. . .

Guests will include Jackson Quincy Graham Channing, New York City banker, and Lady Theodosia "Teddy" Winslow, wedding planner to the finest families in England.

Introductions shall be followed by light conversation, dancing, flirtation, arguing, reconciliation, and an impulsive kiss that both parties are quite certain they will never repeat. 


Until they do. 

A mutually beneficial fake engagement will be accompanied by all manner of very real complications, scandalous revelations, nefarious schemes, and one inescapable conclusion: 

That true love--unlike the perfect wedding--is impossible to plan. . .

Angie's Comments: For historical romance readers, The Shocking Secret of the Guest at the Wedding is another good read from Victoria Alexander. Jackson Quincy Graham Channing is told a secret kept by his mother for his entire life. The secret changes his life, and he is forced to evaluate who he is, what he wants from life, and what the connections will be with his family members. I loved the character of Jackson, who handles difficult situations well. The secondary characters are eccentric and charming. I wish the epilogue had been longer, but otherwise it was a fast-paced, fun read.
