This was a decent read although I prefer the thriller without the romance. Gerritson creates atmosphere and pace really well. The characters are all a bit "formulaic" of thats the right word I didn't really care for any of them.

Good ending but think it could have been played out a bit more!

I'd heard only good things about Tess Gerritsen, but found this disappointing.
The novel started with a bang (literally), but it was downhill from there. I found the characters one-dimensional and unbelievable; I can understand that circumstances like Nina's and Sam's may lead to relationships forming, but I found the outcome of their relationship a little unbelievable considering the bland build up.
By the end of the novel I was bored and glad it was over.

Keeper of the Bride is one of those old school romantic mysteries. You know, the ones where guns have unlimited bullets and when the hero gets shot he still manages to save the girl before he finally gets dragged off to hospital under protest.
It's good entertaining fluff. Well worth a look but only if you like fluff. I for one do.
This book contains two stories.
Story 1 has a young woman whose wedding was targeted by a bomber, joining forces with a detective to hunt down the bomber.
Story 2 has an English gentleman joining forces with a cat burglar to thwart the murderous plans of an evil business tycoon.
Cliches abound.

Лек роман, страхотна двойка и заинтригуваща мистерия. Исках мистерията за кого се опитва да убие главната героиня и как е свързано с бомбовите атаки да бъде по заплетена защо имаше потенциал други до нея да бъдат замесени като доведения й баща или нещо от миналото на годеника й. Също така, връзката между Нина и Сам беше по забързана от колкото очаквах. Имаха техни характерни черти но можеха да бъдат още по показани но заради екшъна беше много по настрана. За кратко, много ми хареса динамиката между Сам и Нина, емоционалната им връзка и как той зачита каква е тя като личност и че я оценява по най хубавия начин.
