After Nina Cormier was jilted at the altar, the empty church exploded. Then someone tried to run Nina off the road, and she realized someone wanted her dead--but who? That's what Detective Sam Navarro needs to find out...fast.

With a nightmare unfolding around them, Sam and Nina decipher the stunning truth. Now they're at the mercy of a brilliant madman who plays for keeps.

I have read many books by Tess Gerritsen, all of them more memorable than this one. I thought the narrator was depressed, as her voice seemed to drag me down. I may still read other books by Gerritsen, but romantic mystery is not her best look.

Not up to my expectations

Another well told story by Garrettson. As is the case in her novels, Gerritsen twists the tale to keep the reader engaged.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Get rid of the sappy romance sections... keep the mystery and beef up the characters.

What was most disappointing about Tess Gerritsen’s story?

I knew i was in trouble when i discovered this was a Harlequin book. definitely did not realize that when i made the purchase. Love Tess Gerritsen and her characters but the name Harlequin implies long sappy mind numbing excruciatingly detailed description of sex and i was not disappointed ... and that is not a good thing.

I'd hoped for a solid thriller on par with Gerritsen's prior books ... NOT THE CASE! Nearly 40% of the book is taken up by either the two main characters fighting their attraction to each other or mating as a result of it. Personally, i would think that someone under the threat of a killer would have other things to focus on... but that is just me.

Opened my audible account to double check if other Gerritsen books are Harlequn. so far so good. will definitely check before ever purchasing futures books though.Cannot bear having to endure another like this one!!!

Have you listened to any of Montana Chase’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

don't believe i have, however, she handled the delivery of this book well. bet with decent material she would really rock!

Was Keeper of the Bride worth the listening time?

NO NO NO and by the way NO ... unless of course you are really into the Harlequin style of literature... I AM NOT!

SOOO VERY DISAPPOINTED

The storyline was predictable but I still enjoyed it. Tess has a way of keeping your attention and wanting more. The insecurity of the two main characters got to be a bit much, but was necessary for the story to work. I highly recommend it.

A fun read

I've read a bunch of books by Tess Gerritsen, and I really enjoy her medical thrillers. However, this seems to be more of a "Harlequin Intrigue" book. The focus is on the relationship between the couple, rather than the mystery/crime, which is not very engaging. And by "which" (in the previous sentence) I mean BOTH are dull - the relationship between the H/h and the mystery itself. I didn't like or dislike the hero and heroine...they didn't have much of an impression on me at all. I felt that the story dragged near the end, and could have been wrapped up more quickly. In fact, I felt that it probably could have been condensed to half the length that it was. Don't get me wrong - it wasn't terrible, but after reading Gerritsen's later works, I kept thinking about how much better her other books are (as I was listening to this one). I also was not a fan of the person reading the book; I've heard a lot of audiobooks and I think they could have chosen someone better. I was not impressed by her "accents."

Glad I read other Gerritsen books first!

Who knew Tess Gerritsen could write romance! This is definitely not one of her typical high suspense murder thrillers, but I thought it was a good mix of light romance, a little suspense and a murder mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this one.

Where does Keeper of the Bride rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Terri Gerritsen keeps you at the edge of your seat anticipating action. I could not stop listening!!

What did you like best about this story?

Story line keeps flowing and keeping my attention

What about Montana Chase’s performance did you like?

Overall a good performance. Sometimes I had to listening closely to determine which character was speaking but overall good job.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The ending was spellbounding. I almost got frustrated that the story time would speed forward with the outcome. LOL

Any additional comments?

I will definitely buy another book from this author. Very enjoyable and exciting!

Could not turn it off!!!

This is my 12th book by TS. For me, reading one of her books is like listening to an old friend. Some of my old friends don't tell the best stories, but I still am comfortable with them. TS is not the greatest story teller, yet I feel comfortable with her.

TS started her career writing romance, but was not too successful with it. Now that she has hit the big time, she is going back to it. I discovered her when she was writing medical thrillers and she usually had some weird aspect to her story. In Harvest she had afterbirth, with an eye and it was living. Then her Rizzoli series got picked up by TBS Or USA? And now she is famous.

This book is mostly romance. Of the few romance I have read I like this best, but that is not saying much. It is just not my thing. Do not try to figure the mystery out in this as no clues are given to you in order to do so. Nina the female lead starts out with one of the worst days ever, her fiance leaves her standing at the alter, the church gets blown up and somebody tries to kill her. Later she falls in love with a cop, seduces him and tells him it is just one night, don't worry about anything else. The next morning she sinks her claws in him and tries to own him. He tells her no, but she doesn't listen. This may not seem right, but is so typical. I also did not care for the transformation of the bad guy. At the beginning he is suppose to be smart and crafty, but then he cracks up and gets sloppy. So, sloppy it is almost stupid.

If your not into romance, then listen or read Life Support, Gravity, The Surgeon, Ice Cold or The Apprentice. All great TS books.

Narrator is just ok, can't do male voices well at all.

I've grown accustomed to her flaws
