I had never heard of Karen Toller Whittenburg, but the synopsis on the back cover attracted me to the book instantly. And a fun read it was. It's one you won't want to put down.

Sara Gunnerson owns her own business "At Your Service." At the last minute her bartender for a party backs out on her. Desperate, she grabs the first man she sees, Ben Northcross, and as luck would have it, he's done some bartending in his day.

Now, the beautiful wedding dress she's wearing is only the beginning of the wild ride you will be on when reading this story. Ben must undo and redo those button at least a half dozen times. From a twinkling wedding dress, to a snob of a butler, to Ben in a D'Lur original tie and army fatigues, and on to the climbing of trellis's you're sure to laugh and enjoy this story immensely.
