"Will they or won't they?"

THAT'S AMORE! is a three author anthology from Harlequin Signature, with marriage as a theme, three couples going to the chapel, but will they make it or not??

In Janelle Denison's MEET THE PARENTS, Leila Malekala, like all dutiful Hawaiian daughters is expected to marry a Hawaiian groom but then one night while performing with her brothers Leila meets Jason Crofton. Jason is fun, sexy and from California. Her parents are anything but supportive of these two getting married, but Leila has a little surprise for Jason before the wedding. This was a sweet, romantic romance about two people who are immediately drawn to each other and know they are their soul mates.

In I DO, DON'T I? by Tori Carrington, Efi is getting ready to marry her childhood sweetheart Nick, but as the day draws nearer her feet grow colder. Will Efi marry the man she has been waiting for since she was five years old? or will she be on the first bus out of Detroit?

If you liked A BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING, then you are going to love I DO, DON'T I? by Tori Carrington. It has all the Greek traditions and the humor that Tori Carrington is known for. Efi and Nick are childhood sweethearts who never wanted to marry anyone else but each other, you can't help but root for these two to get together.

In Leslie Kelly's THERE GOES THE GROOM, Luke Santori is getting ready to marry Maria Martinelli, but there is a slight problem, he is very attracted to his fiance's dressmaker Rachel Grant. Rachel has only lived in Chicago for a year, but has been sort of adopted by the Santori clan. It is no secret they are not happy with Luke's choice of bride, whom Rachel has dubbed the Bride Nazi. Luke and Rachel are both honorable people determined to do the right thing but circumstances keep putting them together, will they be able to fight their feelings??

Leslie Kelly does an awesome job with a difficult subject, with the groom being attracted to someone else days before he is due to get married, she made the reader sympathetic to Luke and the reader understand why Luke may be having reservations. THERE GOES THE GROOM was funny and the hottest of the three novellas.

Ms Kelly also whets the appetite of readers when they read the prologue and epilog, you can't help but wonder what is going to happen?

THAT'S AMORE is everything a reader could want, three couples who must decide if they are making the right decision by three popular authors makes this anthology a must have for fans of Leslie Kelly, Janelle Denison and Tori Carrington.

Summary

It's way too late to elope...

Meet the Parents by Janelle Denison
Like all dutiful Hawaiian daughters, Leila Malekala is expected to marry a Hawaiian groom hand-picked by her parents. But guess what Mom and Dad? Leila has wedding plans of her own. The groom is California bad boy Jason Crofton...and the bride is pregnant.

I Do, Don't I? by Tori Carrington
Efi Panayotopoulou is about to marry her childhood sweetheart Nick Constantino. Everything should be perfect. But their families seem hell bent on turning the wedding into a farce—or Greek tragedy. And Efi is about a baklava flake away from running off...without her groom.

There Goes the Groom by Leslie Kelly
Luke Santori is engaged to "a nice Italian girl" from his Chicago neighborhood. But wedding plans get tossed—like unbaked dough at his family's pizzeria—when Luke falls for blonde-haired, blue-eyed Rachel Grant ... the dressmaker designing his fiancee's bridal gown.

Love—not-exactly-American-style!
