"Two stories with interesting situations and funny results!"

The Family Feud by Carol Finch tells the story of the peacemaking daughter who goes off to have a life of her own and the family left behind just falls apart. Janna Mitchell has just found out that her parents are separated. Her father retires from his teaching job, buys a Winnebago and decides it's time to hit the open road. Her mother buys a dress shop and is just getting started in a career. Then there's Jan's younger sister Kendra who just discovered her rat of a fiancé in bed with his secretary. What's a girl to do? Jan turns to her high school crush, Morgan Price, who absolutely humiliated her at the prom but she still has feelings for even though she doesn't want to admit it. Morgan gave her father a part time job and has turned out to be his confident through all this. Then Morgan and Janna come up with a plan. Will it work or will it backfire in their faces?

Stop The Wedding by Jennifer Drew is the story of Nick Franklin. Nick is the half-brother of Zack and Cole, the twins in Jennifer's Double Duets from September, 2001. Nick just doesn't know what he wants to do with his life yet. He's been drifting from job to job since he quit college. When he accidentally gets kidnapped with Stacy Moore out of a Bridal Shop where he had driven his mother because of her broken ankle, things get very interesting. For one, he and Stacy escape from their bumbling kidnappers and for another, once they finally are rescued, they can't seem to stop thinking about each other. The problem is Stacy is engaged to another man and the wedding isn't far off. Can Nick help Stacey change her mind about who she marries or will she be lost to him forever?

I thoroughly enjoyed both these stories. The characters were a lot of fun and the situations they found themselves in even funnier. The stories in the Harlequin Duets have consistently tickled my funny bone and these are no exception!
