Marrying Mr. Right

by Cathy Tully

Missy Modesto had it all: a successful business, two fabulous kids, and a twenty-seven-year marriage to her high school sweetheart. But when too many arguments left them unable to compromise, she and Vinnie separated. Now, nine months later, their daughter is getting married and wants Missy to plan the wedding.

Vinnie Modesto is trying to put his life back together. He keeps in touch with his kids and is building his business to its full potential--something he should have done before the only woman he ever loved ended their marriage.

Missy dreads seeing Vinnie again, but when he arrives, eager to help with the wedding and offering solutions to every problem, Missy isn't sure what to think. Can she believe in the new man he's become during their separation? Or is this just another in a long line of Vinnie's empty promises?

You can't be a successful writer if all you've ever read are Cosmo articles.
Minus additional point for a "lonely woman adopts bulldog from kennel" cliche. Honestly, I've seen it so many times, I believe American C list literature is sponsored by bulldog breeders.

Marrying Mr. Right is Cathy Tully's debut sweet romance. And it is--sweet, that is. In this story of divorcing parents, it takes the stress of their daughter's wedding to remind me what's important in life. In this addition to the Dearly Beloved series, Ms. Tully creates likable characters and tells a charming story in this short novella.

I loved the cover of this book with the dog in the tux, so I knew I had to read it. It was a very sweet and enjoyable short story.
