Savor the Moment

Nora Roberts, . . Berkley, $16 (352pp) ISBN 978-0-425-23368-9

Happily-ever-afters continue to bloom in book three of Roberts's sugary Bride Quartet (after Bed of Roses ) as the spotlight shines on pastry chef extraordinaire Laurel McBane. Vows, the Greenwich, Conn., wedding business run by the four BFFs, is also a hotbed for romance, as two of the friends have already found true love and dream of their upcoming nuptials. Laurel, meanwhile, sets her sights on Del, the older brother of Vows partner Parker, a handsome lawyer she's secretly loved since they were teens. Passion erupts, but will they be able to make it last? Laurel's tart fairy tale romance offers few surprises, but it's impossible to deny Roberts's flair for sketching likable couples. (May)
