Much Ado about Romance - Susan Page Davis - Bog

A collection of three novellas inspired by Shakespearean romantic comedies.
The Marry Wives of Sweetheart by Shannon Sue Dunlap-Mrs. Augusta Page knows best-for her daughter, Anne, and the whole town of Sweetheart, Texas. When Anne's former boyfriend, Conner Fenton, returns after many years of absence, it's a rocky road to reconciliation. Joshua attempts to rekindle their romance, but Anne's wounded heart never forgave him when he left her behind for the big city.
Augusta enlists the help of her longtime buddy Veronica "Ronnie" Ford to do a little matchmaking, but obstacles abound. Her husband is against the romance, and foolish friend-of-the-family John Falstaff has taken a shine to Anne and asked for assistance. But the biggest obstacle is her daughter's stubborn heart. Mrs. Page and Mrs. Ford have their work cut out to inspire Anne Page to join the ranks of the "marry" wives of Sweetheart.
The Tempest in the Bay by Susan Page Davis-A famous writer has retreated to an island home with only his daughter. For ten years, he's hidden away and not sent his publisher any new manuscripts. His daughter Violet is now 20 and wondering if it's time for her to see more of the world since her contact with the mainland is only through Darrell, a rather sluggish man from the shore community who brings out supplies once a month.
Paul's brother Barney and the CEO of his publisher's company set out on a yacht to track him down. But a storm intervenes, and when the sailing party lands on his island, Paul isn't sure he wants to go back.
Much Ado about Matrimony by Linda Fulkerson-Tricia Waters has resigned herself to the fact she'll never have a happily ever after, so she focuses on making her cousin's upcoming wedding a memorable one. But when she discovers her ex-fiancé is the best man, she vows to evade him. That is, until the two must work together to prevent the happy couple from breaking up.
Reeling from a personal tragedy, Dr. Ben McIntyre travels to serve as his buddy's best man only to discover the maid of honor is the love of his life. Or she was, until she ended their engagement six years earlier. He plans to keep his distance from Tricia. When circumstances keep pushing them to work together, Ben learns that avoidance is futile.
