Product Description
From Booklist
It's a magical evening: Jennifer and Tom have just gotten engaged. But Jennifer's alcoholic, high-maintenance mother has some news of her own: she is divorcing Jennifer's father. This sours the preparations for Tom and Jennifer's wedding, which is a disaster in its own right. Beginning with blueberry stains on the bride's teeth, her intoxicated groom, and a missing shoe, the wedding soon plummets to its lowest point--a gorgeous woman shows up claiming to be Tom's first wife. Kendall's lively tale about breaking up, making up, and shaking it up is funny and poignant. Fans of Lori Wilde, Susan Donovan, and Connie Lane will appreciate Kendall's humorous take on tying the knot. Shelley Mosley

Not Fit, but Ripe, May 20 2007
By wordwitch "wordwitch" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fit To Be Tied (Paperback)
I thought the premise of this book was original. When I bought it, I thought I was getting something fresh and entertaining. I was not entertained by Jen's superficiality. Yes, I understood that she was going through some rough times because of her parents' divorce, but where does that mean that she can't think for herself? Because her parents divorce, must she become a self-absorbed, hypercritical, vengeful maniac?
I hated the book. I didn't like Jen, but did like Tom. Neither was perfect, but Jen was ridiculous, very much the type of woman who would marry a man then turn around two seconds later and divorce him over something that is forgiveable and understandable. The author forged the situation, but she didn't make Jen likeable, just manic. If I have a manic, idiotic heroine, I'd rather watch it on television for 30 minutes than read about it.
I kept thinking that Tom, despite his own role in the crash of their marriage, should just walk away from her until she started acting like a real woman instead of a caricature of one.
This is my first Karen Kendall book, and I am not impressed enough to buy another.

Different, Dec 19 2007
By Amanda A. Adams - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fit To Be Tied (Paperback)
This is nothing like your standard romance plot and for that alone I was interested. This book skips the falling in love part of the relationship and takes you strait to the wedding and the wonders of actually making it work. I laughed a lot in this book and related to the characters. It didn't really make my fav list but I'm glad I didn't miss it. Sexaul Content: Mild

Invokes a carousel of emotions, Nov 4 2008
By Lauren Calder - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fit To Be Tied (Paperback)
Adding adventure and laughter in the recipe for this morsel of a treat. Be prepared for an afternoon of pure pleasure. Fit to Be Tied is a made-into-a-movie starring Sandra Bullock fabulous.~Affaire de Coeur
