****************************
Mary Kay Andrews’s Save The Date is a simple and simple romance, with all the ingredients in the correct order. The heroine is Cara Kryzik, who is trying to make a living as a florist in the snobbish and traditional Southern town of Savannah and the big bucks come from designing floral arrangements for society weddings.
The ‘meet cute’ comes when Cara’s beloved goldendoodle puppy is mistakenly picked up by historic-building restorer Jack Finnerty, since he owns the same breed. They are clearly made for each other, but Cara’s recent divorce has left her emotionally bruised and Jack’s ex hasn’t quite exited the scene; besides, she has to make a success of her business to prove a point to her disapproving father. Jack’s persistence wins over Cara, but there is a long list of problems to be overcome first. Save The Date is breezy read with generous lashings of humour--fans of the genre won’t have anything to complain about.
