I love the symbolism of this title, The Wedding Dress. Please don’t ask me what it is; I’m not one for spoilers…but it follows the same idea as the first two books in this series, Picket Fence, and The Hope Chest. And while this is the third in a series, it stands beautifully on its own. My recommendation, though, is to read all three. Reading them in order brings added richness and depth to this book.
I loved Emma and Jared’s story. It caught my curiosity quickly, and I didn’t want to put the book down. I found myself sneaking a chapter every chance I could. You would think I would learn by now that when I sit down to read a book by Ms. Cates, I should be prepared for a page-turner. So, maybe I missed a load of laundry or two. Sometimes, the laundry has to take a back seat to a hauntingly beautiful love story.
It can be found here on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. (among other wonderful booksellers!)

Goodreads description:
Fame, fortune and true love…Emma McDaniel thought she had it all.
But stardom came at great personal cost—a painful divorce from her childhood sweetheart and the shattering of all her dreams. Fleeing the press and her own despair, Emma heads to Scotland for the role of a lifetime. There, brooding historian Dr. Jared Butler will help her become the legendary Lady Aislinn…unless his surly attitude tempts Emma to slay him with the lady’s sword first.
Scarred by a disastrous marriage of his own, Jared has little use for women—and none at all for pampered starlets. But as the two lose themselves in the lore of the past, Jared is stunned to find in Emma a kindred spirit. Will he dare to leave the safety of his history books and risk his heart with a woman of flesh and blood?
