Summary: A ROLICKING ADVENTURE? A BIT OF FUN!
Review: Great spin off to Standing Bear's Surrender --
Really memorable characters in Jerry Bob Crawford and Josie Belle Pickins and their respective relations.

Poor ole Ben Standing Bear didn't know what hit him but he was ready to take a chance.

Josie Belle is another goofey female who can't decide what she wants but her insecurities provide rolicking good fun.

Ben Standing Bear, now a full fledged doctor, and wanting to fit into his community is confused about what Josie really wants.

Their long term friendship is floundering in a sea of confusion as their attraction to one another slowly develops into a love affair.

Great fun is had by the reader as Josie and Ben's story unfolds and it is wonderful to meet up again with Jim "the Bear" Standing Bear and his wife and children as they attend the wedding.

These two companion books make a wonderful read and I surely do recommend the three previous books also - SUMMER HAWK - WARRIOR'S EMBRACE and GREY WOLF'S WOMAN.

Definitely recommended -- great enjoyment - wonderful past time.

Summary: An adventure to remember -- Very highly recommended
Review: When Ben Standing Bear comes to her prenuptial party in response to an invitation, Josie Belle Pickens takes one look and knows she's marrying the wrong man. So when her future husband and her future mother-in-law show their prejudice against the Native American, Josie invites him to dance -- not just any dance, mind you, but the tango, the only legal way to make love in public! Considering the fact that Josie's dancing with her friend rather than her fiancée, its no wonder the whole town is atwitter with rumor. Of course Josie ends the evening by returning her engagement ring to her fiancé, but she doesn't count on the explosion waiting at home, or her own response.

Meddlesome Aunt Tess moved in with Josie's mother when her father passed away. Her mother's not much for standing up for herself or for her daughter, and when Aunt Tess' prodding proves to be beyond her endurance, Josie promises there will still be a wedding on Saturday. But she's not repairing her broken engagement. Rather, she's going to provide a surprise groom! Josie specializes in rushing in where angels fear to tread, and her enthusiasms and vivaciousness sweep Ben Standing Bear right along with her. On Saturday they will walk down the aisle, without preparing anyone in town for the switch of grooms. But maybe Ben likes the idea of marrying Josie, and maybe hearts have better sense than logic anyway.

As Ben and Josie discover their love for one another, and learn to risk sharing those feelings, the reader is swept away on a tide of passion and romance. Combined with a healthy dose of giggles, INVITATION TO A WEDDING will prove to be the most delightful and memorable invitation to fun that the reader can possibly experience. Once again Peggy Webb's powerful storytelling voice makes the improbably not only believable, but an adventure to remember. Very highly recommended.
