Book 1 — The Almost Wives Club: Kate
Is the bridal gown a matchmaker?
Kate Winton-Jones is marrying one of America’s most eligible bachelors. Edward Carnarvon III is rich, handsome and hers. But at the final fitting of her wedding gown, one of the seamstresses pricks her and a tiny blood spot appears on the outrageously expensive gown. Its famous designer fires the clumsy seamstress on the spot, whereupon the girl puts a curse on the dress and storms out. Kate doesn’t believe in curses. She’s modern, American and in love with the perfect guy. What could go wrong?
Book 2 — Secondhand Bride
As the poor relation in the rich and powerful Carnarvon family, Ashley Carnarvon is used to hand-me-downs. But getting handed down a wedding dress that’s cursed? Okay, the curse is bad enough, but even worse, the dress doesn’t suit her. The fabulous gown was designed for a taller, slimmer bride who ran away before the wedding and never wore the dress – which gets back to the curse…
Book 3 — Bridesmaid for Hire
Tasmine Ford is such a perfect bridesmaid, she’s made a side business out of it. But, when a gorgeous designer wedding gown is handed to her, after the bride who is supposed to wear it climbs out the window on her wedding day, she starts to wonder, will she always be a bridesmaid and never a bride? It’s not that she doesn’t know exactly who she wants to marry. But Eric Van Hoffendam wants to cry on her shoulder, not ask for her hand in marriage.
Book 4 — The Wedding Flight
She’s passing a vintage store on Melrose Avenue when Meg O’Reilly catches sight of the prettiest wedding dress she’s ever seen. On impulse she tries it on and the guy who runs the vintage store tells her she looks beautiful. The gown fits like it was made for her and when she twirls in front of the mirror, she feels like a fairy princess. Not even her Doc Martens ruin the effect.
Book 5 — If the Dress Fits
Evangeline is a former supermodel more famous for the men she’s dated and the scandals she’s been involved in than for her acting talent. Now, the famous Brit has turned her hand to designing wedding gowns and lingerie for the rich and famous. It’s an open secret that she only designs her outrageously priced gowns for attractive women. The Diva Designer also has a famous temper. She’s been wildly successful until an unfortunate incident ended with a seamstress cursing both her and her latest wedding gown. Now rumours are circulating, and the press are picking up the juicy story of the cursed wedding gown. Four brides have attempted to get married in the cursed dress and none of them has made it down the aisle. To squelch the rumours, Evangeline announces publicly that she is wearing the gown herself—for her own wedding.

Nancy Warren’s The Almost Wives Club Series is so great it is difficult to choose a favorite story. I read them as they were first published eagerly waiting for the next book to be released. Though to be honest the time between was not long still to be able to read all 5 at one time, one right after the other is a treat indeed. Together this makes an awesome series that is just the right length with humor in the middle of life complications, lessons learned and love that is true and lasting.
The five books in order are as follows –
The Almost Wives Club: Kate is book one. It is more of the bride who wasn’t. This is where the famous dress is cursed. Kate stole my heart so that I wanted to read all the others. There is humor in this book as Kate takes a serious look at her life and the direction it is going. You go, girl!
Secondhand Bride: Ashley the one made to feel like the poor relative so she should take whatever she is given. The dress is no more for her than the sorry excuse of a fiancé, Eric. She deserves to be loved with a whole heart.
Bridesmaid for Hire: Tasmine is the one woman who came up with a job that I would have never thought of starting. She is great at it just like she is at the whole organizing the wedding. It is sort f like a wedding director with the added benefit of the bride having someone in the wedding party that will make sure all goes well. Of course, she deserves more than always being the bridesmaid.
The Wedding Flight: Meg finds the dress in a vintage shop. What stood out in this story is that the Meg’s falls in love with the dress but the owner’s son falls for her. Cute story.
If the Dress Fits: Evangeline is the last book when the dress coming full circle. Evangeline is not at all like I thought from the first book. Well, she sort of is but learns to be better. Maybe she wouldn’t have if the curse had not been put on that dress. It is the perfect conclusion to the series. It could easily be my second favorite but that is because of Wade Davenport, the perfect calm to her storm.
Some of the books the publisher/author gave me a complimentary ARC, other I purchased. I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
The Almost Wives Club box set is a true delight. When an extremely exclusive and expensive wedding dress is cursed by a fired seamstress it starts an interesting chain of events. Each book in this set features a different bride who is all set to wear this dress on her wedding day. However, the weddings and relationships do not go as planned … it looks as if the dressed really is cursed. These delightful romances are all gentle rom-com’s with great characters and some real laugh out loud moments. I thoroughly enjoyed all these books and highly recommend this box set. Once you have read the first book you will definitely want to read them all.
A sensational series of five interconnected stories that should be read in order. Romance, intrigue, redemption, so much humour and the most satisfying conclusions! Each story is fantastically unique, too–you aren’t reading a variation of the same story over and over. Nancy Warren has produced the ultimate in romantic comedy.
too long I will write my own review.
