Gorgeous playboy Dominick Chickalini can charm his way out of - or into-any and every situation. But on the plane on his way to Las Vegas for a weekend of drinking, flirting, and gambling, he suddenly feels like everyone is coupled up-except himself. He tries to push it out of his mind, but then he notices the passenger next to him. She's the most stunningly beautiful woman he's ever seen...and she's wearing a wedding dress. Mia Calogera has to get married or her strong-willed, and incredibly wealthy grandfather will cut her off. Accustomed to the finer things in life, she's hatched a plan: marry a man she met on the Internet. But with Dominick next to her on the plane, her stomach won't stop doing flip-flops. When Mia's plan goes awry, and Dom needs to borrow money, Mia has the perfect way for him to pay her back. But will the eternal bachelor succumb to the bride's plan?
It was a super fun read. I could not put it down. It was very entertaining read.

In recent years, Mia Calogera has been spoiled because her grandpa won the lottery. However he is also from the old country and demands Mia marry before she reaches her thirtieth birthday or he will cut her out of his will. He even offers to bring a groom from Sicily for her. Mia meets Derek Jackson, an orchid grower, over the internet. They exchange email, chats, and pictures, and soon agree to wed. She flies to Vegas to marry him at the Chapel of Luv. Her first class row mate on the flight is Dominick Chickalini. On the plane they hit it off starting with both being from Astoria Queens. In the Vegas Airport she decides to drop Derek and try to convince Dominick to marry her because she feels attracted to him. She offers Dominick money, which he needs to move out from under his father's roof so he marries her. Soon the newlyweds each wants to make their relationship permanent because they love each other, but neither is willing to take the daring first step. BRIDE NEEDS GROOM is a fun lighthearted romantic romp that fans of contemporary tales will appreciate. The lead couple are fun to read about as they marry for the wrong reasons, but all the right reasons are there too if either courageously reaches out to the other. Readers will enjoy Wendy Markham's amusing tale of love across the tracks in Astoria. Harriet Klausner
Another hit by Markham.

This was a very cute love story about Mia Calogera and Dominic 'Dom' Chickalini (you may recognize the name from her previous books) meeting on a plane on the way to Las Vegas. Dom is going for business while Mia is going to marry a man she's meeting for the first time. Without ruining the romance and story, I will say that this book met my expectations compared to Wendy Markhams previous romance books. If you're in the mood for a light hearted romance quick read that 'll leave you feeling happy, this book is for you.
fantastic funny read

It's a story,not a series,it stands alone. Who cares if he's a little younger or older in this book. I was more interested in curling up and reading, than counting how old the characters *should have been between one book and another. It's about the love story and in my opinion so far everything I've read from Wendy Markham has had a good love story and been a fun, interesting read.
