Publisher's Summary:

At 33, Suzanne Hamilton has no regrets. A successful event planner with a swanky condo in a hot Atlanta neighborhood, she's got a close group of friends and a list of men a mile long who would happily bend over backwards to win her heart. Plus, she's just landed the event that will take her career to the next level.

Then a freak accident changes everything. Humiliated, with her career in tatters, Suzanne's lost her business not to mention her self-respect. She's managed, however, to retain the surprising support of her newest celebrity client: the sexy country music star, Dylan Burke. Against her better judgment, but without any better offers, Suzanne agrees to plan a wedding for one of the Burke sisters. But when she comes to realize her freak accident was anything but, her catalog of past relationships turns into a list of suspects and Suzanne must question everything - her career, her friendships, and most acutely, her own dating rules.

As it turns out, she might have quite a bit to regret after all.

Taking place a few years after the events of The Marriage Pact, M. J. Pullen returns to the same captivating group of lovelorn friends, this time following Suzanne as she discovers that her trusty rules no longer apply. Raising the stakes, Pullen delivers an absorbing, romantic story that shows how someone with a "perfect life" can lose it all - and then find everything.

Couldn't put it down (until the end)

M.J. Pullen is definitely an author who is getting stronger. Whereas I got bogged down a bit in the middle in "The Marriage Pact," I couldn't put "Regrets Only" down. I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning reading it, devouring the whole thing in less than 24 hours on a busy work day, sneaking a peak at every opportunity. I couldn't be sure what kind of book I was reading exactly (Was it a mystery or a romance or a slice of life?) and that made it all the more engaging. Like in "The Marriage Pact," Pullen takes a character who I can't relate to at all, and dislike in the beginning, and humanizes (and humbles) her, making me root for her in the end. Suzanne is anything but a "Mary Sue" - she is a strong woman with a strong character -- a high-society event planner with a history of short relationships and mostly superficial friendships. Although I didn't like her, she is a character that many will find compelling (she's a bit too gorgeous and stylish and high heels and lipstick for this bohemian granola reader, although Suzanne does, surprisingly, refer to herself as a feminist at one point). The events of the story make Suzanne ultimately question her rules she's lived by, and come out a more human, and humble, character in the end--one who seeks more depth in her relationships to not just her romantic hero, but to her friends, as well. In the end, Suzanne moves from superficial event planner to, well, pursuing work with meaning and soul. And she gets there in a way where her character growth makes sense. Pullen's strengths are her characterizations--her ability to make you care about everyone from this sharp (in all senses of the word) event planner to the country music star--and her detailed descriptions. You can completely picture the people, places, and events that Pullen describes. Pullen, too, clearly knows how to grow a character.
