Looking for a Light, Diverting Romance? Look No Further.
7:30 PM

After writing eleven book reviews today, I'm too tired to come up with another plot summary, so here's the official one for Wedding Belles by Melanie Jacobson, Jenny Proctor, Becca Wilhite, and Brittany Larsen:
Janie is a classical cellist booked to play a posh Charleston wedding. She’s excited to have the lucrative gig until the groom’s brother, Emmett, shows up and asks her to help him play a song he wrote for the happy couple. The only trouble? Emmett is her unrequited high school crush.
Lily has been Dahlia's best friend, partner-in-crime, and now her maid of honor . . . until suddenly there's no wedding, and she's left to clean up Dahlia's biggest mess of all. She's been friends with Deacon, the jilted groom, for just as long, and it's up to her to rescue him after Hurricane Dahlia blows through.
Sutton is a photographer running from her past. Only the pleas from her best friend to photograph her wedding could bring Sutton back to Charleston. Her plan is to get in and get out before her ex knows she and their daughter are in town. At least it’s the plan until she meets Max, who turns out to be the safe place she didn’t know she was looking for.
I don't usually dig short stories, but I'm becoming a fan of romance novels centering around one main event that are told in parts. Wedding Belles is no exception. It offers a series of funny, upbeat stories written by some of my favorite Latter-Day Saint romance novelists. Although the book has nothing to do with the Church, it is mostly clean (there are a few mild swear words) and completely sweet. Naturally, I liked some of the stories more than others (the first and final are my favorites), but all of them are fun, warm, and engaging. If you're looking for a light, diverting read, definitely pick up this swoony romance.

Grade:
If this were a movie, it would be rated:
for brief, mild language (no F-bombs)
To the FTC, with love: I received an e-ARC of Wedding Belles from the generous authors. Thank you!

Comments make me feel special, so go crazy! Just keep it clean and civil. Feel free to speak your mind (I always do), but be aware that I will delete any offensive comments.
P.S.: Don't panic if your comment doesn't show up right away. I have to approve each one before it posts to prevent spam. It's annoying, but it works!
