It’s
a little tricky to review a set of novellas, since you may like one book and
not like another one. That’s how I felt
about Kiss the Bride. I enjoyed two of the novellas, but one of
them was a disappointment to me. These
books are a continuation of the year of
Weddings series, and include three summer wedding stories.
Picture Perfect Love by Melissa
McClone was a pretty good book, if a little unbelievable. Jenna Harrison’s fiancé, Ash, left her at the
altar because he believed she told him a lie.
When Ash’s younger sister gets married, she wants Jenna to take the
pictures, and only then does she tell her brother that she knew the truth all
along. Ash and Jenna decide to work to
rebuild their relationship, but what will happen when Ash is faced with the
same situation again? This is the part
where it became a little unbelievable for me.
I can understand Jenna forgiving Ash the first time, but probably not
the second. Overall, though, I did like this
book.
I Hope You Dance by Robin Lee Hatcher was my least favorite book
here. That really surprised me, because
I’ve liked several of her novels before.
However, the story of Skye and Grant wasn’t one for me. Skye has dreamed her whole life of a big
family, but so far she just hasn’t met the right man. When she’s asked to teach Grant private dance
lessons, they fall for one another right away and are engaged in a very short
time. She’s so excited because Grant is
from a large family, so she assumes he’ll also want a lot of kids. But Grant has always resented his large
family, and wants no children. Can they
come to a compromise, or will they give up on love? This story just seemed to happen so fast for
me. I didn’t think the characters were
well-developed, and I didn’t really like them at all.
The
last novella, Love on a Deadline is
one that I’ve read and reviewed before, and I did like it. Mac is writing a newspaper article about the
wedding of her old nemesis, Hollis. She
keeps getting thrown together with Hollis’ older brother, Ethan, who was her
first crush. Maybe this time around it
can be more than a crush…
Kiss the Bride is a nice summer read that I recommend for long
car trips, or sitting on the beach (or by the kiddy pool!). I think it’s one you’ll enjoy.
Happy
Reading!

I received a free copy of this book
from the publisher in exchange for my review.
All opinions are my own and a favorable review was not required. Kiss
the Bride is on sale now.
