My Thoughts

This cover is simply gorgeous! I immediately snatched it up, didn’t even read the blurb to see what was inside, and dove right in! (I am not suffering from a book addiction, I’m enjoying every minute of it!) My careful selection methods yielded three new to me authors and three fabulous stories! These novellas are so good that I can’t even begin to pick a favorite.

Jenna and Ashton’s story is rooted in forgiveness and trust. Grant and Skye share a love of horses and the outdoors but their difference of opinion on a crucial issue leads to heartache and soul-searching. MacKenzie and Ethan reminisce about their high school days while scrambling to create a dream wedding for his sister.

I enjoyed the focus on the behind the scenes wedding helpers and I’d love to get my hands on the rest of this series! (Psst! Don’t miss the giveaway link at the end of the post!) I’ll be looking for more titles by Melissa, Robin, and Kathryn so please make some recommendations for me in the comments.

I requested the opportunity to read and review this book through NetGalley. The opinions expressed are my own.

About the Authors

With a degree in mechanical engineering from Stanford University, Melissa McClone worked for a major airline where she traveled the globe and met her husband. But analyzing jet engine performance couldn’t compete with her love of writing happily ever afters.

Since then, she has published over thirty-five romance novels with Harlequin and Tule Publishing Group.

Melissa lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, three school-aged children, two spoiled Norwegian Elkhounds and cats who think they rule the house. They do!

Kathryn Springer, winner of the 2009 ACFW Carol Award (Family Treasures), grew up in a small town in northern Wisconsin, where her parents published a weekly newspaper. As a child, she spent many hours sitting at her mother’s typewriter, plunking out stories, and credits her parents for instilling in her a love of books – which eventually turned into a desire to tell stories of her own.

After a number of busy years, when she married her college sweetheart and became a stay-at-home mom, Kathryn rediscovered her love for writing. An unexpected snow day from school became the inspiration for a short story, which she submitted to Brio magazine. She went on to publish over a dozen more short stories for Brio, but it wasn’t until her youngest child started school that she decided to pursue her dream to write a novel.

In August 2004, her Love Inspired® debut novel, Tested by Fire, was published. Encouraging women in their faith journey is the reason Kathryn loves to write inspirational fiction. She hosts a women’s Bible study in her home and volunteers in a local MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) ministry. When she isn’t at the computer, you’ll find her curled up with a good book, spending time with family and friends or walking on the trails near her country home.
