Fools Rush In

This is Janice Thompson’s first in the Weddings by Bella series, and I’m so glad that it won’t be her last. When I first started reading it, I thought it would be a bit of fluff. Was I ever wrong! I loved this book and all the quirky characters and crazy happenings. I want to be part of this family. I don’t even care which one. I’m ready to set out for Texas to find them.
It’s been good to find a book that I can love without that box of tissues handy. I’m looking forward to the second in the series, Swinging on a Star, which is due out in January. Right now you can read this great book. It will have you guessing what might be in the next one.
Oh, yes. If you figure out the connection of all the chapter titles, leave a comment. The first one to figure this out will receive a little surprise package from me.
Delightful Romantic Comedy for Readers
Italian beauty meets charming Texan
in this new heartwarming (and hilarious) fiction series
Fools Rush In is the printed page’s equivalent of a Hollywood romantic comedy hit, with its perfect blend of love and loads of laughter. Delivered by seasoned author Janice Thompson and her delightful cast of characters, Fools Rush In is the first book in the Weddings by Bella series, featuring a beautiful (albeit single) wedding planner, her boisterous Italian family and the antics they encounter with the family’s wedding-planning business.
In Fools Rush In, readers meet Bella Rossi, who may be nearing thirty, but her life is just starting to get interesting. When her Italian-turned-Texan parents hand over the family wedding planning business, Bella is determined not to let them down, transforming the business into one specializing in themed weddings. First up? A “Boot Scoot’n” country-western wedding that would make any Texan proud.

Fools Rush In Weddings by Bella #1 by Janice Thompson ISBN: 978-0-8007-3342-1 $12.99; September 2009 |
When a misunderstanding leads her to the DJ (and man) of her dreams, things 
start falling
into place. But with a family like hers, nothing is guaranteed. Can the perfect
Texan wedding survive a pizza-making uncle with mob ties, an aunt who is a
lawsuit waiting to happen, and a massive delivery of 80 cowboy boots? Will
Bella run the family business into the ground or will her family scare off the one
guy she’s set her heart on?
And will Bella ever get to plan her own wedding?
Book one in the Weddings by Bella series, Fools Rush In is fun, fresh, and full of surprises. Readers will love the flavorful combination of Italian and Tex-Mex, and the hilarity that ensues when cultures clash.
Janice Thompson is a seasoned romance author and native Texan. An experienced wedding coordinator herself, Thompson brings the everyday drama and humor of getting married alive in her books. She lives in Texas.

Thank you so much for the sweet review. I had such a blast writing this book. And to set it on Galveston Island was the icing on the cake. I was born and raised in the Houston area and Galveston has always been a vacation spot for us. Those chapter titles continue in the second book, by the way (but with a twist). Hope your readers figure it out!

Janice,
I’m glad you liked my review. I loved your book and definitely look forward to reading many more. You can develop a nice long series using this first book as the foundation. I’m looking forward even more to the second one now that I know you’re giving us a little puzzel with the chapter titles.

[…] chapter titles are special this book. If you remember my review for Fools Rush In, you know the titles in the first Weddings by Bella had something distinguishing connecting them. […]
