ISLAND BREEZES

Beautiful Bella.  What messes this lady manages to get herself into.  And the family.  Quirky is definitely the best word for this bunch.  The Rossis and the Neeleys continue to mix it up while Bella is in the midst of creating her first Renaissance themed wedding.
Toss in the yummy Hollywood leading man, the paparazzi, Bubba in tights, a cooking show, the FBI, a story cruise and surprise romance.  Mix it all up and be prepared for for things to boil over a time or two before the story is done.  Serve up with laughter and delight, and look for dessert at the end of the book with Sister Jolene’s tips. 
Okay, Janice.  When are you serving up the next wedding for us?
The 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.  Did you ever figure it out?  These titles are connected in the same way.  If you figure it out and are the first to post, the offer for a surprise package from me still stands.  No one came up with it last time.

**************************************

In this latest release from Thompson, Bella Rossi’s life is nearing perfection. She’s got the perfect guy, she’s running a successful business, and she’s about to plan her most ambitious wedding yet, a Renaissance-themed fairy tale come true, complete with period costumes and foods, horse-drawn carriages, and even a castle. There’s just one hitch. The best man just happens to be Brock Benson, Hollywood’s hottest and most eligible bachelor. Oh, and did we mention he’s staying at the Rossi house to avoid the paparazzi?

 

With all the pressure surrounding this wedding, Bella’s not sure she’s going to make it through. Add her starstruck sister, her feuding aunt and uncle, and a trio of large, sequined church ladies with even bigger personalities, and you’ve got a recipe for disaster—and a lot of laughs. This hilarious romantic comedy is sure to delight both fans and new readers alike.

 

Janice Thompson is a seasoned romance author and native Texan.  An experienced wedding coordinator herself, Thompson brings alive in her books the everyday drama and humor of getting married.  She is the author of Fools Rush In and lives in Texas.

    […] Rossi and Neeley clans and the assorted extended/adopted family members. Do you remember what was special about the chapter titles? It’s the same with this book only, Dino and Frankie aren’t included […]
