What you might need to know: ***Spoilers*** In January Hope by Kari Trumbo Cleo was in a car accident which molded how she approached her life. In Braver with You by Jaycee Weaver Ashlyn’s father died in a tragic accident while he was trying to find her after she wandered away from the camp during a family camping trip. In Countdown to Her Cowboy Wedding by Shoshanna Gabriel premarital sex and miscarriage are mentioned. **** I was given the opportunity to read four of the novellas in this collection: January Hope by Kari trumbo starts off the collection with Cleo whose love for vintage clothing leaves her searching for the perfect wedding dress, only she does not want it for herself, she wants it to further her career. This was an interesting story, with Cleo needing the help of Lowell, head of a rival museum. This was a short story that had a lot packed into it. Braver with You by Jaycee Weaver also deals with some heavy topics and a major case of Mother of the Bridezilla. It is interesting to watch Ashlyn and Conrad navigate their engagement and anxiety over change. One Vow for September by Liwen Ho was a super cute story. September suddenly has to work with Tristan to plan their vow renewal, the only problem is that they aren’t married or even dating, they are just coworkers. This was such a cute and funny story. I loved the electricity between the two main characters. Countdown to her Cowboy Wedding by Shoshanna Gabriel gave me all the feels, what on the surface seems to be a sweet story of childhood friends getting married has so many deeper threads that are unfolded with the story. This story was hard for me to read at times, and I found Katie to be a much more forgiving person than I feel like I would be. I enjoyed the stories that I read and would not hesitate to read more from these authors or from this collection. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Celebrate Lit, this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own. MY REVIEW January Hope by Kari Trumbo This is a wonderful story of Cleo who has an eye for historical artifacts.it was sad that she had locked herself away and mostly just worked, went home to sew and attend church every Sunday and Wednesday. The dress she sees in a magazine sounded exquisite and I wanted to try it on myself. When Lowell enters her life, he was a breath of fresh air. I loved his patience with Cleo and how he wanted to help her come out of her shell. I really enjoyed getting to know them better and following them as they start to develop a friendship. The author does a great job of giving us characters that are relatable and east to like. Just when Cleo needed it most, God brought someone into her life to have her overcome her fear and be more confident. One Vow For September by Liwen Ho Oh my is this a fun story to read. Two people who really don’t get along find themselves working together on a story that changes them forever. I loved the idea of these two characters pretending to be married in order to do research for their assignment. The author does a great job of scattering faith elements throughout the story as these two maneuver through a series of laugh out loud situations. I loved the lighthearted feel of the story and how the characters become friends. The concept of renewing your wedding vows does take on a feel of getting married as these two find out. I enjoyed following them as they went to the vendors to taste test wedding cakes, but my favorite was when they went to the jewelers. This part is where I really saw how two people can find happiness if they listen to their heart and follow God. It’s a great story filled with trust and finding true love. Braver With You by Jaycee Weaver While this story is about a wedding it is also about being strong and trusting God. Ashlyn and Conrad are preparing for their big day while trying to deal with a mother who likes to be in control of everything. There is a back story that made me understand Ashlyn’s mother better. After a tragedy years ago, Ashlyn and her mother are still trying to overcome their pain. I liked how supportive and encouraging Conrad is as they get closer to the wedding. He knows Ashlyn’s mother is demanding but with his faith he is able to give her grace. The story is emotional at times and I so wanted Ashlyn to face her past. Her breakthrough comes as they are in pre marital counseling. Living with guilt has caused Ashlyn to be afraid to speak up. I loved how the author uses this story to illustrate how to trust God and let go of the past. The beautiful example of forgiving is well represented as two families join together to heal from the past and celebrate the wedding of two faith filled people. Countdown To Her Cowboy’s Christmas Wedding by Shoshanna Gabriel Oh this story made me cry so much. It is a real look at two people who have known each other forever. Kate and Jay have been best friends forever. They get along and help each other out. It was fun to read about Kate’s chickens and how much she enjoyed caring for them. Jay is always around to help her with things and I think sometimes Kate may be taking Jay for granted. When one thing leads to another, they decide to get married but little does Jay know that Kate has kept a secret since high school. Little by little that secret begins to bother Kate. How can she marry her best friend knowing that she has not forgiven him for something that happened between them? It is easy for some of us to bury our hurt and never deal with it. God forgives us but we don’t always forgive each other. The author delivers a great story about forgiveness and being honest with each other. Kate and Jay must deal with the past before they can become one. The emotions are realistic as Kate faces the truth about something she has kept buried for so long. Their love will be tested as the story tackles a sensitive subject for some. I loved the ending and how the author uses this story to show how forgiveness frees us from pride and bitterness. I only received four of the stories but I look forward to purchasing The whole set so I read the other stories and review them. I enjoyed the ones I read and found a great message in each one of them. I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Whether you want to just read one at a time or binge read the entire book, these stories provide an interesting distraction from day-to-day activities. Books like this, I prefer to binge read if time and opportunity allow; however, I also recognize the enjoyment that comes from spreading out the stories a bit. So if you love weddings and reading about brides, grooms, and those who surround them, check out this collection for yourself.
