The Wedding Dress Christmas (Paperback)

“From every dark moment, from every trial, every happy moment. I've been here all along.” Rachel Hauck writes emotional heartfelt novels with beautiful characters and message of freedom. This novella is no exception. It is a part of The Wedding Collection series but can definitely be read as a stand-alone (and is not a dual-timeline plot). For those who have been following the series, revisiting the characters from previous books through this one will bring all the nostalgic warmth and fuzzy feelings. If you're a fan of contemporary romance, you don't want to miss this novella. JoJo and Buck, high school best friends, return to their hometown of Hearts Bend, TN for different reasons but end up falling for each other. JoJo has a lot of baggage that she needs to let go and Buck has some insecurity issues that he needs to deal with. Their journey is helped by a wonderful cast of characters who will have you falling in love with Hearts Bend. The ambiance of the Wedding Dress Shop (where JoJo works) during Christmas time will have you sighing with the romance of it all. And the mysterious aura of THE wedding dress will bring you into the other-worldliness of love.
