About the book:
What if what you
thought was your biggest mistake was actually the right choice?
Vanessa Hollister
is newly engaged and planning an elegant Florida destination wedding. Now if
she can only dodge the memories of her first “What was I thinking?” marriage to
Logan Hollister.
Logan and Vanessa
met during their senior year of high school when she moved to Florida because
her father was stationed at the local military base. Having the same last name
threw Vanessa and Logan together, and Logan’s friendship helped Vanessa get
past being the new girl in school – again. Within months, the two
eighteen-year-olds had eloped, a crazy, impulsive decision spurred on by
Vanessa’s heartbreak at the looming possibility of moving one more time. They
truly believed they could make their teenage marriage work, but in less than
two years, they divorced because of competing dreams and unresolved
expectations.
Eight years
later, Vanessa is stunned to meet Logan on their favorite stretch of beach in
Destin, Florida. When a hurricane hits the Gulf Coast, she and Logan seek
safety at the same hurricane shelter and end up battling unexpected renewed
feelings for each other. Now they have to answer the question: Was their
impetuous adolescent marriage a mistake? Or are they wrong to not seize a
second chance at a life together?
Wedding bells and
storm clouds collide in the first engaging novel of a brand-new series about
destination weddings, and the power of love, and the mishaps and missteps that
happen on a couple’s journey down the aisle to “I do.”
My review:
This is a
delightful contemporary romance!
I fell in love
with both Vanessa Hollister and Logan Hollister as soon as I met them. Their
high school friendship/romance is the stuff that dreams are made of. Then
things fell apart. Years later they are both struggling with regrets and second
guessing choices that they have made over the years.
They are both
such wonderfully realistic and human characters that I’ve met through the pages
of a book. They are also surrounded with supportive and caring family and
friends that are trying their hardest to help them sort out the past and move
into the future that God has for them. On that journey they each have to find a
way for ask for forgiveness, forgive themselves and others, and trust God. It
is an incredible journey and I thoroughly enjoyed going on it with them.
As an Air Force
veteran and wife who dealt with lots of moves, thanks to the military, I liked reading
Vanessa’s viewpoint on all the moves as a child who’s dad was in the Air Force.
It helped me to understand better what my children went through.
