Picture Perfect
Weddings by
Design Series - #1
By Janice Thompson
Known for her contagious
humor and cast of quirky characters, Janice Thompson gives her fans more of the
bridal business drama in a brand-new series all about those long-suffering
people who make beautiful weddings happen. Picture Perfect is the first in the
new series and brings our favorite character, Bella, back in a big way, while
introducing new characters readers will love. Fans will laugh out loud as they
experience this breezy and entertaining novel from a great storyteller.
Feisty wedding
photographer Hannah McDermott has dealt with her share of difficult brides. But
none can compare to the ultimate Bridezilla she's dealing with now. Still,
she's trying desperately to impress Bella Neeley, Galveston Island's most
sought-after wedding planner, so she can take the top spot in Bella's list of
recommended photographers--a spot currently occupied by her arch-rival, Drew
Kincaid. What she doesn't count on, however, is falling head over heels for the
competition.
Janice Thompson is a seasoned romance
author and screenwriter. An expert at pulling the humor from the situations we
get ourselves into, Thompson offers an inside look at the wedding business,
drawing on her own experiences as a wedding planner. She is the author of the
Weddings by Bella series and the Backstage Pass series. She lives in Texas.
Here's my review of this wonderful work of fiction:
First of all, I would like to extend
a heartfelt “Thank you” to Janice Thompson and her publisher for sending me a copy
of "Picture Perfect" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this
generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a
reviewer copy available to me.
“Picture
Perfect” by Janice Thompson is the first novel in her brand new Weddings by
Design Series. This sweet love story
takes place on Galveston Island, Texas surrounding the wedding of a celebrity
that Hannah McDermott has been hired to photograph. Hannah struggles with always coming in
second, so the success of this wedding and her relationship with Bella Neely’s
Club Wed could make or break her career.
Bella
and D.J. Neely and the entire Rossi clan from the Weddings by Bella series make
a significant appearance as does Brock Benson from Thompson’s Backstage Pass
series, but surprisingly these characters don’t steal the show. Hannah proves to be her own reckoning
force. She is a solid character with
lots of quirks and carries this book as its leading lady with style. Drew Kincaid, Hannah’s competition in the
photography business, is a charming leading man who proves to be a stabilizer.
Maybe
I enjoyed this book so much because I can relate so well to Hannah. Plagued by dramatic ideas that her
arch-nemesis from high school is still dogging her lead her to tackle some
deep-seated issues with gusto. Hannah is
truly inspiring. This is a great book to
take on vacation or to enjoy over a weekend.
