Book Review: Wedding Belles
Some of my favorite authors have joined together on a unique project presenting four connected novellas. Each one of the books presents a different couple, but builds on the same setting and backdrop as the rest of the books. It was really fun!
I loved that the novellas were set in Charleston, SC. I have always wanted to visit there and this gave me a little glimpse into how wonderful the culture and places truly would be to see firsthand!
The first story is about Harper and Zak and it was hard to put down! They were so cute and funny with just the right amount of angst. It was the perfect opener. (My favorite part was the carnival ride. Zak was so embarrassed and his way to make it up to Harper was sweet.) I think they were my favorite couple, but it was hard to choose!
Then we go to Janie and Emmett, a sweet second chance romance. Who wouldn't want to be able to see if things really could work out with their high school crush? I loved how Janie was living her dream and knew Emmett so well already and he really saw the real Janie (and had in high school as well). (Janie's sister was a bit of a killjoy, but it was understandable with her circumstances.) Both of the main characters were really relatable as they sorted through all the feelings on their journey to love.
The third part was Lily and Deacon. This one was emotional, but had several laugh out loud moments and will definitely have you up late reading to see if they find their happily-ever-after! They just have some really great chemistry and while they did have a lot of things to work through, it was a sweet story.
The fourth one was so swoon-worthy and fun. I loved seeing how Sutton and Max connected and had to try so hard to find their way back to each other. They had some really difficult trials! But I loved seeing a bit of all the other characters at the end and have the ending that ties everything together. Loved it.
Each author really outdid themselves in providing a sweet romance that had just the right amount of details and a fleshed out story. Sometimes in novellas that is not the case, but this book balanced that perfectly. Really well done.

Wedding Belles
A clean and wholesome romantic comedy told in four parts.
Harper is an event planner with dreams of taking over the Charleston wedding scene . . . until she meets the biggest Bridezilla of her career. She needs the job, but the only way to keep it is to hire a temperamental chef with big dreams of his own. Can Zak’s passion for brilliant food save the wedding? Or will the sparks flying between Harper and Zak burn them both?
Janie is a classical cellist booked to play a posh Charleston wedding. She’s excited to have the lucrative gig until the groom’s brother, Emmett, shows up and asks her to help him play a song he wrote for the happy couple. The only trouble? Emmett is her former high school crush and never did anything but ignore Janie. When chemistry sizzles between them, will Janie have the courage to move beyond past hurts and embrace an unpredictable future?
Lily has been Dahlia's best friend, partner-in-crime, and now her maid of honor . . . until suddenly there's no wedding, and she's left to clean up Dahlia's biggest mess of all. She's been friends with Deacon, the jilted groom, for just as long, and it's up to her rescue him after Hurricane Dahlia blows through. But as their friendships deepen, so do their feelings. Can she trust their growing chemistry, or is this another disaster waiting to happen?
Sutton is a photographer running from her past. Only the pleas from her best friend to photograph her wedding could bring Sutton back to Charleston. Her plan is to get in and get out before her ex knows she and their daughter are in town. Before she can leave Charleston behind for good, she meets Max , who turns out to be the safe place she didn’t know she was looking for. She’s finally ready to quit running, if only she can find him again…
