It seems THE SASSY BELLES, Blake OHara Heart and Vivi Ann McFadden, are at it again, Stuck in the middle of chaos, murder, mystery, and mayhem that is interfering with the WEDDING BELLES being planned by Vivi and the love of her life, Lewis Heart, famous playbyplay announcer for the Crimson Tide from Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
There is a conflict when it is learned the scheduled wedding is being planned for the same day as the wildly popular Crimson Tide Kickoff Game,
WEDDING BELLES by Beth Albright is another sassy, exciting, and fun read, Wellwritten, WEDDING BELLES brings with it a huge dose of agitation for Vivi and Lewis when they discover that there is still another glitch in their wedding plans, With Vivi being seven months pregnant, there is little time to waste, It seems an old flame of Lewiss is back in the picture, which could mean the end of Vivis marriage before it even begins,
Along with these problems come the wild Fru Fru Affair boys, the wedding planners who struggle to make the best of a chaotic situation, together with psychic interference from a local living in a nearby trailer park.
Through it all is Blake, the maid of honor, who has problems of her own, and is trying to help her overly stressed friend, Vivi, hold it together while she seeks answers to a murder, tries remaining under the radar so her husband, Harry, can win the Senate seat, yet still find time for the love of her own life, Sonny Bartholomew, who is patiently waiting for her in the background.
WEDDING BELLES by Beth Albright does not disappoint, Picking up where THE SASSY BELLES left off, WEDDING BELLES is a fun, romantic romp through Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with its share of southern charm and hospitality, not to mention some great recipes that are sure to whet your appetites.
Albrights talent for originality and writing is evident as she creates yet another exciting, yet mysterious blend of suspense, chaos, and outright fun, WEDDING BELLES is a delightful page turner, filled with unique, sometimes crazy characters that are sure to bring a smile to your face,
It is easy to relate to the stress Vivi feels as she struggles to maintain her composure when her world seems to be falling apart around her.
After all the problems she encountered in the first book of this series, THE SASSY BELLES, it is easy for the reader to be empathetic to her plight in WEDDING BELLES.
After finally getting her man, she is beside herself when she learns how far away Lewis truly is, once an old flame comes back into his life, A flame that is ready to scorch all of Vivis plans for the future,
As always, Beth is the coolheaded one, an attorney who is trying to handle a baffling murder case while dealing with her friend Vivis problems,
As before, there is plenty of conflict in WEDDING BELLES, not just for Vivi, but for Blake as well, It seems an old thorn is intent on wreaking havoc in her life as well as trying to wreck her husbands political career before it starts,
The Fru Fru Affair boys are an absolute delight and add a lot of humorous twists to WEDDING BELLES, I especially love the part, too, where the chickens come into play, That was so comical. I could just picture that and had a good laugh over it,
The romance between Arthur and Bonita was unexpected and added a nice heartwarming feel to WEDDING BELLES,
WEDDING BELLES is full of interesting plot twists and turns which will keep the reader easily interested in seeing how everything turns out in the end, Southern charm is found from covertocover in this wonderful tale, not to mention some mystery and lots of frolicking entertainment,
Albright clearly has written another winner, one that will help us romp through the remaining summer days with pleasure and expectation, Her next story, SLEIGH BELLES, will be out in September,, and Im eager to read more of THE SASSY BELLES, to experience more of their chaotic adventures and, hopefully, meet Vivis new baby.
This is an objective review and not an endorsement of this book, I loved this book! This is the second book in the Belles series Vivi is finally getting married to her prince charming Lewis Heart and she and her best friend Blake OHara are fixin for the wedding of the century! Theyve got amazing event planners to work with and family and friends helping them.
All the characters were a hoot, even Dallas who could be annoying to some, There was so much support and family and in spite of everything going on, my heart was filled with joy and excitement, I was rooting for Vivi and Lewis from the get go It was filled with Southern charm and love, I cant wait to start reading Sleigh Belles The Sassy Belles are back and yes, readers I have found myself once again reading this series out of order by going Books,and then.
In Wedding Belles , we see it time for the tying the knot of Vivi and Lewis Heart lovers for the pastyears , these two have had a hold on each other and now with Vivi pregnant with Baby Heart it's finally time to settle down and do things properly.
Things are going to plan until Vivi makes a trip to the local psychic who tells her that she has to be wary of another woman who has her man's heart.
Normally, you can just shrug off what psychics say but this town's psychic seems to be always pretty bang on and as it turns out thirteen years ago at a frat party at what seemed like a prank at the time happens to be real and Lewis married a girl.
To make matters worse, it seems the woman in question is back in town and she doesn't seem to give up what should as she quotes "be rightfully hers".
Can Vivi keep a hold of her husband to be or will she have to play second fiddle to his "wife" Harry and Blake Heart are still for Harry's sake playing the happily married and supportive couple , though they have separated and Blake is seeing her high school sweetheart Sonny.
How long can Harry and Blake keep up appearances especially with news reporter and Blake's archnemesis Dallas hanging around for a scoop
Like the first and last book, Wedding Belles is the perfect read for those who loved the TV Show Hart of Dixie with Zoe Hart and Lemon Breeland.
I had not read anything by this author before, but she came highly recommended by a friend who knows my reading tastes well, The story is a fastpaced, fun read, I actually listened to the audio book through audible, com. I felt the narrator did a great job capturing the warmth of the southern drawl, without overdoing it, I am from Alabama and lived in Tuscaloosa, ALthe Wedding Belles's main settingfor many years, So often authors make southern folks sound like there are no schools south of the Mason Dixon Line! I appreciate the humor of the book, I loved the references to big hair amp aqua net hairspray, Alabama Football, Coach Bear Bryant, southern BBQ and orange pineapple ice cream! I also appreciate the author's portrayal of intelligent, funny, classy southern women! I am looking forward to seeing the author's other books on audible.
com soon, I hope! Well done and ROLL TIDE, Ms, Albright! Everything you want for an easy summer read! Absolutely loved the Southern setting, colourful characters and humour!
Now I need to read the first and third book in this collection didnt realised it was the second book!! "TOP PICK! The Sassy Belles are back and sassier than ever! These steel magnolias show us just what it's really like living as a Southern belle in a cradletograve football town.
With clever dialogue and richly drawn characters, Albright shows once again she's a naturalborn storyteller, who knows how to pen a charming tale, Regardless of gameday colors worn, this sexy and fun Southern series will have readers coming back for more!" RT Book s, rated/stars
