This is the second book I've read by Diann Hunt and I thought it could have been a lot better. Predictable and really drawn out, this book could have been written in 100 pages. I get the sense her other books will be similar with the character chick flick drama, all big misunderstandings that couldve just been solved if people actually talked to one another, or completely on the other side of the spectrum with one character doing something inappropriate and no one calls them on it, they just sta...more
Oiy! This book just oozed icky from the onset. I can't believe I finished it.
Wendy, is finally settling back into the swing of things after her husband dies a tragic death while mountain climbing. She has two grown children who are on their own.
Suddenly, her life is tipped upside down when her daughter comes home after her own marriage seems to be faltering and then her dad moves in. Meanwhile, she's in an pointless "relationship" with Logan, who no one (me included) is crazy about.

True rating is probably at 2.5 stars. I did like it, however it WAS a little predictable and started getting way too religious for me toward the end. Ultimately went with three stars because it actually was kind of funny.
While I don't mind occassional references to religion, I am not interested in reading about people reconnecting with their god. Gotta say: if the religion was pushed that hard early on, I would have never finished reading the book. That all being said - it is classified as a Ch...more

This book was a quick read, but nothing awe-inspiring. Some of the drama that was set up seemed way too over the top in some places. Also I just didn't get the main character relationship with her hang around "friend", complete jerk who wanted more than what she was willing to give and constantly in her space. Definitely someone to have stick around.
A fun read. This is the second Diann Hunt book I've read and I really like this author. She creates endearing but very realistic characters. A Christian fictional book, that isn't preachy but faith based.
This was the first book I have read by Diann Hunt and I truly enjoyed it. It is one of those that is often referred to as a chicklit book. It had a serious side and a funny side in the book!
The ending seemed rather rushed though the whole book had an easygoing plot that flowed well. It was also nice to read about a middle-aged protagonist for a change.

a. This was just okay – not Diann Hunt’s best

Fun romance with middle aged couple falling in love.
This book is super cute! The storyline is easy to read and flows nicely. Its about a woman, Wendy, who owns a wedding chapel who lost her husband in an accident. Marco is a divorce attorney who buys the land next to Wendy's chapel to build a lodge. The story goes on exploring the dynamic of these different characters and their children, who are engaged. If you are looking for an easy read, I recommend this book!

Cute, entertaining...Not as good as Sisterchicks, though.
This was a wonderful story about self discovery and truly moving on. There is also a story about forgiveness.
There are fun moments that will make you laugh as well as some very touching moments that will make you cry. (Or at least I laughed and cried)
The first person who who leaves me a message on either Goodreads or Facebook with your mailing address I'll send you the copy of this book.

This was a light fluffy Christian romance that was a very quick read and enjoyable. Sure you could see the ending coming, but it was interesting to see how they interacted with each other and how their families and outside lives played a part in the storyline.
This was a good book. It was a quick read with a touching story. The characters were all interesting and funny in their own ways. Overall a very sweet story with a message of hope.

This was a good,quick & easy book to read.
The plot of the story was pretty cute overall, it lacked a bet in excusion though. The book was decently written, it just didn't grab me.
Nothing very original. Owner of a wedding chapel and a divorce attorney butt heads.
I liked this one alright...good escapism if nothing else.
