Stacy's Wedding
(Heartsong Presents)
As a professional wedding planner, Stacy Thompson has seen the best, and the worst, in love-everything from the joyous couples to towering wedding cakes toppled by unsteady caterers. Then she meets Max Edwards and finds herself in the whirl of romance. Her fear of a serious relationship is a collision course with the overwhelming attraction he stirs in her whenever their gazes meet. But as Max and Stacy get acquainted, they each struggle with personal fears and real communication. When the revelation of a well-hidden secret threatens to shatter the foundation of their developing love, will their growing honesty strengthen their love, or will Stacy's dream wedding disappear in the harsh light of reality?

Always the bride's wedding planner, never the bride. So it is for Stacy and her thriving career coordinating other people's nuptials. Her history with a certain, recurring problem in romance has made her leery of getting into a serious relationship—even with a (perfect?) man like Max in Stacy's Wedding by author Aisha Ford.
Okay, so what I may love most about this story (besides the fact that Stacy and Max are book lovers!) is that it's so '90s. Pagers, answering machines, and this thing called the Internet that feels more new and cutting edge than commonplace. Granted, I probably didn't need so much of the online book group chat in a bookish chat room, since not all the book chat details are necessary to the Stacy-and-Max plot. But the book group's overall tie-in is a good one.
Plus, a nice portion in the middle of the romance takes place over the holidays, and I'm quite the Christmas fan.
This tale is written in a simple style, though maybe a bit too simple or corny in places where it could have been more original. Besides that, I would've liked the romance to have a deeper conflict, as it seems the couple's main issue is how they resort to rather juvenile behavior over misunderstandings. It's not the kind of thing that makes me feel the characters are ready to make lifelong relationship commitments soon.
But at least the hero and heroine here recognize their behavior for what it is, after the fact. It's not completely like romances where couples act like adolescents all book long, then to squeeze the altar in before the book is over, they make up without any thought or decision to grow up.
I first read this ChristFic novel maybe over a decade ago, and overall, I enjoyed the reread. I'm looking forward to revisiting a few more of this author's books.

I read this book in 2016. Just decided to check it out online, and drop a review. Yeah, I liked it a lot! Wish I could read it again.🙂
