Start your review of Branna (Fleur de Lis Brides, #1)
I received a free book and voluntarily chose to review it. This is a book that tells of Branna and her possible wedding. There is barely anything I can say about this book without giving you spoilers. It takes place after Hurricane Katrina and Branna has many worries as she plans her wedding. Branna is what I would consider most women in her situation to be realistic.
Linda Joyce writes about the Gulf coast: the people, their land and their heritage. The Fleur de Lis Bride series is about 3 cousins Camilla, Branna and Biloxi. Now adults the women have returned home to accept their duties to their families and heritage. A little romance is woven into each story, a little suspense and a level of accomplishment. The Bride series could have had more developed characters and story line. I liked Bayou Bound in the Fleur de Lis series better.
"I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book." Loved this couple. They went through a lot before they could walk down the aisle but it was all great in the end. Love the girls in this series of books and so glad to be able to read of their weddings. I am anxiously awaiting the release of the other books in this series. A must read series.

This is a great book; this is the first book in the Fleur de Lis Brides series written by Linda Joyce. Branna Lind has found true love with James Newbern, but the winds of Hurricane Katrina have pushed their wedding date into an uncertain future. She can’t wait on Fleur de Lis to be restored to marry James. James is determined to protect Branna. Since their engagement, his gun toting ex-fiancée has been dipping into crazy. He’s certain she’ll settle down after the wedding, but when she steals Br

Branna and James had to postpone their wedding because of Hurricane Katrina. Unfortunately it has turned Branna into somewhat of a bridezilla and not the gracious person we met originally. Of course much of this can be blamed on pregnancy hormones, but still, I felt she was more of a spoiled brat than anything. Perhaps I am harsh, but it seemed like everyone else was inconvenienced by the storm and aftermath of work, but no one acted as poorly as she did.
Still I love the story of the brides and ...more

Fleur De Lis, what a beautiful home--until the hurricane damages it and delays Branna's wedding to James. So, what to do--helping with the restoration but there is a problem--something that keeps Branna from helping as much as she would like. As with most weddings the planning is very stressful--especially when you have a mother like Branna's. So Branna breaks down and wants to run away to Vegas to get married--but James knows that would actually leave her miserable. In the mean time they are st

Weddings always make me happy! But like the one in Branna, Fleur de lis Brides Series, there's a lot more going on in the background to make a ceremony happen than you think.
Branna truly has to get her house in order in more than one way after Hurricane Katrina to make this wedding happen. James is there to love her, encourage a little balance in her life, and work together to begin their new life in the best manner possible. They've got some good things coming.

Brenna and James are a loving couple that were supposed to be married but mother nature had other plans. Now two weeks before their wedding once again it seems fate has other plans that might put a stop to achieve their happy ending.
This book had some serious situation, some of them were left open making you wonder the conclusion, others you wanted to scream poor Brenna and wanting you help her. Don't get me wrong at the end the main plot was finished smoothly and with t ...more

Linda Joyce is one of my favorite authors. She writes with the reader totally in mind and her characters are simple people. The story line is always flowing and most of the time you never want to put down the book. With that said I loved Brannas story it was a wonderful story that something of hers got stolen and she had to have that for her wedding. We all have felt that way when we get married that something from a special person has given us and we wanted to take it down the aisle when we mar

Branna loves James and is definitely looking forward to their wedding. The only problem is that things aren't working out the way Branna wants and, she is turning into the clasic bridezilla. It may have something to do with the fact that James' ex-fiancé has lost her mind, is carrying a gun around and has stolen the heirloom pearls that Branna is to wear at her wedding. It may also have to do with the fact that Branna has decided to just drag her fiancé to Vegas and James is refusing. It's a bum

Given an ARC for voluntary review for netgalley. Branna and James were a great couple. Weddings are a hassle to begin with, just imagine having to deal with one after a storm hits! The poor couple have to deal with a crazy ex, her over bearing mother, it's enough to just want to elope, but James wants Branna to have her wedding, because he knows eventually that is what she will want, so he is determined to make it happen. True love at its finest.

What a delightful read! The author has such an elegant way with the written word, you are drawn into the book. The story line is remarkable and the characters have great connections with one another. A tragic event and a delusional ex can not destroy the love James and Branna have for one another. Fantastic read, don't miss this one!

With my wedding coming up soon, it was fun to read about someone else experiencing the "crazy" - even if it was fictional. I just loved Brianna & James so much. In fact everyone should have a James in their corner! Ladies, this one is a must give to anyone's soon-to-be hubby! Thank you NetGalley and Ms Joyce for giving me the opportunity to read and review!

Love all of Linda's books. Love this cover and the Louisiana theme as I am a La. resident so it makes it all the more relatable and special. Branna has made me anticipate the next Fleur De Lis bride book.

Branna would soon be married to her james. They had to cancel their Labor Day wedding because of Hurricane Katrina but they were about two weeks off now. The old Aunts needed to be brought home as they were confused at what was going on. Two weeks and Branna could go on her honeymoon then back to Florida. Go back to teaching communications at the community college, focus on her new husband,and preparing for their baby as Branna was already pregnant but no one knew yet. Biloxi would have camilla

Wedding woes.
An excellent book about planning a wedding where nothing is going how it's supposed to. We have a hurricane and a crazy ex that need to get in the past before a future with a happily ever after could be possible.
I love the great flow of words written by this talented author. I'm looking forward to continuing this awesome series. So good!
