My pleasure, Hayley! This story was part of the "A Year of Weddings" Novella series, but they're all written by diffe..."

LOL. No worries about blabbering at all! Thank you for such a in depth input. So, the books prior to this aren't necessary to read unless I want to? I'll have to purchase this book if I wanna read it so I'm gonna see how much it is. I don't mind Christian Fiction/Romance at all. I'm a Christian, so, of course, I don't mind reading about it whatsoever!

Nope, not necessary at all, it is definitely a stand alone book! I just checked Amazon.com (I have a Kindle, so I always check there first), and the book is currently at $3.79, which is what I paid for it when it came out. Like I mentioned, some of the others tie into other series but this series itself is not connected to one another.

Yes, post 136. Was in a hurry to post while I was at work and didn't reread what I wrote.

I'm betting Online Elf only undated Post #136 and not both it and Post #3, as usual.
