It Had To Be You - Review

Get ready for a double dose of wedding frenzy!

Bella couldn't be happier that two of her long-feuding relatives have finally admitted their love for one another and are getting married. Their forties-style wedding is sure to be a night to remember. But when the Rossi house begins to fill up with family from Italy--and an old mobster from New Jersey--life starts to get complicated. Will a friend from the past drive the happy couple apart once more? And will Bella ever have time to think of her own rapidly approaching wedding amid the chaos?

Full of humor, plenty of Italian passion, and a bit of Texas gumption, It Had to Be You will have you laughing out loud and wiping a tear from your eye.

My Review: I had not read the previous two books in this series, in fact when I agreed to read this book and write a review about it I didn't even know there was a series. I read the book description and saw that it had to do with an Italian family and jumped on it! I am full-blooded and knew I would love it and I did! The book was incredibly adorable! I absolutely loved Rosa and Laz! They reminded me of Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman. All of their joking around and their love of food just seemed to fit them. You could smell the food through the pages, something Italians are known for. Bella, and D.J. were just as fun and delightful! I found this book to be a light entertaining read. The message was so clear, and I liked how Ms Thompson presented it without being preachy; that keeping yourself until your married is so completely important no matter how old you are. This book could be read as a stand alone it was easy to follow along. I highly recommend this book.
