Wedding bells and storm
clouds collide in the first engaging novel in a brand-new series about
destination weddings, the power of love, and the possible mishaps and
missteps that happen on a couple’s journey down the aisle to “I do.”
Paramedic
Vanessa Hollister has put her adolescence behind her, including the
unwanted label of being the new kid in town over and over again, thanks
to her father’s military career. She’s overcome what her mother called
“the biggest mistake of her life” and is planning an elegant destination
wedding in Destin, Florida with her new fiancé. But will the
reappearance of her first husband from her what-were-you-thinking
teenage elopement disrupt her dream of an idyllic beach wedding?
As
a professional storm chaser, Logan Hollister is used to taking risks.
However, a reckless decision during the last tornado season has him
questioning the future of his team, the Stormmeisters. Coming face to
face with his ex-wife eight years after their divorce compels him to
confront his greatest regret: losing Vanessa. Does their past give him
the right to interfere with her future?
Vanessa and Logan are
faced with a choice: Should they accept, once and for all, their teenage
marital mistake? Or is God offering them a second chance at happily
ever after?
Beth K. Vogt is a non-fiction author and editor who said she'd
never write fiction. She's the wife of an Air Force family physician
(now in solo practice) who said she'd never marry a doctor--or anyone in
the military. She's a mom of four who said she'd never have kids. Now
Beth believes God's best often waits behind the doors marked "Never." A
2014 Carol Award finalist, Beth is a contemporary romance novelist with
Howard Books. Her 2014 novel, Somebody Like You, is one of Publisher's
Weekly's Best Books of 2014. Her e-novella, A November Bride, is part of
Zondervan's A Year of Wedding Series. Beth enjoys writing contemporary
romance because she believes there's more to happily-ever-after than the
fairy tales tell us. She lives in Colorado with her husband Rob, who
has adjusted to discussing the lives of imaginary people, and their
youngest daughter, Christa, who's taking them through the teen years
again. An established magazine writer and former editor of Connections,
the leadership magazine for MOPS International, Beth is also part of the
leadership team for My Book Therapy, the writing community founded by
best-selling author Susan May Warren.
My Thoughts:
Being a Navy brat, I could definitely identify with Vanessa. We didn't move that often however, we moved the summer of my sophomore year of high school from California to Florida. I started my junior year at a new high school knowing no one, and like Vanessa I bumped into a senior football player walking down the hallway.
Beth placed this book in Destin, Florida, a place I knew nothing about. Vanessa plans her destiny wedding in Destin because it kills two birds with one stone. Her fiance` Ted is a ER Dr. and there is a medical conference the same weekend they want to get married. The last place Vanessa wants to be is in Destin because of all the memories of her and Logan. When a hurricane hits Destin forget trees flying, emotions are high and flying too.
This book was fun, I was glued to the pages from the first page. It was full of surprises that kept you glued to your seat. I was sad to see it end, I wanted to spend more time with these new friends. This is a perfect summer book, and I highly recommend it!
