Weddings are about dreams come true, the happily ever after
ending or beginning of a new life together with your ideal
perfect soul mate. But what happens when that dream comes
crashing to a sudden halt. Both parties are left adrift
with wounds that seem almost impossible to heal. Love is
the reason why people get married. But what happens when
love just isn't enough. What happens when the elusive thing
you are really looking for is trust and truly unconditional
love. Holly Jacobs has taken a real and heart wrenching
look at how life colors our choices with this story that
grabs your heart. A WALK DOWN THE AISLE is part three of a
wedding series that is probably one of the best I've ever
read. Each absolutely stands on its own merit, but it's
been a delight to attend each one.
Sophia and her cowboy Colton have been winning our hearts
for quite a while. This was supposed to be their wedding
day. Everything was going to be just perfect. Sophia
couldn't imagine finding anyone more suited to be her
husband then this man who had become her best friend. She
loved him with all her heart which surprised her no end.
You see Sophia had always assumed she would never get
married. People she loved had always broken her heart,
actually shattered it and left her to put together the
pieces of her life, the best way she could totally on her
own and alone. Maybe it was safer being alone. It meant
protecting your heart from the abject pain from the
disappointment brought on by those that summarily misuse
your trust and love.
As a pregnant teenager Sophia had to learn a harsh but
valuable lesson to never depend on anyone to help. Her
parents weren't at all concerned with the consequences of
their decisions for the child their daughter was going to
have. They were adamant that the baby be put up for
adoption. Sophia had no means to support herself and her
child; she was still just a teenager. The father had
deserted her. Her parents quite simply with this very
important decision mapped out the future of their daughter.
It was more important to maintain appearances, feelings be
damned.
Fast forward to her wedding day -- the last person Sophia
ever expected at her wedding was the little girl she gave
up for adoption so many years ago. This young lady had come
looking for answers. She had been quite fortunate with her
adoptive parents but still needed to know more about who
she was.
This was a secret Colton just couldn't get passed. It
tested his trust of this woman who was his heart and in
spite of his feelings for Sophia he put up an instant wall.
As far as Sophia was concerned this was just another
example of people disappointing her even though she fully
admitted keeping this secret. Colton had no way to explain
why his reaction was so visceral and now that he has had
time to think he realizes what a great mistake he has made.
Problem now is to regain that trust with Sophia.
Each installment in this series becomes my new favorite. I
guess I'm just fickle. A WALK DOWN THE AISLE is a really
terrific engaging
story that grabs your heart and doesn't let go. If you
haven't yet read Holly Jacobs this series is a wonderful
introduction.
