EVERY BRIDE HAS HER DAY is the second story in Lynnette
Austin's Magnolia Brides series and it's simply
fabulous.
This richly delicious tale centers on a fabulous group of
young men and women who have a vision to help bring back
the viability of their small town. Misty Bottoms is a
wondrous place where industrious, smart, sassy friends
have an idea to create a wedding venue destination. One
business at a time.
Each story so far has starred some very endearing folks
and so now we are favored with Sam DeLuca and Cricket
O'Malley. They couldn't be more different, and yet Lynnette
Austin brilliantly teamed them up for a glorious story
about finding love and more important finding home.
Cricket is just getting her business Enchanted Florist off
the ground. She is a genius with her flower designs and a
natural addition to the Magnolia wedding venue. Actually
Cricket brings more than just flowers to Misty Bottoms.
She is a source of fresh air and delight. A loving, bright
spirit which is infused in all her creations. And most
important Cricket has become a valued and loved member of
this small community.
Sam DeLuca is a big city policeman who just narrowly
escaped death during his last case. Sam has arrived under
a black cloud and he is determined to keep to himself.
After all it's his business and no one needs to know
anything about him. His visit is temporary. All he intends
to do is fix up his Aunt's house and get it ready for
market.
Sam is determined to keep everyone at arm's length.
Cricket is just as determined to help this man who she
sees as a lonely man. Never underestimate a woman with a
mission.
EVERY BRIDE HAS HER DAY is filled with some of the best
characters and Lynnette Austin brings them to life through
engaging dialog. Admittedly I have been reading this
series totally out of order and it does not affect the
enjoyment with each and every one of them. All three books
stand on their own. This series is sure to garner a
devoted fan base for Lynnette Austin. After all who
doesn't enjoy a story about love and acceptance?
CAN LOVE REVIVE A WILTING HEART?
Cricket O’Malley can’t wait to plant roots back home in
Georgia, where she’s returned to restore an abandoned flower
shop to its former glory. The only blemish? Her neighbor’s
house is even more neglected than her old flower shop, and
its occupant seems as surly as he is darkly handsome.
Devastated body and soul after a tough case went south, New
York City detective Sam DeLuca thought he’d have no trouble
finding solitude in the quiet Georgia town of Misty Bottoms,
but his bubbly neighbor seems determined to shine happiness
into Sam’s life. Sam is equally determined to close himself
off, but his heart says otherwise…
