This is the first book in the series. The other three are Swinging on a Star, It Had to Be You and That's Amore.
Bella is preparing for a themed wedding. Her brother, who usually runs the sound, is unavailable, so she's on the lookout for a deejay. She thinks she's just had the best luck when she overhears someone talking to a deejay. What she finds out later is the man's name is DJ, and he has no idea how to deejay a wedding. She's instantly in love and starts mentally planning their life together.
I started out liking this book, really I did. The characters seemed quirky and enjoyable, but then nothing was happening. I'm used to at least some sort of conflict in the books I read, even the romances. Instead, everything was lovey dovey, and the only bumps in the relationship existed in Bella's imagination. Without DJ doing anything, she imagines all the problems that could occur between their families or if she could move to the country. Neither of these things made sense.
The whole section of the book about coincidences just grated on my nerves, since most of them weren't coincidences at all. Inhaling a piece of beef and then choking isn't a coincidence, it's cause and effect. And I felt like if I read the words "boot-scootin'" one more time, I was going to scream.
Normally, I'd go ahead and quit, but I kept waiting for something to happen. Like an argument or a real problem. By the end, I felt obligated to finish. It just wasn't for me.
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!
