Picture Perfect Love: A June Wedding Story by Melissa McClone

When image becomes everything, it’s up to love to refocus the heart. Photographer Jenna Harrison wants every bride and groom to look picture perfect on their special day. But her own heart is still broken, the unworn wedding dress hanging in her closet a reminder that relationships aren’t always as perfect as they look through her camera lens. Attorney Ashton Vance is the one that got away, but he wrongly blamed Jenna for ruining his political aspirations. Even if Jenna can forgive him, dare he hope for a second chance at her love?

I Hope You Dance: A July Wedding Story by Robin Lee Hatcher

Will a sworn bachelor determined to stay single fall in love with his dance teacher? Grant Nichols is a genius in the kitchen and a klutz on the dance floor. But his friend’s wedding is shaping up to be a shindig the likes of which Kings Meadow has never seen—including dancing. Lots of dancing. Former rodeo queen Skye Foster is offering dance lessons for the wedding party. Grant and Skye are no match on paper. But when they step onto the dance floor, they create a melody all their own.

Love on a Deadline: An August Wedding Story by Kathryn Springer

MacKenzie “Mac” Davis returns to her hometown of Red Leaf, Wisconsin, and takes a job at the weekly newspaper writing about social events. When Hollis Channing, Mac’s high school nemesis, returns to Red Leaf to marry her celebrity fiancé, the editor asks Mac to cover all the festivities for the newspaper. The last thing Mac wants to do is reconnect with the person who made her life miserable when she was a teenager . . . unless it’s spending time with Ethan Channing, the bride’s older brother—and Mac’s first crush.

“Kiss the Bride: Three Summer Love Stories” is a great collection of books by some talented, well established authors. The first book is “Picture Perfect Love” by Melisa McClone. This story features Jenna Harrison, self-employed who has had her heart broken in the past by her ex-finance breaking their engagement the day before their wedding, a man she never wanted to see again, but now she’s a Christian and Ashton Vance is now in her studio wanting to talk. This is a great story of the cost of forgiveness. The second story is “I Hope You Dance” by Robin Lee Hatcher. This story features Skye Foster who dreams of marriage and a family, but for the time being, she gives dance lessons to all her friends that are getting married. Skye is a beauty, she just has high standards. This is a great, clean romance with lots of inspirational situations that make this another heart-warming story from a well-loved and talented author. The third story “Love On A Deadline” is by Kathyrn Springer. This story features Mackenzie Davis, reporter, who is sent on assignment to her hometown where she is to be on location for the wedding of the century. Her former next-door neighbor Hollis, who wasn’t kind to Mac growing up is now to marry a famous actor and Mac has to find out when and where the wedding will be. A cute and realistic story that contains many surprises, is a clean romance and has good characters. The theme is choosing forgiveness or not and the cost of either.

Kiss the Bride: Three Summer Love Stories, consists of three individual stories written by three different authors. All three stories are about the various people that help make weddings memorable...the wedding planners, the dance intstructors, and the photographers.

Picture Perfect Love: A June Wedding is written by Melissa McClone. The story is about Jenna Harrison, a wedding photographer known for her beautiful pictures. Jenna can make the bride and groom look perfect, even though her own life is far from it. Jenna was engaged to an attorney, Ashton Vance, the man that broke her heart and blames for for ruining his career in politics. Lately, circumstances have them together quite often, and because of this, they actually begin to form a friendship. She wants to forgive him and finally have that happily ever after they dreamed of having, but the question is will it ever happen?

This is a great story about forgiveness and second chances. The story was a quick read, and had characters that I felt were realistic. I liked Jenna, but had mixed feelings when it came to Ashton. In all reality, I would have preferred to see her with a different guy, but as we all know, we can't always choose who we fall in love with. I did enjoy the friendships she had, and loved the support she received from them. Overall, this was a good story that held my attention throughout. I would give this story a four star rating.

I Hope You Dance: A July Wedding is written by Robin Lee Hatcher. This story is about Grant Nichols and Skye Foster. Grant has a major problem...he is totally lost on the dance floor, but needs to learn how to dance before his friends wedding. Skye is offering free dance lessons to the wedding party, and Grant decides to take her up on the offer.

Although there was actually nothing wrong with this story, I didn't connect with the characters in this story the way I did in the other two. I can't really say why I feel that way...I guess it might just be the fact that this story didn't have the substance of the other two. Once again, this is just my personal opinion, so please don't let that stop you from reading this book. I have read other books by Robin Lee Hatcher, and I usually love them. This one was more of a lukewarm read for me, and because of that, I would give it a three star rating.

Love on a Deadline: An August Wedding Story is written by Kathryn Springer. This story is about MacKenzie Davis, also known as Mac, and her first crush, Ethan Channing. Mac accepts a job at a newspaper in her hometown of Red Leaf, Wisconsin. She will be writing about social events in town, and is asked to cover the wedding of Hollis Channing, her high school nemesis. Hollis made Mac's life hell in high school, so she is dreading this assignment. The only bright side is she will be able to see Ethan again.

All of the stories were a fun read, but my favorite was Love on a Deadline. I liked that it took place in Wisconsin, my home state. Anytime you read a romance novel, the ending is typically predictable. However, in Love on a Deadline, I loved the characters, and especially liked the fact that Hollis grew as a person, and wasn't the bully Mac expected her to still be. The romance between Mac and Ethan was genuine and heartfelt, and loved their journey of getting to know one another all over again. This is a definite five star rating for me.

Overall, this was a great book filled with fun and interesting romances. I enjoyed the selection of stories, and felt they were a good fit for this book. You can read the entire book in one sitting, or if you prefer, one story at a time. Each story took about an hour to read, so that's nice if you just want a quick story. I would recommend this book, and will be looking for more books by these authors.

I was given a copy of this book from Zondervan Fiction and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed all three of these novellas. They each sucked me in so I didn't want to stop reading until I'd finished, and I loved all the characters.

The first story grabbed my heart. I give it 4 stars. The jilted bride, forgiveness, new chances, fears and faith.
The second and third were rated 1 and 2 stars. The stories were flat and predictable.
