I totally enjoyed the drama & mystery of the story-I even felt anxious wondering if it would resolve the way I hoped!

This was a very enjoyable mystery. And I loved how there were little wedding ideas or crafts before each chapter! In fact, it made me wish I had read this book before my own wedding because there were several sweet treats and ideas for the guests that I wish I could have used! ;)

I really enjoyed the friendship between Adri and Lorea, from their banter to the way they genuinely cared about each other. I also enjoyed getting a little insight into a wedding shop, especially when I saw them deal with a bridezilla while working their regular wedding preparations in around her.

I have to admit that I was a little disappointed in Adri and her reaction to a certain someone (cant share who! No spoilers!!), because I thought it was fairly obvious what kind of person he/she was, but since Adri was under a lot of stress at the time, I realized it was understandable. (If youve read it youll know who Im talking about ;)

I definitely recommend this book, and I look forward to reading the other books in this series!

*I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion*

I have enjoyed this series and the daily life details of this charming story. This has been the best wedding story I ever heard. We forget in the midst of wedding, it is the bride's day and it should be what ever makes her happy. What a blessed way to celebrate the past and future.

Most weddings are days of joy. But not when they're the site of a small scale terrorist attack. The idyllic town of Seagrove Village, Florida is stunned.
 More odd occurrences begin to appear. A blood soaked mattress is discovered in a desolate area. A cryptic message is found in the wedding cake & fishing line is tied to some of the guests' fingers. Why would a terrorist cell stage an attack at a wedding?
 Sara & Beth, our female leads, have dealt with notorious terrorist organization, NINA, before, but, now Sara's husband has disappeared without a trace.
 Sara & Beth have assisted in Special Operations. But, will they be able to help this time? If NINA is bent on revenge, how far might they go?
 To complicate matters further, Sara & Beth will need help from the one man Beth can't seem to stop being attracted to while Sara's concern is with her now missing husband. They'll need to pull together although they are both falling apart in side.
 While the women deal with their issues of the heart, Jeff, the first responder to the wedding, has many reservations about the scene. What's more, he still has eyes for Beth. But, he too, must reach out to a fellow law enforcer, who just so happens to be Beth's crush.
 If NINA operatives are on the warpath, what's next for the residents of Seagrove Village? Until all the facts are assembled- no one is safe.
 Vicki Hinze continues her momentum with `Not This Time'. A tricky serpentine of clues & twists keeps us guessing. I wish I had read her prior works first. I would have had background for this novel. Regardless, I was entertained. Strong leads & a unique plot satisfy suspense fans. Romantic bits are carefully placed without adversely affecting the mystery or suspense. Spirituality & faith are strategically placed with the characters' feelings & thoughts.
 I appreciated the Reader's Guide which references Scripture & includes questions ideal for the Book Club Set. The cover by Kelly L. Howard is lovely. It appears mysterious, but not overly telling.
 At 322 pages, `Not This Time' is a pleasant, easy read that earns its 5 of 5 stars rating for swirling all the elements of a great novel, smoothly.
 I received 1 printed copy via the publisher[...] in the hopes that I would review the book. No other compensation was provided. I was under no obligation to write a positive review.

What fun!  A secret wedding planned by the groom.  No details revealed until the end.  The anticipation and excitement for Katrina, as well as us was worth the wait.

I really enjoyed reading the book The Wedding Dress.  The story introduces the character Charlotte. She receives a vintage wedding gown from a private estate sale. The book goes on to introduce you to the four women who wore the wedding dress. I really enjoyed learning about each of the four women and how they came to wear the wedding dress. Each woman had a unique story to tell about how they fell in love and got married. I highly recommend this book!
*I received a complimentary copy of this book from Fiction Guild-Thomas Nelson publisher. I was not required to write a review. My opinion is my own.

Loved this story! The brides just kept coming, but the prospective groom's heart was already taken. What to do with all those extra brides? Why, write sequels, of course! Can't wait to read the next two books in the series.

A riding accident erases 5 years of memory for William, including meeting and marrying his wife, Catherine.  They had fallen in love upon meeting, and continued growing in love after marrying.  Catherine was devastated when William no longer looked with love at her, which in turn caused William distress.  Thus, it was easier to be apart.
  Christine, Catherines sister comes to help during Williams recovery and comes up with the idea to switch identities, allowing William the opportunity to come to know Catherine without the pressure to feel he must love her simply because they were married.  William allows Catherine, posing as Christine his sister-in-law, help him learn about his wife.
  Christine, posing as Catherine, leaves the scene with Wexley, Williams brother, to give William space to come to grips with his new situation.  Of course, the hope is that William will fall in love with Catherine (posing as Christine) all over again.
  Thus the story is built around helping William reinstate himself into a marriage he does not remember, with a woman he does not know.  We watch the reestablishment of a relationship between William and Catherine, tentative at first.  A masked ball, some mistletoe and a passionate kiss before everyone sets the stage for the revelation of the secrets.  By the end of the book, Ind and William have reestablished their passionate relationship and are preparing to live HEA.  This is a clean book, with only kisses between the married couple described.  Readers of all ages can enjoy this book.
