When I first saw the cover I wanted to read the book, that and the title.
There are actually two books in this one book.

Wedding to Remember in Charleston, South Carolina by Annalisa Daughety
Jefferson Boudreaux and Summer dated in high school. Their knit circle calls them the 'it' couple.
Problem is she met Luke Nelson who cared for the lawn. They married and were having an anniversary soon.
Ashley Watson works at Summer's wedding business in Charleston.
Summer is an event planner and very busy. Luke works as a park ranger and also plays in a band some nights, bowls and is busy most nights.
Their marriage is on the rocks and then she finds out he used the baby fund money, he doesn't even consider her feelings...
She can't understand why the Lord has let them down. She's got faith, Luke has lost all his with the events that happened in the past several months.
He has problems of his own and opens up to Summer just as the hurricane is heading towards the hotel they are at where she's the wedding planner.
Justin and Ashley are also there and they get to talk about things also..
Love the location and also how both of their sides of the story are told, very fun one to read..

A Wedding Transpires on Mackinac Island by Cara Putnam
Alama is back on the island to help run her parents art store since her mother is caring for her father who's had a stroke.
It's been over 11 years and when her brother died she's not been able to make peace with the details. Jonathan lives there and does event planning, works with many committees to get tourists to come to the island.
Never traveled there but have heard many others describe the locale. Seems a very friendly atmosphere and many different types of shops.
She is also a trial lawyer and had just finished a case when in walks the man who got off and buys a $5k painting.
They live next door to one another and share a dock. They each hold many secrets and over time we learn of some of them.
There are many mysteries and some are uncovered as the story goes long. Some she has clues to and must solve herself.
The past she finds clues of what happened the night her brother died. And now she's been volunteered to help the committee and to find the missing $25k. and her mother shows up and she questions her about the paintings that are so unlike her mother's that she leaves the next day.
With Jonathan's help they are able to solve some things and she does turn to God to guide her to do the right thing.

A Wedding to Remember in Charleston SC
This double story was very touching and intense. To me personally it reminded of the year we lost our child. Tragedy can test even bullet-proof love. But ladies there is a way back to each other and this book will show it to you. All the temptations and trials and a sweet grandma who guides with love and prayer, and a friend who after being divorced slaps harsh reality in your face and blows your dream bubble.
I absolutely loved each of the 4 characters, and felt like giving them some nice spanking for their foolishness from time to time. My compliments to the Author for the inspiration and creativity. I totally recommend this book for all ages but mostly for couples who love each other but hit a rough patch at this point in life. There is perfect time for everything. What "hour" is it on your life clock? Do you know it will change soon?
Mackinac Island
What a mystery!!! I love mysteries and suspense but usually I guess the mysterious character quickly but this book had me all confused and bewildered... I loved it. And the rekindled love between Jonathan and Alana was amazing except I wanted to kick him for carrying on with two women even though I know he had reasons.. All the secondary characters were so well developed that I didn't know if I should love them or shove to prison. It was really tangled.
Cant wait to read more of these Authors' books. They both hit my fave list from the first few chapters.
Enjoy!!!

I enjoyed this book. Instead of having one story, as I tend to expect when I select a book, it had two. Overall, the book had ups and downs, hard spots and relationship challenges, and questions and answers.
I think readers will enjoy the underlying messages of both stories.
I received an ARC of this book via NetGalley. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
