The first book in this series is the best and they go down from there in my opinion. Still I have to read them to find out what happens to Bella and her family. This book got a little old because Bella has the same problems she always has - too much to do and no time to do it. Also I was very confused about all the new characters. The book is written as though we already know them all - I feel like a missed a book between three and four.

Not the right book
When I downloaded this book I realized that it was not Janice Thompson's book, but instead a book about wizards, which I am sure is very good, but, not what I payed for. I just want to know how I can read her book.

This one was a little more difficult to get into. But still a fun and sweet read!
Bella is pregnant! But instead of ending up with 3 kiddos, they are having twins! So, 4 kiddos!
Plus, they are opening a new facility in Splendora.
Also, they are planning on a vow renewal ceremony to "christen" they new wedding building.
Bella's out of Galveston and living in her in-law's place.
She finds enjoys ups and downs and it's loaded with friends from the other series! Also, Bella finds herself in the slammer. Again!
With her handsome husband and quirky family, Bella can face every obstacle in Italian style!
This was a nice conclusion to the cute series.

That's Amore... finishing out the Weddings by Bella series, the book provides closure to Bella and DJ's family, including their children and extended relatives. Many dramatic wedding and construction related events occur, and the book felt rushed through the entire journey. Although it reads like a silly romance/ comedy, this Italian family shares their lives, and are definitely fully Texas in this tale. It was okay. meh.

Love this last book about Bella and DJ. Always busy but never too busy to show how much she loves her family or God. What a great book.

I enjoyed this book from start to finish! What better than a love story that keeps a smile on your face and makes you laugh out loud. I love the Neely family and would really love another book from this series. Will differently re-read this series again. So if you enjoy a love story and like to smile, this is a book you'll LOVE!

I didn't enjoy it as much as the previous ones. I don't know if maybe it was because it had been a while since I read the rest in the series and I wasn't as connect with the characters as before or because Bella felt different to me. There was quite a bit of time jumping throughout the book and then a brief summary reviewing what happened, I felt like I had missing some important moments. It seemed to weird that Bella let DJ and Blossom design most of the new wedding chapel and she didn't even see a lot of it until the day of her vow renewal. There were parts that were really funny and made me laugh. I would only recommend this book, if you have read the rest of the series and want to catch up with Bella and DJ. The ending is a sweet one.

My favorite author took my favorite character and threw some huge obstacles her way in this book.
Bella and DJ are opening a new wedding facility, planning a vow renewal, and adding to their family. All while trying to make the entire town of Splendora a happier place. All the family is there as well as all the new friends Bella made during the 'Weddings by Design' series. Everyone fits so perfectly into the story.
Janice Thompson has a way of making the reader always feel like they are hanging out with their friends and this book is no exception.
This book can technically be read as a stand alone book, but i highly suggest you start at the beginning to really enjoy all that Bella has to offer.

I feel like I'm missing something between the last book and this one. Sure it was a few years later, but there was all these new characters that by the story seemed familiar. I liked them, but it was off. Not to mention things that happened in the past that were made matter of fact, when they weren't mentioned in previous books.
It was funny how once again Bella's life spun out of control. She really needs to learn to say no now and again. It's a good thing that she has a great support system in all the family and friends, because she needed it.
I thought this one ended much like Bella lives her life, in slight chaos.

This is another great story about Bella and her wedding facility businesses. Janice's books are always a delight to the senses. I know it was in keeping with the characters of the Splendora sisters, but I thought their rambling dialogue (usually off topic) was a bit over done and tiresome. I usually don't skip or skim pages because I enjoy reading, but some of the dialogue sure tempted me to do so. The book finished all of the story lines, but it left plenty of room for more books. Thanks, Janice, for another great book.

This was a charming story with a lovely ending. All of my favorite characters from the previous books returned. I do not think that this is a story you can pick up and read without first reading the prior books. If you do, you'll feel lost. I've read all four books in this series and still felt lost at times. There seem to be past feuds and characters that this book refers to that I don't remember reading in the last book. Yet and still, I enjoyed this story. It was a nice diversion from every day life.

Janice Thompson has done it again! She has completed a wonderful series with a knock out book! I love how she brings all of my favorite characters into the plot and rounds the book out nicely with a sweet and harmonious ending. If you haven't read the Weddings by Bella series, please do yourself a favor and start right now! I guarantee you'll love these books! In fact, you'll love all of her books!!!!

I love reading about Bella. She is a amazing character, she is caring, funny, a mother, a awesome daughter and friend. Her hubby is from Splendor, Texas so they decide to build a wedding place there a extension of club wed. There is all the characters from the past books so it is just like visiting family again. Always love a good clean, funny book and this one does not disappoint.

It was nice to catch up with Bella and DJ...although I have to admit I struggled at times to try to keep up with everything. Sometimes I felt bogged down in the Splendora sisters rants and conversations, but it was nice getting to know some of the new characters and looking forward to following them in future stories.
December 13, 2014
What an awesome book! I loved everything about it. It was one I had to keep turning the pages to find out what was going to happen next. I also loved the spiritual thread running all through and with just enough humor to make it very enjoyable. My only disappointment is that I finished the book. I want to keep reading!

This book did NOT disappoint. Funnier than the last one and full of everything I've come to expect from Janice's writing. The Splendora Trio are probably he second most important part of the story, the main characters first obviously. A must read for any Christian fiction lover in need of a good laugh.

Impressive farewell to our favorite Rossi family!!
This was just what I needed as a fan if the Rossi family for the last three books. It was wonderful being able to see how this family aged after their honeymoon. Thank you for writing this! Seeing (well in my mind) the family that they have created was truly amazing, with their Kids and new challenges and character s.

November 18, 2016Another cute love story about Bella and her family. It seems like she is destined to get herself into places where she has to just trust in God to make it through. I do suggest to read the first three books first, but you can read this one as a stand alone. There are some places you might be confused or lost, but it is a good stand alone book too.

I love the weddings by Bella series. This book was good, but not as good as the first three. But still, it was funny and you get to check in with all of the characters that you have grown to love over the first three books (and the companion series - weddings by design.)
July 30, 2015
Wonderful story as usual!
From the very first book to this one, one can't help but feel the love of The Lord from all of the characters. Thank you, Janice for giving us this wonderful over the top family to fall in love with.
