Crystal Wishes

Diamond Knot Dreams #4

by Mary Manners

As a clothing-buyer-turned-seamstress with an eye for fashion, Skylar Lannigan’s hands whisper tender ballads over fabric. She fills a sketchbook with flowing and whimsical designs—including versions of a to-die-for wedding dress for her own wedding day—if she’d only find Mr. Right. She’d once imagined a bright future with Adam Caldwell, until he took off with no explanation.

Adam Caldwell’s life has been a series of hairpin curves since the night a tragic accident claimed both his parents and nearly the life of his sister, Faith, as well. When Faith, who's still recovering from her injuries, asks for help selecting a wedding dress, Adam accompanies her to Diamond Knot Dreams. He's soon reunited with beautiful and lively Skylar Lannigan.

Adam would love to rekindle a romance with Skylar, but will events from their past rise up to destroy any hope for a future?

I am loving this series. Sweet inspirational novellas. Mary never lets ya down with a great story. The characters are very developed. I love Ellie! Don't know who she is you must read these novellas. Ellie is all about love! Since she never got a chance at it. In Crystal Wishes she is at her tricks and bringing two people together. Skylar designs wedding gowns and right now she has one she needs to get done right away for a upcoming wedding. Her sketch book as some awesome to die for designs in it. Hers is number one if only she can find Mr. Right. The dress wedding gown she has now is for Faith who was in a accident with her parents and loss both of them and she was hurt bad also. Now with scars to show and and a leg in a cast like boot how is her dress going to fit? Adam her brother happens to know a designer and takes her to Diamond Knots to someone who knew from his pass. Hmmm could there be a new romance in the air?
Wonderful novella.

Ms. Manners has written another sweet story. I have loved all the books in this series and this one was just as good as the rest. I really enjoyed reading about Adam and Skylar and I also loved the character of Faith. I would recommend this book.
I was gifted a Kindle copy of this book by the author in exchange for my honest opinion, which I have given. I was not required to give a positive review.

Delightful!

All of the Diamond Knot Dreams series' books have been good, but I think this was my favorite. A quick read, but a very sweet, romantic one. And more of "Ellie", a spirit of love, watching over the old inn's inhabitants. I received this book from the author, which in no way influenced my review. These are just great, fun books to read. Mary Manners - remember the name :)

Crystal Wishes is the beautifully written, emotional story about Skylar and Adam. A tragedy comes between them, but a wedding will bring them back together, when Sky helps Adam’s sister, Faith, find the perfect wedding gown. I love this series and I can’t wait to read more books by Mary Manners. If you’re looking for a fast read that doesn’t skimp on the story, you can’t go wrong with her books.

I Love 💘 the way you write and the love you have for Father in Heaven. I 💘 that these romances are clean and that there is always hope and an answer to prayers and that answer is 💘 God is love and the scriptures are full of it. Thanks again for your blessing that Heavenly Father gave you to write.

Because you haven't given us more stars to use. I loved every word of each story..

Another great story in the Diamond Knot Dreams series, each one is a stand alone story. Love the story of Skylar and Adam. I don’t want to give any of the story away but definitely very good. I look forward to more books by Mary Manners.

Skylar never thought she would see Adam again. But yet here he was, with his sister at her fitting for a wedding gown. Adam couldn't believe he finally get to see Skylar again. This time she wasn't getting away.
Clean sweet romance.

Wonderful Book!

This last book in this series was excellent. Reading about this couple getting back together after months was exciting. I enjoyed the touch of the spirit in the attic. It for a wonderful touch.

I liked this sweet, second chance romance. There were good characters and I liked the wedding dress design factor.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
