.5 If you're a fan of HEA books, this is one for you. Who will wear the dress ...read to find out. If however, you're expecting to read more of Clare and Andrew's life, you'll be disappointed.
Oh how my heart broke for both these characters. I loved Liza and her push-it-through spirit – and let’s say I...disliked...her landlord. She tried so hard, every day, to keep her mother’s memory alive. And her cat, Snowball. Oh boy, do I know that personality! What a fun team they make. And Snowball is devious, I just know it. And Dylan. I hurt for him when his reason for life – his job – suffers a setback. It’s like I was there with him. His goodness comes through and reading about his thawing heart was wonderful. And he has this rambunctious puppy named Rascal, who lives up to his name!
These two have a funny (at least to me) courtship of sorts. Both have reasons to just be professional but life, feelings, and love happen. Such a warm, touching, funny story that gets to the heart of a wonderful couple.
The setting is once again so special, I can almost hear the ocean/feel the sand on my feet, and we visit with Liza’s friends. A special holiday story that is truly wonderful.
This sweet, touching, and clean romance, takes the readers back to San Francisco and this time the story belongs to bridal boutique owner Liza Howard, and her tenant Dylan Carver. Liza has been struggle with the boutique that once belonged to her mother and what she feels, is the last connection to her. When Dylan’s sweet but rambunctious dog Rascal escapes to the shop and ruins a precious and expensive wedding dress, Dylan is willing to purchase the dress. Even if he is short on money, no job and has no need for one. As these two spend time together as friends and in planning his mother’s wedding, feelings develop. But each has their own goals in life and have been hurt before in love. Will they realize that together they are stronger than apart? That love is special and should be treasured? That it’s best to have loved than fear the worse? This was another wonderful addition to the series and this reader is looking forward to the next story. I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
This was a sweet, romantic story set at Christmas time. I enjoyed the characters of Dylan and Liza. Liza now owns her mother's wedding shop and Dylan rents the apartment upstairs, along with his cute dog, Rascal. I found it interesting how Dylan's dog, Rascal got loose one day and ruined a wedding gown while chasing Liza's cat, Snowball. I liked how the story evolved around the ruined wedding gown and love. The book was easy to read and gave me happy vibes of love and Christmas Eve weddings. I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.
A delightful story of unexpected love during the holiday season. Loved the story line as Liza And Dylan go from tenant/landlord to friends as the slowly discover a future. Strong characters and a couple furry friends make this an amazing read. Always enjoy this authors work.
I voluntarily read and reviewed this book. All opinions expressed are my own.
Liza and Dylan have a lot going on with their lives. They are trying to have successful careers in their own right. These are engaging characters and the story flowed from beginning to end. This is a feel good story that I highly recommend.
This was such a cute story and one that really draws you into the book. It is a Seabreeze Wedding Chapel novel and wow it is a page turner. You damage it and you buy it really comes into play with someone you wouldn't believe who damaged one of Liza's gowns. This was a home run for Jennifer!
I loved this book! It was a beautiful Christmas love story. Great characters with the return of many from the first novel. I loved the addition of Snowball and Rascal!!
THE BRIDE’S CHRISTMAS DRESS is a charming story! Liza needs a really good season for her Boutique to stay open. She has rented the upstairs apartment to Dylan and his dog. One day Dylan’s dog goes running into the Boutique and ruins a designer wedding dress. According to store policy Dylan has to pay for a dress he doesn’t want. What does a confirm bachelor do with a designer wedding dress? Very good from the beautiful cover to the last page!
