"Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace" by Jones. Troy Emerson wants to stop his younger brother Drew from marrying Emma Cale. Emma's older sister Sydney wants the same thing. They join forces and end up in love too.

"Once Upon a Dream" by Sally Laity. Librarian Grace Farrell is turning 40 and an old maid until widower Mitchell Haywood arrives at her library to do local history for his book.

"Something Old, Something New" by Yvonne Lehman. Daniel Gallo moves his grandfather Peppino into a retirement home. The marketing director is Kay English. Daniels fall for Kay and Peppino for Kay's great aunt Ella.

"Wrong Church, Wrong Wedding" by Loree Lough. Piano tuner Breena Pavan thinks she "killed" her mother by her teenage actions and that Christ has rejected her. Horticulturist Keegan Neil convinces her otherwise.

Pleasant stories, not too preachy. Not outstanding.
