It Had to Be You

The final book in a delightful trilogy has just been released, and it made me smile as much as the first two books did.


IT HAD TO BE YOU
by Janice Thompson
(Revell Books)
ISBN: 978-0-8007-3344-5
336 pages/May, 2010/$14.99


BOOK SUMMARY (from the publisher):

Get ready for a double dose of wedding frenzy!

Bella couldn't be happier that two of her long-feuding relatives have finally admitted their love for one another and are getting married. Their forties-style wedding is sure to be a night to remember. But when the Rossi house begins to fill up with family from Italy--and an old mobster from New Jersey--life starts to get complicated. Will a friend from the past drive the happy couple apart once more? And will Bella ever have time to think of her own rapidly approaching wedding amid the chaos?

Full of humor, plenty of Italian passion, and a bit of Texas gumption, It Had to Be You will have you laughing out loud and wiping a tear from your eye.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Janice Thompson is a seasoned romance author and native Texan. An experienced wedding coordinator herself, Thompson brings alive in her books the everyday drama and humor of getting married. She is the author of Fools Rush In and Swinging on a Star. She lives in Texas.

MY THOUGHTS:
Che libro meraviglioso! What a wonderful book! I have loved getting to know Bella and her boisterous Italian family through this series, and this final story is no exception. What fun it was to watch as Bella helped plan the perfect wedding for Rosa and Laz! Of course, the story wouldn't be complete without a little chaos and mayhem along the way! And while the members of Bella's family are passionate in their disagreements, they is just as fervent in their love and devotion to one another and to God. I particularly enjoyed Uncle Laz, whose blustery personality hides a tender heart which desperately longs for his long-time friend to know Christ. I will miss this sweet family and their exuberance for life and love.

It Had to Be You is available directly from the publisher or from Amazon.

This sounds like fun. The book I am reading now is good, but heavy weather emotionally!
