Publisher's summary

Discover why millions love international best-selling author Ava Miles in this heartwarming bridal companion to her acclaimed Dare Valley series filled with four humorous and emotional short stories about the day we all dream of: our wedding day.

Your favorite Dare Valley characters have survived betrayal, secrets, and tragedy to find true love. Now, watch each of these daring brides walk down the aisle to their happily ever after with the man of their dreams.

From Nora Roberts Land, Meredith Hale and her own hero, Tanner McBride, embark upon the journey into their new life, Marriage Land. See what makes Meredith’s wedding day so daring, and meet Tanner’s best man, international news correspondent Asher Harrington. Then, there’s Grandpa Hale’s priceless advice about what makes a long-lasting marriage.

Jill Hale from French Roast has wanted to marry Brian McConnell since she wore pig tails in grade school. Brian has come around—finally. Sure, she got pregnant before they tied the knot, but it doesn’t matter because they’re going to live happily ever after. Find out what makes Jill a daring bride besides her wish to rent a pink circus tent for the wedding reception.

Peggy McBride from The Grand Opening never imagined getting married again, especially to hotel magnate and poker champion Mac Maven. See what Mac gives her to make their wedding day daring and watch as her cute-as-a-button son binds their new family together in the most adorable way ever.

Abbie Maven from The Holiday Serenade resisted her love for bad-boy Rhett Butler Blaylock, not only because he’s a poker player, but also because that Southerner knows how to start a ruckus wherever he goes. Now, it’s their wedding day, and Rhett’s friends from Dare River show up as well as his mama, Eugenia Lynn, and his cousin, Charleston. Of course, a ruckus breaks out, making Abbie feel more than a little daring, but it’s all in good fun and makes this couple’s wedding all the more memorable.

I cried...I laughed

How much emotion can be crammed in to 3 hours? I cried...I laughed & then I cried again (happy tears). It’s all fiction but when you read about all the characters journey towards love getting to “witness” their weddings was a treat to my romantic heart. Thank you Ava Miles

Like the content but it seems disjointed.....

I would have enjoyed these chapter stories more if they had been included in the original stories where the couples decided to marry, perhaps as an epilogue?

Couldn't get thru this one.....sorry Ava

Would you try another book from Ava Miles and/or Em Eldridge?

Yes - I am a fan of Ava Miles books - have listened to probably 10 or so - and Em Eldridge is top notch and my favorite of narrators.

What could Ava Miles have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

This wrap up of weddings would be out of order if read first - and if read after the series, as I did, was a tad obsolete and it just didn't capture you at all. The weddings could maybe have been an epilogue to each story and worked better.

What about Em Eldridge’s performance did you like?

I love Em Eldridge! Her masculine voices sound like men - and her women like women. There is a pleasantness that makes listening to her easy and flowing so you can stay with the plot and not be cringing from the voices....thanks Em.....

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

I was disappointed - and please understand I loved all my other reads from Ava.

Boring

Worst story I’ve heard from Eva Miles. Not the way real people live. At least not in my world.
