Good book!!

I loved this short little story with Josh and Riley as well as the other Bradens. No matter what happened to get them to the alter, I never doubted their determination and love for each other. I liked the strong sense of family throughout the book as well as the return or reference to the characters from many of the other books in the series as well as a few references to characters from other series as well. I liked catching up with the characters from the previous stories in the series as well. The plot was quick for this short story as I had it finished in one sitting and was sorry the story ended. The narration by Mr. Harrison continues to be enthusiastic and enjoyable to listen to. I would recommend this story to others wanting to reconnect with the series.

A Braden Wedding

BJ Harrison is my go-to narrator. I am so excited when I put my headphone on and hear his voice. With each book that he has narrated, I am taken into the book world through his words. The characters come alive, the author’s story comes to life, and I am just lost. Melissa Foster has definitely picked the correct narrator for her Love in Bloom series.



The end was my favorite. I thought I was done listening and then Hal’s voice came on. I just stopped, stood still and listened. He is the head of the family so I knew what he would say would be important. Hal is my 2nd favorite Love in Bloom character, Treat is #1, and I always know that his words are strong, true, and full of love.



The story in Story of Love is Josh and Riley’s wedding. The Braden clan comes to Charlotte’s inn for the wedding and the fun begins. There is laughter, smiles, tears, giggles, and so much more before the wedding festivities can begin. I loved every minute of the preparations. I loved that the girls were together making a cake, having a sleepover, eating brownies, and just enjoying each other. I love that the men were together fixing up the inn, watching the children, and enjoying being together.



This is a novella. It is short, quick, and a great way to catch up to the characters that you may have met in other books in this series.

Wedding chaos

I loved having the opportunity to listen to this book after reading it when it was first released in print. B.J. is a great narrator! Josh and Riley just want their wedding day to go well but mishaps keep jumping in the way. Between the press, and other day before and day of the wedding hiccups, it is definitely not perfect. It is hard to not find comedy each time, even Josh and Riley have to laugh. In typical Braden fasion, they make the most out of even the craziest situations. Through all the chaos they only grow closer to each other and to their families.

HILARIOUS!

I can't tell you how much I laughed at this story. B. J. Harrison narrated it and he was super.
Josh Braden was marrying Riley Banks and they were fashion designers. They had designed a beautiful wedding dress for the wedding. The day before the wedding, two of Josh's little nephews got to the dress and drew designs and stick figures on it. The girls had to make adjustments to the wedding cake because of a huge mistake. Then Riley's friend had sent a batch of brownies for the girls to munch on, then she got a message that the brownies had got mixed up. The brownies they ate had marijuana baked in them and they had eaten them all. Riley had a time with all of the high women. I laughed until I cried at this one!

Laughter Abounds

This is one of my very favourite books as it is both funny and romantic. Josh and Riley are getting married. Everything that can go wrong does with the exception of their love for each other. I cried tears of joy and laughter listening to this audio book as much as I did reading it. Perfect wedding!!!
