Book Review: The Second Yes: Five Wedding Dress Christian Romances (Crossroads Collection) by Amanda Tru , Alexa Verde , etc




The Second Yes by multiple authors
Like the idea of the crossroads collection. Each author writes their own story and they are connected in some way.
Going to be fun to find out what. Starts out with background of the book itself and the authors.
.
Season of Surprises by Alexa Verde
There are so many fun things in this one! great settings.
This is about a wedding dress...relatives are getting married and she's thrown together again with a  very old neighbor.
When the dress is a no go they combine forces and travel to Warsaw to get another.... love the travel and how they find out that things they remembered about one another still matter.
Misunderstandings about the dress ....
Great story and glad he was able to find God again after all the years.
After all the turmoil about the wedding she realizes she needs to postpone or cancel it but she has another idea....
Didn't see this one coming!

Something Borrowed, Someone Blue by  Chautona Havig
Counseling for the big day and she realizes she might not be where she needs to be....

Black Belt, White Dress by halee Bridgeman
She's agreed to marry him and shut down her wedding planner mother by stating they were going to skydive over Grand Canyon saying their vows.
Like conversations about karate classes.  Everything goes according to plan til her mother becomes deathly sick and the bride changes her mind.



Sewn Together by Alana Terry
Story starts out from a young girls summer from a diary journal, and how their family friend who they knew in Korea can't have children so she adopts one then becomes pregnant and the baby is unborn but there are problems..
Her parents had also fostered children.  His is a pastor and the mother helps out a lot with things.
Sad about the baby to be born but love the idea of the wedding dress. Such a beautiful idea!


The Second yes  by Amanda Tru
London moves back to Crossroads and runs her own design wedding shop. She never expected to see Adam at her shop, she dropped the scissors she was holding...
Like how this story brings all the others together. Lots of faith and hope and others want to disrupt everything she's doing...
.

What I like about a lot of these stories is how easy they are to read, religion and faith themes, discussion questions at the end of the story and a bit about the author and their other works.
Some even had recipes that go along with the story!  Some were hilarious, some very sad.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
