About the book:
Crazy Little Thing Called Love: A Destination Wedding Novel(Howard, June 2015)Wedding bells and storm clouds collide in the first engaging novel in a brand-new series about destination weddings, the power of love, and the possible mishaps and missteps that happen on a couple’s journey down the aisle to “I do.”

Paramedic Vanessa Hollister has put her adolescence behind her, including the unwanted label of being the new kid in town over and over again, thanks to her father’s military career. She’s overcome what her mother called “the biggest mistake of her life” and is planning an elegant destination wedding in Destin, Florida with her new fiancé. But will the reappearance of her first husband from her what-were-you-thinking teenage elopement disrupt her dream of an idyllic beach wedding?

As a professional storm chaser, Logan Hollister is used to taking risks. However, a reckless decision during the last tornado season has him questioning the future of his team, the Stormmeisters. Coming face to face with his ex-wife eight years after their divorce compels him to confront his greatest regret: losing Vanessa. Does their past give him the right to interfere with her future?

A fast-moving, powerful hurricane throws Vanessa and Logan together as they evacuate to a storm shelter along with other residents of the Florida Gulf Coast. Forced to spend time together, the pair battles unexpected renewed feelings for each other.

Vanessa and Logan are faced with a choice: Should they accept, once and for all, their teenage marital mistake? Or is God offering them a second chance at happily ever after?

My thoughts:

 

I really loved this book.  I didn’t know starting out.  It seemed a bit slow in the first chapter when we catch up on history and such.  But once I knew who all the characters were and how they interconnected I was hooked.  Who wouldn’t love getting to know and watch Vanessa grow?  She has a lot of learning to do about being a friend and a wife, but she wasn’t given a lot of opportunity to learn about trust and relationships growing up as she moved from place to place with her dad being military.  I also loved getting to know Logan.  He’s a bit of a rebel as a boy and crazy as an adult, but with a great heart and capacity to love.  

 

Can Logan teach Vanessa what she needs to know about love?  Or will they both end up heart broken?  I don’t know much about hurricanes, but I do know tornadoes living here in northwest MO where we get quite a few!  I’m eagerly awaiting another book in the series.  Plus I want to know what is up with Max and Julie!  Oh and Caron and Alex.  Yeap so many spin off books should be coming I will be kept reading for a while!
