An abandoned baby left on the doorstep of a church brings the whole gang together in this Christmas story. As if that isn’t mystery enough, it’s that time of year for the “best of the best” vendor list – and mainstay Richard Gerard Catering isn’t on it!! And diva that Richard is, he is making everyone miserable, so the gang also takes time from their main investigation to help their friend.
I liked that the entire cast of characters had a equal moment in the sun in this fun and entertaining tale. I laughed to hard to read about Leatrice (with her horrific fashion sense) wearing a tree skirt, not actually realizing that it was a tree skirt for a Christmas tree! And don’t forget more of those infamous malpropisms from Kate – so funny! Thanks to the author for an entertaining and enjoyable read.
Another fun read with Annabelle and the gang.

This was a wonderful book to read. Annabelle and the gang were all there to help each other. They did some very good things to find the mother who left her baby at the church for bikers. They help the mother to get with them so they can help her and keep her with her baby. The author has a great way to tell her story. You’ll love it and want to read more of her books.
Another winner in the Annabelle Archer series. A holiday cutie, never disappoints.
Loved this little book. Laura Durham continues to keep her books fresh with introducing new characters and fleshing out the old characters for us.

Definitely a feel-good book with our favorite wedding crew. Love Mack and Buster!
This is once again a brilliant story line even if it does deviate just a little from the norm such as Annabelle’s “deadly” wedding games. This story still has twists and turns which seems to be an every day occurrence for the Wedding Belles owner. This is a wonderful story about the meaning of the season and is a tribute to the author’s ability to breathe life into each page while keeping all the characters idiosyncrasies intact but also adding a deeper meaning for the purpose of the story. Purely wonderful and fun to read.

Intriguing
WOW! Although this may have been the latest book within the series, it’s the first and only one I’ve read (so far). It’s also my first Laura Durham book. I did not feel as though I was lost and didn’t know what was going on…. No just the opposite…. I’m intrigued with this storyline and want to go back and read the enire series from the beginning to see all the excitement I missed! This is a quick story set sound Christmas but not focused solely on the holiday…. Oh wedding planning could be so much fun :).
ARC received from BookSprout for an honest voluntary review.
I love the characters and the story is just a compelling. Difficult to put down, I just read it right through. I enjoyed every word. I am a cozy fan, among other genres but this series has my favorite character, best friend Richard. His drama queen actions make me laugh! And of course, Annabelle is an awesome planner and person.

Marry and bright is another fun romp with Annabelle and the gang. An abandoned baby, a winter wedding with a picky bride, and more craziness with the whole gang. I have read all the books in this series. I love all the quirky characters but my favorite characters are Richard and Latrice. This was a fun quick read. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series!

One of my most favorite Wedding Planners has an unfortunate magnetic draw for murder and wedding mayhem,
Can she, her friends, her beau, and the bulk of the wedding party survive the latest somewhat boozy nuptials?
Throw in an abandoned baby, Bikers for Jesus, and merry making that may be more goth than seasonal, all in for another great fun read – unless you are the deceased !

Another fun short read in the Annabelle Archer Wedding Planner Mystery series, this has all of the usual group. The mystery this time is a foundling little girl that was left on the church steps. A book I enjoyed reading from the first to the last page. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I always enjoy the Annabelle Archer books. They are funny, well written, entertaining, and full of heart. I love the characters, and they are that, characters. Such an eclectic mix of personalities that blend into the story to give depth and layers. This book was no exception. We get to see more about Buster and Mack’s Road Riders for Jesus and the Born Again Biker Church. The men behind the leather, and their biker friends, do amazing things without seeking any type of recognition, just like in the real world. Their ability to care for Merry with gentleness is so sweet, it made my heart melt. Definitely worth reading!!
This is a quick fun read with an interesting mystery to solve. The author once again brings a colorful cast of characters and gives another hit to the series.
I enjoyed the quirky characters and reading their story.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
The Wedding Belles series is so good, so funny and delightful it should either be illegal or fattening! This newest one does not disappoint either! This time Annabelle has an abandoned baby mystery to unravel as Christmas approaches. As usual Laura Durham tells her story masterfully and skillfully, great descriptions, wonderful characters. Don’t miss this one!
Annabelle and her crew aren’t overwhelmed with weddings this close to Christmas, so they are planning to kick back and have a small party to celebrate the year of work. However – a tiny bundle wrapped in pink and left on the doorstep of Mack and Buster’s church changes everything.
Determined to find and help the mother, Mack and Buster (who are rapidly falling in love with this Christmas bundle) enlist the aid of their friends in finding little Marry’s mama before social services has to step in.
This was a very light and sweet novella that pulls at your heartstrings during this time of the year.
