I loved this book! Willa Bay is such a quaint town with the sweetest residents! I love the small town feel and cant wait to see what happens next in Willa Bay!
The dilapidated Inn at Willa Bay could be a dream disguised in faded paint.
The Wedding Crashers are a talented group of female friends, including an event planner, a chef, and a baker who’ve successfully turned Willa Bay into a wedding destination. They’ve devoted years to the Willa Bay Lodge, but each dreams of someday opening her own business. When the boss’s daughter and son-in-law make working at the Lodge unbearable, the Crashers need to make career decisions. Can an unhappy accident, a surprise millionaire financier, an unexpected chance at love, and the once-glorious Inn at Willa Bay — now a fading and ramshackle derelict — end their desperation? This is a sweet book, with likable characters in challenging situations. Read it to see if there really can be an HEA for the Wedding Crashers.
Great girlfriends book. Such an easy read – the perfect read after a tough day and you just want to relax with little to no ‘drama’. Something that will leave you with a good feeling.
Enjoyed it very much!
This is the first book of this series that I have read, and enjoyed the well developed characters that work at the Lodge as Chef’s, bakers, wedding planners etc. It is a story about small town life that is very hospitable. This Willa Bay community has many weddings as it is such a beautiful place to be married. A delightful story and would recommend.
A great story! I will read more from this series.
This book is about a senior citizen who has an accident at home and her friends and neighbors rally around to help her. One neighbor contacts her long lost grandson and he helps fix up her house.
Quick read, delightful characters and simple story.
Love the way the characters were each portrayed, and that the story included multi-generational characters.
This book has it all
Wonderfully true life story worthy of admiration and love!
Enjoyed the characters-light reading
A bit cozier than I usually like. The plot was contrived, everyone was really sweet, but it was well written, so I enjoyed it. I must have wanted to find out what happened to everyone, because I bought the next two books. Liked them, too.
Nice light reading, predictable but in a feel-good sort of way
Not. Worth reading.
Nice light reading. Good for an airplane read.
I bought the series, what can I say.
A seeet summer read.
Good wholesome story. I wanted too know more of what happened to the Inn.
Luv it
