This is the second book in the author’s Red, White, and Blue Wedding series, following Red Like Crimson and before Out of the Blue. It was a cute light read even though the synopsis was way off about how big of an issue Bree’s aversion to football was. The romance took a backseat to this as majority of the novel dealt with Bree and her grandma getting over familial hurts and learning to forgive others and themselves for past misdeeds. There were a few hokey moments such as the grandma sending Bree over there under false pretenses hoping it would be a love at first sight situation but those were easy to overlook.

I enjoyed this story more than the previous one even though the relationship in this one wasn’t as developed as in the first book. Although to be fair that is because they had a history together. Neither was the resolution that was said to have happened between Bree and her dad and there were lots of threads that were left dangling with no resolution or hope for it, since the characters in these three books do not appear to be connected in any way. I wish the author had either shown a resolution for those plot points or never introduced them at all since it seemed to serve no purpose but to add to the word count. Overall one of Thompson’s better works but still not as enjoyable as others I have read by her. A good choice for a quiet afternoon with coffee or tea and all you want is a quick clean romantic read.
