About the Book
The Inn at Angel Island is officially open for business, and owner Liza Martin has booked her first major event – a June wedding. Jennifer, the bride, met her fiancé on the island when they were teenagers, and she’s always dreamed of being married at the Inn. Liza wants to make sure that Jennifer has a perfect wedding day, but she soon notices tension between the bride and groom and begins to wonder: What good is the most spectacular setting or cake if the love between the couple isn’t as beautiful and strong?
Liza is hoping everything will come together, but on the day of the wedding a storm rolls in-and the groom is nowhere to be found. Everything is going wrong, and Liza realizes that it will take nothing short of a miracle to make this wedding a success. Then again, if you have faith and love, Angel Island is just the sort of place where miracles can happen.
My Thoughts
For as much as my husband teases me about reading books written by Thomas Kinkade, this was a fun, light read. It didn’t have as much about the mysterious guardian angels as the first book, which was a bit disappointing, but the story of Liza coming into her own as an innkeeper was nice.
I also liked the story of the bride and groom. It showed how easy it is for misunderstandings to arise as two people are learning how to communicate with each other and make decisions as a couple.
Note: This is Book #75 of my 2011 Reads (master list here).
I'm a mom with Asperger's raising an amazing son with autism, which means I'm basically the case manager/advocate/cheerleader/chauffeur. The rest of the time, you can usually find me with my nose in a book!
