Wedding chaos

I loved having the opportunity to listen to this book after reading it when it was first released in print. B.J. is a great narrator! Josh and Riley just want their wedding day to go well but mishaps keep jumping in the way. Between the press, and other day before and day of the wedding hiccups, it is definitely not perfect. It is hard to not find comedy each time, even Josh and Riley have to laugh. In typical Braden fasion, they make the most out of even the craziest situations. Through all the chaos they only grow closer to each other and to their families.

Sweet and Steamy Romance!

I love finding out what happens after the HEA, and this Story of Love is a delightful peak into Josh and Riley's wedding adventure. It is finally their big day and they are looking forward to the wedding of their dreams with their beloved family and friends. Unfortunately for them, what ever could go wrong, did go wrong! From wild critters, overly helpful children, and so many more hurdles that tested their patience, creativity, and love. But what I love most about Foster's stories are the close family and friends who are unconditionally loyal, and supportive and will do anything for those they love. This funny, heartwarming, and steamy story made me completely happy!
B.J. Harrison continues to narrate this heartfelt, and delightful series. His voice is soothing as he swept me away with all the fun, excitement and passion. He really makes this an enjoyable quick listen, as he brings these characters and to life.

Melissa Foster’s Creates a Great Novella

I received this audiobook free for an honest review. The author brings the Braden family together for a wedding. Each of the characters in her previous Braden books are included with their families in this Novella. If you want to have a quick synopsis of each of their lives, this book does that. Melissa Foster has a great knack for telling a story and in this novella she provides not only stories from the past but a surprise for future books in this series as well as a bridge to her other series. The narrator did a good job with the characters in this story as he does in all the other stories written by Melissa Foster.

Story of Josh and Riley's Love

This novella features Riley Banks and Josh Braden’s wedding (their love story took place in Friendship on Fire). I listened to the audio book and B.J. Harrison never disappoints! Once again you’re transported into the story and feel like a witness to all that ensues. Although a novella, it’s packed with hilarious moments, zany happenings, heartfelt love and of course their happily ever after.

Being famous fashion designers means you have paparazzi trailing after you all the time, unless of course you have the Braden clan to help make your wedding a reality despite what happens! As in real life, not everything goes according to plan and that’s okay, because being a real couple means you have to learn to roll with the punches as a united unit.

There’s no shortage of family bonding, whether immediate family, cousins or close friends and of course all their children. Papa Hal Braden is one of my all time favorite fictional characters, (although I have to remind myself he’s not real) and his love and wisdom is so beautiful and earnest

The heat and passion comes through loud and clear like in all of Melissa’s books, and you won’t be disappointed with Josh and Riley’s wedding. It’s a quick read or listen and one you’ll be glad you did. Five stars!

A Murphy’s Law wedding

Josh and Riley’s wedding is finally happening! If these two can survive all the bumps and bruises on the way to the alter their love will survive anything! The narration was just as calm as ever. And you will snort laugh a few times!
