Description During Books Fools Rush In (Weddings by Bella #1)
Bella Rossi may be nearing thirty, but her life is just starting to get interesting. When her Italian-turned-Texan parents hand over the family wedding planning business, Bella is determined not to let them down. She quickly books a "Boot Scoot'n" wedding that would make any Texan proud. There's only one catch--she's a country music numbskull because her family only listens to Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Where will she find a DJ on such short notice who knows his Alan Jackson from his Keith Urban? When a misunderstanding leads her to the DJ (and man) of her dreams, things start falling into place. But with a family like hers, nothing is guaranteed. Can the perfect Texan wedding survive a pizza-making uncle with mob ties, an aunt who is a lawsuit waiting to happen, and a massive delivery of 80 cowboy boots? And will Bella ever get to plan her own wedding? Book one in the Weddings by Bella series, Fools Rush In is fun, fresh, and full of surprises. Readers will love the flavorful combination of Italian and Tex-Mex, and the hilarity that ensues when cultures clash.Rating Epithetical Books Fools Rush In (Weddings by Bella #1)

This was a very funny read! Tons of crazy things happened that had me laughing from the beginning. From Bella's crazy family to how D.J. deals with it all, their is not stop laughter and family bonding. I loved how in this book Bella's whole family loves eachother to death, not to mention D.J.'s family as well. I also like that even though you know everyone loves each other, it showed how a family can and will butt heads, but everything will be alright and back to normal in the end; That after aWow. Very, very bad. And it's a shame too because it has a nice premise.The problem here for me was that the author tried too hard to be funny all the time, in almost very page. This tried to be a sort of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but with cowboys and Italians. However, it failed. It's supposed to be a romantic comedy, but the author should be aware that less is more. She had everything (and be advised, there may be a few SPOILERS ahead):Main characters meeting based on a dumb misunderstanding:
Um, ok. . . wow.So, this book was billed to me as a romantic comedy, and since I love rom/com with a wedding theme I thought I'd love it. Well, they fail to mention this is book is also Christian fiction, aggressively so.I personally have nothing against Christian fiction, I've read several novels for the genre in the past that I've really enjoyed. However, in order for it to work and be good you've got to tell a good story. Don't spend every third line telling me about God's grace and how Jesus
I have really debated what to give this. I loved the parts about Bella's family but I nearly gagged when it came to the romance part. Couldn't she have said anything other then the guy was hot? enjoyable enough for a one time read but I may or may not read any more of these books.
1 1/2 stars. Reminiscent of the film Return to Me, this book wants to capitalize on the charm of mixing ethnic eccentricities, though in this case it is Italian/Texan rather than Italian/Irish. It's somewhat entertaining and the writing is executed with a light touch. However, that's also a problem: it's too light a touch. This story skims on a surface, even inexplicably building up to scenes then skipping the pay-off (e.g., a dramatic confrontation in a public restaurant between a lovey new
Yes, this is a Christian novel. Yes, the mingling of cultures (Texan and Italian) is an interesting substory throughout the novel. I knew what I was in for when I started reading. Even though I knew what I signed on for, it didn't stop me from (literally) rolling my eyes during multiple points of this book. The story of Bella, an Italian-American wedding planner transplanted in Texas, falling in love with hertrue-blue Texas deejay, D.J., and trying to make it work in spite of the cultural
Review is below the image. Contemporary Romantic Comedy is the genre that author Janice Thompson's new series Weddings by Bella falls within and boy does she know how to write it well. "Fools Rush In", book #1 is a heart beating, goosebump raising, giggles under cover read. I was able to read this in less a day, which considering my teething, growth spurt experiencing, 3 month old daughter is quite the feat. *wink* Bella Rossi is a New Jersey Italian relocated with her whole family to the
