She wants to see her own dress designs gracing the young women of Texas. When Jordan Spencer, the editor of Texas Bride magazine visits the shop to do a feature, Gabi is devastated to lose her job in his very influential presence. Convinced she&#8217;ll never get her dreams off the ground now, Gabi needs lots of encouragement&#8211;especially from her friend Bella Neeley&#8211;to take a chance and start her business. And as she gets to know Jordan, she discovers that she may have to take a chance on love as well. Could it be that she&#8217;ll have to design her own wedding dress soon?<\/p>\n<p>As always, Janice Thompson delivers fun, laughter, and romance as she takes readers back to Galveston, Texas, to spend more time with their favorite quirky characters along with fabulous new ones.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Love, love, loved this book and wished I&#8217;d read the first ones in the series! Gabi is such a super sweet character that you can&#8217;t help but fall in love with her and with her friends and family. You&#8217;ll wish that you were part of this group of amazing ladies from the very beginning. Honestly, I can&#8217;t say enough about Janice Thompson&#8217;s fantastic skills at bringing characters to life. This book probably has one of every single type of person that you know&#8230;from the snob, to the insecure and everything in between.<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/s227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/?action=view&amp;current=Name2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Photobucket\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/i227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/Name2.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>I received a copy of this book for the purpose of this review.
