Review: Fools Rush In by Janice Thompson

Wedding coordinator Bella is preparing for her first themed wedding, but what does a down home Italian girl know about cowboys, even if she does live in Texas? Still, that’s the theme her couple has chosen, and Bella throws everything into it, right down to ordering a bunch of used cowboy boots off of eBay to use as decor. Still, eighty pair? Whatever was she thinking?

That’s not her only worry. She needs a DJ familiar with country western music, and her whacky family runs to Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. So when she overhears a stranger talking on the phone to a DJ about music, she begs for the guy’s number and asks him if he’s willing to come down to the wedding headquarters. Turns out the guy’s initials are DJ and, though he certainly knows the music, he’s not a deejay. By then Bella has fallen for him (literally, in a dead faint!) and there’s no turning back.

What do you get with three generations of Italians live in one house? Loud, passionate arguments, an old lady chasing a neighbor kid with a broom, an old man with mob connections trying to ‘save’ a parrot, and plenty of rivalry over who’s the best cook. Then blend that family with a small-town Southern family (Duh-wayne’s) and see if you get a melting pot or more fireworks.

If you’re looking for a humorous read, look no further than Fools Rush In, Book 1 in the Weddings by Bella series. The other two books in the series are both already out, so no need to wait once you’re hooked on Bella’s life! At the time of this writing, the Kindle version of Fools Rush In is free on Amazon. Remember that you don’t need a Kindle to download it, but that the Kindle app is free for PCs, Macs, and various smart phones, including the iPhone.
