    About this ebook

    Herman Edward Heckley knows all about drywall, concrete, and nail guns. So what's he doing fighting off taffeta in a bridal salon? He's maid of honor for his best friend, Caroline Oakenfeld, in her wedding to a pencil-necked geek. But the closer he gets to the ceremony, the more he wonders if he's been missing out all this time.

    Caroline has been missing out, and she knows it. She's been in love with Heck forever, but frittering her life away until Heck wises up isn't part of her life plan. She's agreed to marry her boyfriend so she can move on with her life. But the closer she gets to the ceremony, the more she realizes she has to resolve her feelings for Heck.
    For better or for worse.

      “Kiss The Bride” by Jody Wallace is a novella length story – 115 pages for $1.99, published by Entangled (Ever After division). Caroline is getting married to a “pencil neck geek” and has asked her best friend, “Heck” (Herman Heckley) to be her “maid” of honor. They are days away from the wedding, and all of a sudden, EVERYONE is getting cold feet!When I first read about the book, I immediately thought, “Uh oh. It’s gonna be a rehash of ‘Made of Honor’ or ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’“. I was happy to find out that no – it’s NOT just a rehash! Okay, so we all realize this is going to end up with the two of them realizing they love each other… but the way they get there isn’t formulaic and is actually quite hysterical in sections. Jody Wallace relays her impressions of how Heck handles gown shopping, decorating for the bachelorette party (envision duct tape bows & shower curtains as wall coverings) and being the focus of the stripper he hired for the party. The author does a great job also showing how easily miscommunication happens between men and women, and you find yourself rooting out loud for Heck & Caroline to make the right choices and COMMUNICATE.Such a great novella – read it right through with a smile on my face. Great beach read or carpool pick-up lane read!
    • 3/5
      2 1/2 stars. Such promise--one of my favorite troupes!--but it never quite got there. Sooooo many things the characters did, said, and thought just made no sense. Caroline, Jhi, Heck...I really didn't understand their motivations throughout most of the book. So many things could have been fixed quickly and easily with just one honest conversation. Parts were cute, but overall it felt like most of the drama was fairly contrived.I recieved an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
