Love on a Whim





About the book:
Brynn Haywood's impulsive marriage to a man she'd known less than 24 hours leaves her with deep regret. She flees to Cape Cod, finding refuge with her loyal friend, Dawn Dixon. As Brynn grapples with her emotions, Dawn acts swiftly, eager to help secure a lawyer for her through her mother Marnie's good friend, Lincoln Hayes. However, Lincoln's preoccupation with his daughter's lavish wedding brings unexpected challenges.
 
The arrival of Lincoln's estranged son, Bear Hayes, stirs the waters further. Alarmed by his father's extravagant generosity toward the Dixon family, Bear ignites friction between Marnie and Lincoln. As the wedding day arrives, Lincoln vanishes--and an unwelcome guest makes a surprise appearance.
 
Bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher delights with this sweet story of love, family, and the unpredictability of life.

My thoughts:
I have been looking forward to this book because I enjoyed the fist two in the series.  This is Book 3 in the Cape Cod Creamery series by Suzanne Woods Fisher.  I feel like I've gotten to know these characters in the first two books so was glad to visit them again in this one.

I found it odd that one of the main characters (Brynn) married a guy she'd known less than 24 hours.  That seemed like a weird basis for a story.  I liked the aspect of the story of everyone helping out with the wedding preparations for Lincoln's daughter.  I was cheering for Lincoln to be able to reconnect with his adult children after not being present in their childhood because it seemed that is what he longed to do. Overall I enjoyed this story. 

I loved this cover when I first saw it!  The colors of the book and details on the cake are fabulous!  Also, the ice cream quotes at the beginning of the chapters make me smile......here's one from chapter12....

"My brain said salad but my stomach autocorrected it to ice cream."--unknown

I hope you will check out this book as well as the other two in this series by Suzanne Woods Fisher.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher and was under no obligation to provide a positive review.

Have a day of blessings!
