From the publisher:
Bella Rossi's life is just starting to get interesting. When her Italian-turned-Texan parents hand over the family wedding-planning business, Bella quickly books a Boot-Scootin' wedding that would make any Texan proud. There's only one catch--she doesn't know a thing about country music. Where will she find a deejay on such short notice who knows his Alan Jackson from his George Strait? And will Bella ever get to plan her own wedding?
Fun, fresh, and full of surprises, this flavorful combination of Italian and Tex-Mex highlights the hilarity that ensues when cultures clash.
My Review:
If you love Italian food, crazy relatives, and hunky cowboys you will really enjoy Fools Rush In, the first book in the Weddings by Bella series by Janice Thompson. The best part about this book in my opinion, is Guido, he's got a dirty mouth and throws out insults at everyone but by the end of the story he gets "saved." Oh, did I mention he's a parrot?! His antics had me laughing throughout the book and let me just say this, he helps at least one person find his true self or at least his true hair...or lack there of!
You will never get bored reading this one but with a wedding planning business, a jealous ex, and ties (if you can call 'em that) to the mob; that's no surprise. Janice did such a wonderful job with this one, especially the hero, DJ. I thought he was going to be an Italian turned cowboy but he wasn't. However, I wasn't disappointed in the least, I liked him sawdust covered hair and all! And poor Bella, I can sure relate to her! I don't live in the same house as my extended family but up until recently they have all lived pretty close and let me tell you there was no keeping of secrets between us!
I really look forward to Book 2, Swinging on a Star and the antics that are sure to take place when Bella and her family plan a Renaissance themed wedding.
