★★★☆☆

Danica and Kaylie Snow are about to celebrate
the biggest day of their lives – their double wedding – on an island in
the Bahamas. But no wedding is complete without a little family drama.
The two sisters aren’t ready to face the father they haven’t seen since
he divorced their mother and moved away to marry his mistress and live
with Lacy, the half sister they’ve never met.

While Danica has
exchanged letters and phone calls with Lacy, Kaylie has fervently tried
to pretend she doesn’t exist. Lacy is sweet, fun, and nearly a mirror
image of Kaylie. To make matters worse, not only is Lacy looking forward
to meeting her sisters, but she idolizes them, too. As the countdown to
the wedding date ticks on, their parents are playing a devious game of
revenge, and there’s a storm brewing over the island, threatening to
cancel their perfect wedding. The sisters are about to find out if the
bond of sisterhood really trumps all.

My Review

While I liked this book, it was definitely not a favorite.  I have to admit that I went into this book with a lot of assumptions which may have affected my enjoyment of the story.  This is the third book in the Snow Sisters and it really needs to be read after the previous two books.  I really thought going into this book that this would tell the story of the third daughter that I knew we would meet in this installment in the series.  Lacy does play an important role in this book but I found this to be a continuation of Danica’s story more than anything else.

Danica and her sister, Kaylie, are both planning to marry the man of their dreams in a double wedding ceremony.  This book takes place in the days leading up to the wedding and goes through the wedding.  Danica and Lacy see their father for the first time in years and meet their sister, Lacy.  There is a lot of drama involving both parents and a lot is revealed.  
This book is told from Danica’s point of view and it seemed to focus on her insecurities more than anything.  There is the hint of a few new romances that seem to be blooming in the days around the wedding but we don’t get more than just a hint.  I will be honest and tell you that I really wanted to see more of those romances.  I was really surprised by the lack of romance in this story.  Yes, there were some good scenes between Blake and Danica but that wasn’t the real focus.  I think that Danica spent more time trying to keep the peace between everyone in her family than anything else. 
B.J. Harrison did a great job with the narration.  I think that he does a really nice job with all of the different character voices and is able to add a lot of emotion to his reading.  He has a very pleasant voice that is easy to listen to for hours at a time.  I think that his narration added to my enjoyment of this audiobook.
I think that a lot of readers will enjoy this book more than I did.  I was glad to see Danica and Kaylie’s stories come to a close and am looking forward to seeing more from some of these characters.


I received a copy of this audiobook from the author/publicist.

    I've got several of her books on my Kindle and I vaguely recall that a few might be from the Snow Sisters series. Good to know that if I jump in to do it in order. The narrator sounds like a strong asset to the story. I'll have to watch for more of his work.

    I don't think I've read anything by this author and this does sound like an interesting premise. Too bad the balance of romance wasn't better.
