Books & Spoons Review: KISS THE BRIDE by Rachael Johns

It seems that wedding fever has hit the little town of Marietta...

And that suits single mom, Magdalena Davis, just fine. It means the local gossips will stop hounding her about returning to town and the secret she’s kept for fifteen years. Home to make peace with her sick mother, the last thing Mags wants is to get involved in Marietta’s big celebrity wedding. But when her teenage daughter cajoles her into auditioning to sing with a local heartthrob, all her plans for flying under the radar zoom out of the window.

Country music singer, Jake Kohl, has lost his muse. He’s jaded from years of life in the fast lane and wants to settle in Marietta and lead a normal life. He reluctantly agrees to sing at the celebrity wedding, but what he doesn't expect is his co-singer to reignite his passion. But it’s not just the music she awakes in him. Magdalena makes Jake feel and want things he hasn’t for far too long, but there’s more to her than meets the eye.

Can Jake solve the mystery that is Magdalena and win her heart?

This wedding novella from Marietta, Montana made me smile all the way through. It is so heartwarming, full of joy and wonder of life.
The instant attraction, chemistry, connection Jake has with Magdalena is steaming hot, yet at the same time tender and rather fragile. The fact that this famous country star is so down to earth, nice, and respectful is a true delight. His admiration of Magdalena, the way he is patient with her, willing to wait for her, and letting her take the time she needs is so attractive. And when Magdalena opens her heart and tells him her secret, about her past, the understanding and protectiveness from Jake melted my heart. Not to mention the ice cream addiction...  
Take a blanket, go out in the sun and melt away with this wedding novella, that is celebrating the bliss of falling in love
