About the Book

Book: The Wedding Dress Christmas
Author: Rachel Hauck
Genre: Romance, Christmas
Release Date: October 22, 2019

December covers quaint Heart’s Bend, Tennessee with a blanket of white and the glitter of Christmas lights.

For JoJo Castle there’s no place like home. It’s her safe place. Her one-time love of adventure ended when life in the big city shattered her hopes and dreams. Now that she’s returned to Hearts Bend, she never wants to leave again.

Buck Mathews, the biggest country singing sensation in decades, has the world on a string – his guitar strings, to be exact. However, when news of his mother’s illness sends him back to Hearts Bend for the holiday season, he remembers how good it can be to live among family and friends.

Working with her cousin Haley in The Wedding Shop, JoJo has no aspirations of love. Leaving home, surrendering her heart again, is just too risky.

When she runs into her friend and high school crush Buck Mathews, she discovers Love might have other plans for her.

Buck’s career is on the verge of a momentous leap. But seeing JoJo awakens feelings he’d buried long ago. Falling in love is easy, but winning her heart will take more than one of his melodic tunes and clever lyrics.

JoJo and Buck want opposite things for their lives, leaving no room for compromise. Can love, especially the kind that touches hearts at Christmastime, overcome her fears and his quest for greatness?

When a very special gown – the wedding dress – begins to make its presence known, JoJo and Buck’s hearts bend in a way neither ever thought possible.

In My Opinion

In The Wedding Dress Christmas, Rachel Hauck returns to small-town Tennessee and the mystery of an anointed wedding dress. Then she adds the wonder and celebration of Christmas in for good measure.

I enjoyed visiting Heart’s Bend and catching up with some beloved characters while meeting a few new ones. Don’t worry if you haven’t read the other books, though, this novella stands just fine on its own (but be warned, you’ll probably be adding the others to your TBR).

Jojo Castle is easy to relate to. She gives of her time and talents to her town and family, and with her PR background, she’s a good person to have in your corner. But she’s also prone to knee jerk reactions that set her into motion without much thought of her current situation (which, at times, can be humorous). Yet, Jojo uses Heart’s Bend as her security blanket to hide from the big bad world—to the point she’s no longer chasing her dreams.

Enter Buck Mathews—former best friend and current country music sensation who has come home to spend the holidays with his family. Buck’s got a good head on his shoulders and cares for the important people in his life. But can two people on different trajectories make a relationship work?

The Wedding Dress Christmas is the perfect gift for anyone seeking a quick, uplifting holiday read with romance and the magic of the season.
