Who could pass up reading an intriguing collection of five road trip romance novellas on a lazy summer day?

Since I enjoyed reading all five romance tales in the Road Trip Collection, I decided to only provide a general book review instead of individual reviews.

Road Trip Collection is an eclectic anthology of six romance novellas from authors Jolene Betty Perry, Sarah M. Eden, Ranee S. Clark, Annette Lyon, Heather B. Moore, Aubrey Mace. Each romance novella flows smoothly from one to the next, and has a unique mixture of road trip romances that will appeal to everyone. Each of the authors weave an intriguing, unique, and thoroughly enjoyable short romance tale with engaging characters, a variety of themes and richly descriptive road trip settings, and enough drama, humor, mystery, and suspense that will easily draw the reader into each story, keep them turning the pages, and leave them wanting more.

Road Trip Collection is the perfect anthology collection of road trip romance novellas to read while at the beach or pool. Each story will certainly peak your interest, and whet your appetite to read more from each of the individual authors featured in this delightful anthology collection.

Disclaimer: I received a copy of the novella collection by the authors / publisher in exchange for my honest review and participation in a book review program hosted by I Am A Reader.

The comedy begins right from the beginning of the book. Shannon is the main character and the book is written in the first person from her perspective. The voice used reminds me of what I imagine a grown up Junie B might be like.

Shannon attends her best friend's sister's wedding. She gets to help serve the refreshments. This is a moment that she has longed for and she is thrilled to be invited, until she meets a boy with a chip on his shoulder who spoils it for her. She also meets a fortune teller who foresees that she will meet her future husband at a wedding reception and he will be wearing a silk tie. This will happen before she turns thirty.

Fast forward several years and the fun part of the story is told. Shannon is attending BYU and takes a choir class to help her learn to sing. A handsome and talented young man sings a solo. She strains to get a better look and passes out. Turns out he is the "jerk face" she met as a kid at the reception mentioned above.

She learns that he has grown up and become a descent man. Too bad he was a "jerk face" because she will never be able to take him seriously. They are best friends, but that is as far as she will ever let her feelings go.

They go on a mission to receptions they are invited to, and crash a few, to help her find the man of her dreams.

The funny thing about life is that sometimes the dreams change. It's up to the person to find out what the new dream is. This is a very clean romance that romance lovers of all ages will enjoy.… (mais)

As a little girl I used to play "wedding."
I was always a beautiful bride with a pretend handsome groom.
This book brought back ALL those fond memories.

I LOVE weddings!
I LOVE humor!
I LOVE sweet romance!

This book has it all and in such a fun manner!

Like me, Shannon LOVES weddings!

While helping serve at her best friends sisters wedding...

She met... (read with drama) ... "the gypsy aunt."

The only thing Shannon loves more than a wedding is a gypsy.

So what was the fortune that the gypsy predicted for Shannon?

"before her thirtieth year, Shannon will meet the man of her dreams at a wedding reception."

Many years, and many wedding receptions later, Shannon is still seeking that "true love."

It is at this point that Shannon's best friend, Nathan, steps in and offers to help her.

HOW?

They are going to attend EVERY wedding reception they hear about...

and they even dare to crash a few...

All in the name of bring the fortune to pass.

FUNNY SITUATIONS ARE AHEAD :)

And who is this Nathan?

Read to find out his fun twist in the story!

LOVED. LOVED. LOVED. THIS. ONE.
A DEFINITE MUST-READ!… (mais)
