A Wedding Blunder in the Black Hills Book Review
What a charming contemporary romance! I loved the premise of two main characters trying to pretend that they’re dating so their nosy mothers will stop trying to set them up on dates. They’re pretending proved to be futile as they slowly start to develop feelings for one another, and as I furiously turned the pages, I loved every minute of it.
This story had a little more depth than most contemporary romances. Millie had a lot of baggage – like A LOT – and believed that she was doomed to continue a family cycle of leaving/quitting/giving up when things got hard. If she had only known the real reasons behind her father leaving when she was 10 years old, all of her decisions could have been made differently. David was the perfect hero for her, though…fiercely protective, yet cautious.
The supporting characters deserve to be mentioned, too! Millie’s meddling aunts, David’s mother, David’s ex-girlfriend, David’s son, David’s housekeeper…each one was unique and distinct in their own way, and added to the personality of this small South Dakota town.
I was a little confused by the title as it didn’t really fit the story until the very last page. In spite of that, it was a very enjoyable and oftentimes, hilarious read. Fans of Pepper Basham or rom-coms will find A Wedding Blunder in the Black Hills to be right up their alley. 🙂
