This book felt like a hallmark Christmas movie. It's a sweet and quick read. I enjoyed the description of the town and of the special wedding gown. I liked Jo and Buck but would have liked to get to know them better.

This is a heartwarming tale when you want to experience the joy, magic and love that Christmas brings. It also emphasizes how important family is and especially during the holiday season. Jo and Buck were meant to be and once they realized it, no fear was keeping them apart.

How could anyone not enthuse over this very special story? Even me, Scrooge-ish as I am, fell in love with the town of Hearts Bend, its residents, and the legend (facts) of a significantly, supremely, special wedding gown designed and sewn in 1912, in Birmingham, AL, by a black seamstress [read between the lines]: a gown which has endured 108 years and multiple brides, each with her own special story. This trrasured story is a Novella in Rachel Hauck's THE WEDDING COLLECTION (3.5).

” The Wedding Dress Christmas” is a novella in Rachel Hauck’s Wedding Collection. It was so nice to return to Heart’s Bend, Tennessee and revisit some of the characters from the previous Wedding books. This novella tells JoJo and Buck’s story. They were friends in high school and get reacquainted with one another were he come back to town. I always like to read a few books in December that take place during Christmas time and this book was a great way to spend an afternoon.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This book was received as an ARC from Hauck House in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I love reading a good holiday story in the middle of the holiday season. The Wedding Dress Christmas at first really generated a lot of questions such as why would this dress be such a prominent object for a miracle? Why would a country singer be so fond of a hometown girl and lastly, what is this miracle that is being said and why is it so important? All of those questions were answered throughout the book with the love story of JoJo and Buck and how their love grew strong on the holiday and how this wedding dress made JoJo break out of her shell and destined Buck for greatness with his country music career. A great read for the holiday season that will leave your body and heart feeling warm inside.

We will consider adding this title to our Holiday Romance collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

The Wedding Dress Christmas was a fun, light read. I enjoyed it, as I have other novels by Rachel Hauck.
