I straight up loved Kissing the Maid of Honor. Ms. Bielman writes from the heart and it shows. Her characters are real people I want to sit down and pass the time of day with. I love getting lost in a story and I really did get lost in Kissing the Maid of Honor.Sela has promised to be the maid of honor to her best friend Vanessa. She's dismayed to find the man she'll be partnered with will be none other than her high-school crush, Vanessa's brother, Luke Watters who's back in town after ten years away. Luke never forgot the kissing booth of their youth when Sela's perfect lips molded against his. Unexpected and very real emotions caused him to throw out a line that crushed Sela. She's his best friends sister! He can't have feelings for her. He leaves not long after for college and to forge a life for himself away from the town his forefathers founded.As the wedding approaches, Sela and Luke spend time together and we see the sparks fly. The dialogue between them sparkles. Luke and Sela fight their growing attraction, each knowing it will only last until the wedding, when Luke will return to his adventurer photographer lifestyle. Luke isn't a settling down, small town boy, and I have to say I could happily live in the small town of Cascade, Oregon with Sela and her friend's as my family. Sela stole my heart with her compassion, her love of life and her gentle nature but she knows her own mind and she speaks it. I loved her.If you're looking for real characters written with love, laughter and heartwarming poignancy then I highly recommend this book.This is the first Bliss I've read from Robin Bielman and I can't wait for her next. I hope it's Shane's story. He had me laughing out loud.Five Stars!
