Picture Perfect By Janice H. Thompson Giveaway!




Feisty wedding photographer Hannah McDermott has dealt with her share of difficult brides. But none can compare to the ultimate Bridezilla she's dealing with now. Still, she's trying desperately to impress Bella Neeley, Galveston Island's most sought-after wedding planner, so she can take the top spot in Bella's list of recommended photographers--a spot currently occupied by her arch-rival, Drew Kincaid. What she doesn't count on, however, is falling head over heels for the competition.

With her contagious humor and cast of quirky characters, Janice Thompson gives readers more of the bridal business drama they want in a brand-new series all about those long-suffering people who make beautiful weddings happen. Readers are desperately waiting for more of Bella and this new series brings her back in a big way, while introducing new characters fans will love. Fans will laugh out loud as they experience this breezy and entertaining novel from a great storyteller.
Pick up a copy



Janice Thompson is a seasoned romance author and screenwriter. An expert at pulling the humor from the situations we get ourselves into, Thompson offers an inside look at the wedding business, drawing on her own experiences as a wedding planner. She is the author of the Weddings by Bella series and the Backstage Pass series. She lives in Texas all alone.

This the first book I have read by Janice.
I want to start by saying that I have  heard great things about this author, how most of her books all full of humor. And fun easy reads. So I was thinking that was what I was going to be reading.  A fun, easy, fast read.
While the read was cute it just felt like a first draft as if she rushed to write it.
The characters seemed way to cookie cutter to me, maybe it was just me.
So I well leave you with this, this book was not my cup of tea. I give it 3 stars.
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher

    This is what I love about you and your blog. You tell us like it is and you are honest about what you read. I have heard of this author but have never read her books. I will not be buying this book for sure. you have great taste in books and I have always enjoyed the books that you tell us are ones worth buying.

    Janice is one of my favorite authors. The Weddings by Bella series, which sparked this new one, has quirky characters and humor with romance mixed in - just the way I like it. Everyone has their preferences in reading. I happen to enjoy this author's style and have recommended her books often. I have just about all of her other books, but I haven't gotten this one yet.

    Thank you for your honesty and as everyone else has said, I trust you as well. I too thought this book sounded interesting, but based upon what you said would prefer not to read it as well. Blessings, Susan Fryman
