A fun road trip romance to the Grand Tetons!

Always the wedding planner, never the bride. 

Hope Rodriguez loves planning weddings. There’s nothing more special than helping a bride become a princess for a day, but she’s not sure that’s her calling in life anymore. If only she had her own special someone. Her only current prospect leaves her with more questions than answers about where she falls in his list of priorities. Yet, when a lifelong friend asks her to plan a destination wedding across the country in only two weeks, she’ll have to figure out how to pull off the impossible…alone. 

After being burned as a child and deserted by his family, Caleb Donnelly has an intimate relationship with pain. Despite all he’s endured, one ache refuses to leave him—the throbbing in his heart where Hope is concerned. So when Hope needs help with their friend’s wedding, he can’t stop himself from volunteering to travel two thousand miles to Jackson, Wyoming. As long as he keeps his feelings in check, he might not ruin their friendship. Because a beautiful woman like Hope could never love a scarred man like him. 

When Hope and Caleb’s plans go up in flames, it’s their hearts that might never recover.

I enjoy a good Christian Romance novel and Janet W. Ferguson has become a favorite author in this genre. Holding On To Hope is the latest book that I have read by this author. It is the 7th book in the Coastal Hearts series. I have read several of the other books in this series and was excited to read this one. 

Hope Rodriguez loves being a Wedding Planner and helping others make their Wedding dreams come true. She has always hoped she would find "The ONE" so she can walk down the aisle also. Her current boyfriend has recently told her he doesn't ever want to get married. She is honored when a friend asks her to be the Wedding planner for his wedding. She now has 2 weeks to plan a destination wedding in only 2 weeks, 2000 miles away, and by herself. Caleb Donnelly is a friend of Hope's and he volunteers to help her with this wedding, as it is for a mutual friend of theirs. Caleb knows he will have to keep his feelings in check while helping her. He has had feelings for her since they were teenagers, but he doesn't think Hope will see beyond his burn scars. Will Hope and Caleb be able to get the Wedding planned and make it a special day for their friend? Will Hope and Caleb see each other beyond a friendship? 

WOW, I was captivated by this book from page 1. The wedding planner storyline was what reeled me in and had me keep reading. I had wanted to be a wedding planner when I was younger, although it never happened. Hope is a great character and I really like how she is dedicated to her work, but makes sure to find time to be in a relationship. She is discouraged by the status of her relationship but keeps going. Caleb is an AMAZING character. He truly values his friendship with Hope, so he has held his feelings for her inside for many years. I LOVE how he volunteers to help Hope on this 2-week turnaround for a Wedding. The way the 2 work together and feelings are finally exposed is really the BEST part of the book!  I also really LOVE how Caleb's Faith in God is a part of this book. This book is one of God's plans is greater than our plan! Janet W. Ferguson is an AMAZING Author.  I am really enjoying this Book Series, and after reading 3 books in this series, I am excited to read the entire series! WONDERFUL Book!
