Wedding Tails: A Limited Edition Romance Anthology Paperback – February 13, 2023

This is an amazing book with many wonderful stories. I loved it.This review is for Searching for Ever After by Sharon WrayI loved this story, the couple getting married after a long separation but the flower girl and ring bearer have gone missing. Will they be able to find the flower girl and ring bearer so the wedding can go off as planned?This review is for Save the Date for a Cowboy by Jennie MartsI loved this story, the relationship between Elizabeth "Bitsy" and Ford is amazing. There are some misunderstanding along the way but they are a perfect match.

Wedding Tails is proving to be a great anthology with dogs and romance galore. I always enjoy the Teri Anne Stanley stories. I’ve read them all. This short story is just as good. There is always a back story which allows me to learn something new and there is also always a good bit of humor. Sometimes a good belly laugh, sometimes more subtle humor. I enjoyed the mental visual of dogs accompanying each member of the wedding party. While I read the Stanley story first, I am reading the others as well. The individual books by the other authors in this group will definitely be on my reading list. That should keep me busy for the next few months. Thanks, ladies!

Save the Date for a Cowboy by Jennie Marts"Bitsy" didn't really want to be a Bridesmaid at her Cousin Brody's wedding. She never wanted to stray out of her comfort zone. But she was going to try this weekend to do things a little out of that zone.She meets a really hot cowboy named Ford, who is filling in for a missing groomsman.This was a really cute novella that I just could not put down. I think you will enjoy it as well.

Debbie Burns is one of my favorite authors and her sweet story of Tess, Mason and their dog, John Ronald, is so engaging! She is the first author I have read who gives each of her characters’ perspective, including the dog’s! I also like that she gets into the deeper feelings and thoughts of them. What an excellent story!Of course, I read her story first since she’s my favorite, but I’m looking forward to reading all of the Wedding Tails stories.

I enjoyed all 7 stories in this anthology. I bought it for one, and have now found new authors to add to my TBR.

Wedding Tails is an anthology of seven novellas by seven amazing authors. All of the stories have adorable dogs involved that are sure to make your hearts melt.SAVE THE DATE FOR A COWBOY by Jennie MartsThis novella is also a prequel to Jennie’s first book in her brand new series, Lassiter Ranch, Love at First Cowboy. It also features some of the characters you would meet in her series, Creedence Horse Rescue, which is amazing by the way.Ford Lassiter was a last minute substitution as a groomsman for Brody and Elle’s wedding. Elizabeth “Bitsy” Cole is a cousin of Brody’s and is one of the bridesmaids. Ford and Elizabeth are immediately drawn together and Ford just can’t seem to stay away. They spend all the time they can together and their feelings start to grow. But, the weekend didn’t end the way either of them hoped. These two made me smile so much. Elizabeth was adorable and a little bit of a mess! And don’t even get me started on their cute dogs.Two Weddings and a Husky by Debbie BurnsTess Grasso is a dog trainer at the High Grove Animal Shelter in St. Louis. She has been in a relationship for two years with Mason Redding, the Red Birds’ beloved third baseman. Together they own a very high spirited husky named John Ronald.

Mason is really just a country boy at heart and Tess has anxiety, especially dealing with all the negativity on line regarding whether she is a good match for Mason or not. When we are first introduced to these two, they are attending a high profile wedding for Mason’s good friend in Napa Valley. It was clear from the start how much these two loved each other. And of course, John Ronald was adorable.Wedding Bells in Magnolia Bay by Babette JonghOkay, this little book was beyond adorable. This is a new to me author but I loved the way she told this story, with part of it being from the little dog, Rose’s point of view. I was completely smitten.“Things didn’t always go as planned. But sometimes they turned out even better.”Mike Miller is just on his way back to Magnolia Bay when his life is forever changed. A crash, a terrified little dog and later, a wedding planner brings a joy to his life he never knew.Rescuing the Groomsman by Teri Anne StanleyJake Williams has returned from deployment with a brain injury.

They are marrying in a hidden chapel on a secluded island of Georgia. But the night before the wedding, the daughter of one of their friends disappears along with their dog. And at the same time, evil men are in the area. This one was pretty suspenseful. The only thing was, it was hard for me to grasp everything. It read more as a continuation of an existing story so for me, it was a little confusing.I have enjoyed all of these novellas and getting to try out all of the new authors. Only one author was previously known to me. I did have two favorites of the bunch, Jennie Mart’s and also Babette Jongh’s. Her book read as a complete story, even with an epilogue and I am still thinking about it and that cute little dog, Rose. If you enjoy weddings and romances that include adorable dogs, you will enjoy this anthology.

I am reviewing the Wedding Bells in Magnolia Bay novella by Babette de Jongh included in the Wedding Tails.I really enjoyed this book! It took me back to Magnolia Bay and the Bayside Barn with the wedding of Abby and Quinn.The romance between Mike and Maggie was so sweet. It was even sweeter with the introduction of the "damn dog" which was later called Rose. She was the funniest thing. The bath scene had me laughing, with the meeting the cat Teddy came in a mere 2nd!Reva and her friend Edna didn't miss a beat in having their hands in Mike and Maggie's meeting. Reva always has her ways of using the sweet animals to help her to her bidding, ha ha!This book was so refreshing and fun to read, that I'm so sad that I finished so fast!!Babette de Jongh does not disappoint with her books. You will always find a heart lifting feel good story from her!

I had trouble in the beginning understanding what was going on. One of the lines described me "you were lost, I was searching." This is a great story of lost love, a wedding, a lost girl and her dog, and evil doers.This is for Searching For Ever After 4 starsGreat chemistry between Bitsy, a bridesmaid, and Ford, the stand-in groomsman. A story that will touch your heart, make you laugh and wish for more.This is for Save the date for a cowboy. 5 stars
