Bella Rossi’s wedding business has had a successful first themed wedding and now, she’s facing her toughest assignment yet, making a Medieval wedding, complete with a castle and a moat, perfect for the bride-to-be. Bella’s boyfriend, DJ. is so patient with Bella when business causes her to ignore his phone calls, or cancel their dates. And Bella’s aunt Rosa is going to be featured on the Food Network. Everything is perfect!

But then, the bride-to-be introduces the best man, her groom’s best friend, who happens to be a world famous actor, Brock, who happens to be Hollywood’s hottest, and the most eligible bachelor. But then Brock starts showing an interest in Bella. Plus, he is lodging at her house in order to hide from the paparazzi!

When you add Bella’s starstruck sister and a loud, feuding Italian family, you have a recipe for disaster—and a lot of laughs.

SWINGING ON A STAR is the second book in Ms. Thompson’s Weddings by Bella series. I recommend reading book one, Fools Rush In, first, as SWINGING ON A STAR does refer back to it, but if you can’t get your hands on the first book, then there is enough backstory included in SWINGING ON A STAR to be able to figure out what is going on.

I enjoyed reconnecting with Bella, and just knew that things were going to start going wrong—and couldn’t wait for them to start. SWINGING ON A STAR is a fun read that will keep you laughing. And with Valentine’s day approaching, what better time to read a romance? Don’t miss SWINGING ON A STAR. Top ten cruising tips are included at the end of the book. $14.99. 328 pages.

Bella's quirky, crazy family life adds humor to this modern love story.
A light but satisfying series debut that will appeal to fans of Kristin Billerbeck.
