Our Bridal Shop Match Made in Devon Bridal Shop Book 1 eBook Danielle Blair

I purchased this book because I started reading the second book in the series “The Butterfly Dream” and realized that I really needed to reed the first book in order to understand the second. If you start reading this book thinking it is a romance you will be disappointed. This is family drama with messy characters. Some people have said they didn’t like the book because they didn’t find Alex likable. She did do some unlikeable things in her past and was not very nice to her half sister but her character was growing and evolving. She was real with real emotions and emotions are messy. The premise of the book was good but there were parts that were hard to follow. This writer is still developing her craft and I think she has the makings of a great writer

Our Bridal Shop Match Made in Devon Bridal Shop Book 1 eBook Danielle Blair Reviews

Our Bridal Shop is the first book in the Match Made in Devon series. It centers around two sisters who live completely different lives and reunite for the reading of their mother’s will. They discover they have a half-sister they never knew existed and all three are forced to spend time together to decide what they’re going to do about the bridal shop they inherited.

There were a few times the story would go in an unusual direction and I’d get lost for a minute but just as quickly I’d catch up. It’s difficult to explain but I think that’s just the author’s writing style. The story itself is wonderful. It’s about love and loss, hopes and dreams, family, friendship, forgiveness, and redemption. I’ve never read Danielle Blair prior to Our Bridal Shop but now I can’t wait to for the rest of the book in the series to come out!

I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review. Thank you to NetGalley, Relay Publishing, and Danielle Blair for the opportunity!
Alex’s mom had passed on and she was at the cemetery with her younger sister Charlotte. Six weeks Charlotte was still unraveled. Their family owned a bridal shop- Charlotte had one day found her mother dead of a head attack. Alex had went away went to school and now had a life in Boston but Charlotte had stayed and worked in the bridal shop. Alex needed to be on a plane back to Boston. The weather would probably cause her flight to be canceled. The nation’s largest distributor of blood supply was counting on Alex to saved an eleventh hour Argistie solutions, guaranteeing her promotion to Vice President of network solutions in her climb up the ladder. Her father had quit his job his travelin job and had been gone about sixteen days leaving his wife and two daughters behind. Their father had slept with another woman. Alex was to meet her half sister Freesia Day. Charlotte said Alex had been ugly back at the lawyers and Alex said they had been raised on lies. Each sister had been handed an envelope written by their father who had died five years earlier. Charlotte asked Alex what happened to her. She used to love this place and the people . Now she can’t seem to remember the person she was before she left. Alex agreed to stay one week. She should apologize. She asked if she should have invited her father’s illegitimate daughter in for tea? Freesia showed up at the shop Alex stepped aside to let Freesia enter. Freesia stepped inside, her chin leveled, her eyes caged, thoughtful and deliberate. She made no move to remove her bag, her coat, her guard. Freesia now owned a third of the bridal shop but it barely holding its own.
I couldn’t really get into this book. It just wasn’t for me. I am sure others would really like it. But as I said it wasn’t for me.
Our Bridal Shop by Danielle Blair (Match Made in Devon Bridal Shop Book 1) begins after the funeral of Alexandra's and Charlotte's mother, Ella. Charlotte notices a stranger at the cemetery, a way off from the rest of the mourners and wonders momentarily who she is but then gets on with it. They next see her at the reading of their mother's will at the lawyers office where they are each handed a letter written by their father, before he died, over five years earlier. They are then introduced to the young, mixed-race woman they had seen earlier she is their half--sister, the daughter of their father. She has inherited 1/3 of the bridal shop that their parents had owned; a bridal shop that is barely holding its own. Charlotte has always worked in the shop but Alex had gone away to school and never come home. She now lived in Boston, she had a husband, and she had a high-paying job in the computer industry. She wasn't going to stay.

Our Bridal Shop had a good plot, rife with everyday problems faced by many people in today's society marriages that weren't meeting expectations, businesses that were failing, and unanswered question. The characters were good each of the three sisters having a distinct and clear personality. Their mother's friends that knew what should be done, whether the sisters agreed or not. We all know these ladies. Some of the peripheral characters were full of personality as well. It made for an enjoyable read. The writing seemed a little muddy sometimes but it all came together at the end. I recommend it. It was an enjoyable read. An excellent read by what appears to be
a new author.

I received a free ARC of Our Bridal Shop in exchange for a fair and honest review.
