The Wedding Chapel

Review copy provided via NetGallery in exchange for an honest review

Summary: The Wedding Chapel

For sixty years, a wedding chapel sat silent, waiting for love. But times have changed and the hour has come when it just might be too late.
Retired hall-of-fame football coach Jimmy “Coach” Westbrook never imagined anything would come of his labor of love—the wedding chapel he built for Collette Greer, the woman he fell for back in ‘49. But now an offer has come to turn the chapel into what it was meant to be—a place for love—and Jimmy sees no reason to hang onto his dream any longer.
Photographer Taylor Branson is trying to make a life for herself in New York. Leaving her hometown of Heart's Bend, Tennessee, she put a lot of things behind her, including her family's abysmal marriage rate. But love surprises her when she falls head-over-heels for Jack Forester, a top ad man. Their whirlwind romance results in an elopement, and a mountain of doubt. Jack, while genuine in his love for Taylor, can never seem to overcome his own demons to find the words of his heart.
When Taylor takes an assignment in Heart's Bend, the job does more than send her back to her hometown, but into a world of family secrets buried beneath the sands of time.
When Taylor's journey intersects with Coach's, they rediscover the heartbeat of their dreams and that the love they long to hold is right in front of them. And worth every waiting moment.

Review:

This is a DNF (did not finish)  I couldn’t connect with any of the characters in the book; this is really rear for me. I’ve been trying to read the book since the 24th of Oct, and I just can’t connect with anyone.  I can tell that this is a quality written story. In the almost 200 pages I read, I didn’t see any grammatical or punctuation errors, which mean a lot of time and effort, went into making sure this story was perfect before publishing it. I liked the style of the story. A book of this length normally only takes me a day and a half to read.  I tried multiple times to restart it and see if I could connect with anyone, but after trying for two weeks I give up.

Summary:

Would I recommend this book to others? No, since I couldn’t finish it I can’t honestly recommend this book.

Is this a Novel or Novella?  Novel, which is close to 400 pages.

Would I read others books written by this author?  I’d like to give her another shot, as I did enjoy the writing style.

Is this book priced correctly?  Unsure since this book was a pre-published copy.
