Overview

Get ready for a double dose of wedding frenzy!

Bella couldn't be happier that two of her long-feuding relatives have finally admitted their love for one another and are getting married. Their forties-style wedding is sure to be a night to remember. But when the Rossi house begins to fill up with family from Italy--and an old mobster from New Jersey--life starts to get complicated. Will a friend from the past drive the happy couple apart once more? And will Bella ever have time to think of her own rapidly approaching wedding amid the chaos?

Full of humor, plenty of Italian passion, and a bit of Texas gumption, It Had to Be You will have you laughing out loud and wiping a tear from your eye.

Praise for the Weddings by Bella series:

"A fun, welcome distraction from life's boredom and stress."--Trish Perry, author, Beach Dreams and The Guy I'm Not Dating

"I fell in love with the Rossi clan, a delightful collection of quirky characters who feel as passionately about their pizza as Texans do about chili."--Virginia Smith, author, Third Time's a Charm

"Thompson is a master storyteller. I felt as if I were Bella's best friend, sitting down with her over cups of Italian cappuccino while she told me the latest happenings in her zany family."--Ane Mulligan, editor, Novel Journey

"Sweet romance that sizzles and simmers on every page."--Allison Pittman, author, Stealing Home

Library Journal

Wedding planner Bella Rossi (Fools Rush In; Swinging on a Star) is up to her eyeballs in Italian relatives and chaos as she plans the wedding of her once-feuding Aunt Rosa and Uncle Lorenzo. With all of the hoopla, will she have time to plan her own upcoming nuptials? Hilarity ensues as cultures clash and former mob connections resurface on the way to wedded bliss. VERDICT This romantic comedy is full of laugh-out-loud moments as Texas and Italian cultures meet. The emphasis on ethnicity and family dynamics is sure to appeal to fans of Adriana Trigiani's more secular Lucia, Lucia.
