Christmas Weddings are the Worst Best-Faith, flannel, and festive fiascos-what could go wrong?
A clean, funny, and faith-filled Christmas romance novel that shows it's all fun and faith until a couple decides to tie the knot!
Monique Lovelace has dreamed of a Christmas wedding ever since she was a little girl-the twinkling lights, the snow-kissed photos, and the man of her dreams, Alex Patterson, waiting at the altar. After completing premarital counseling months ago, she's confident they're ready to say "I do."
But when the pastors who they ask to officiate insist on restarting counseling as a nonnegotiable condition, their holiday plans start to unravel faster than a strand of tangled lights.
Between awkward questions, old insecurities, and unexpected truths, Monique and Alex are forced to confront the cracks beneath their picture-perfect romance. Can they rediscover what drew them together in the first place-and learn to put God at the heart of their happily ever after?
Full of humor, heart, and holiday spirit, Christmas Weddings are the Worst Best is a joyful reminder that love is messy, grace is real, and God's timing is always perfect.
Hobbs, Marie: - "As a person who fell in love with books before she could read and created stories before she could write, Marie Hobbs is an avid reader. As a hopeful romantic, she read numerous romance novels. As a Christian, she sought out stories with the same values as her own. As she grew older (and hopefully wiser), it became increasingly difficult to find characters she could relate to and books that she could enjoy from cover to cover. She wanted to see herself, her friends, and her family reflected in the books she was reading. Main characters who were people of color thriving in their careers, growing in God, and approaching life with humor and grace. Since she couldn't find enough of the books she wanted to read, she started writing them. Blending real-life experiences, storylines conceived over the years, and creative license, the Unexpected Love Series was born-later-in-life inspirational romances with people of color as the main characters."
