OH, NO, THEY'RE ENGAGED! A Sanity Guide for the Mother of the bride or Groom By Joy Smith

OH, NO, THEY'RE ENGAGED! 
A Sanity Guide for the Mother of the bride or Groom



 JOY SMITH

As an author, I'm a late bloomer. It wasn't until my responsibilities eased up that I decided to put together a cookbook as a wedding gift to my oldest child. I collected old photos, wrote captions, and then started to relate family stories. My "gift" ended up as a 250 page, spiral-bound cookbook photocopied (no such thing as apps back then) 50 times to hand out to all my relatives and friends.

From that time on, I've done my best to pass on information intended to make life easier for others. My nautical books are loaded with practical info as well as hard facts. I've never stopped developing and writing down recipes, so it made sense to share them in my Empty Nest Cookbook. And, after surviving three clustered weddings, I just had to pass helpful info to other mothers. I have just contracted to write a comprehensive book on boating.

Several years ago, I joined a group of romance writers and earned my keep by venturing into fiction. My debut novel in fiction, Green Fire, is newly released. I am overhauling a paranormal romance, finishing up another romantic suspense, and plotting a single title contemporary romance.

My Review:
This book was fun to read because I have been married almost 8 years, and I forgot about all of the pre-wedding issues.  I liked when the author compared your daughter getting married to a son getting married. It gave me insight to my brother's wedding. I also really enjoyed the author's humor and I found myself laughing. This would be a great book for any mom whose child is getting married. Even they wedding couple could read through this book to respect their moms more..
I am giving this book a 5/5. Deal Sharing Aunt~ from The Kindle Book Review
