Description

USA TODAY BESTSELLER • A classic novel from fan favorite Debbie Macomber, this is an emotional story about fighting for happiness and holding on for true love.

Marrying Glenn Lambert was either the smartest thing Maggie Kingsbury has ever done or the craziest mistake of her life. Best friends as children, they went their separate ways until a chance encounter at a wedding inspires this spontaneous leap of faith. How could she resist the sweet spell of a moonlit night and whispers of show more devotion guaranteed to melt her heart? But past disappointments and unhealed emotions soon start to wreak havoc with their vows.

Glenn knew his heart was bruised when he asked Maggie to marry him. But he meant every word; he's sure they belong together. In so many ways, they're still strangers, but the love he has inside tells him that no matter what happens, it's Maggie he wants forever. Whatever it takes, he'll prove she's the only woman for him.
BONUS: This edition includes excerpts from Debbie Macomber's Last One Home and The Inn at Rose Harbor.

Not my favorite from this author, childhood friends coming together at a friend’s wedding and then deciding to marry on a spur of the moment decision. Too many things about this story frustrated me, the constant miscommunications and misunderstandings just took away from the story. There were realistic aspects, like them growing as a married couple and letting go of the baggage from past relationships but I didn’t like the insta love aspect of it, their relationship needed to be developed more. Overall this was just an okay read for me.
In Macomber’s romance novel, Maggie Kingsbury and Glen Lambert had been close friends in high school only to go their separate ways after graduation. Now they are walking down the aisle as maid of honor and best man in one of their mutual friend’s wedding. With heartaches and hardships in the past, they decide to marry just one day later hoping that a marriage between friends will be the kind that lasts forever.

Wonderful story of choices, regrets and second chances.
