A light hearted story of Bella Rossi and her big, fat, Italian family, and family business. Bella inherited the family wedding planning business and is attempting to coordinate her first ever Boot-Scootin wedding event. However, Bella has NO knowledge of country music, and is without a DJ. Overhearing a phone conversation in her uncles pizza shop, Bella gets the name of a prospective DJ. Duh-wayne Neeley. However, during their first meeting she finds out that he is no Deejay, but DJ, Dwayne Neeley, Jr! However the show must go on! Will Bella and DJ be able to pull off the Texas themed wedding? Will there be sparks between Bella and Duh-wayne? Can country merge with Italian?


This book is fantastic! I truly couldn't put it down! You almost feel like you are part of the Rossi family! To the point of wanting to cover your ears sometimes! The book is engaging and a lot of fun! It draws you in with Italian food and keeps you there with a cowboy and a southern draw!
The characters are fun and easy to relate to, you can really sympathise with them and their situations! Who doesn't know what it is like to feel overwhelmed in a new, scary position (much like Bella AND DJ?) And if you ever wondered what it would be like to have a large family, this book will certainly give you the idea!

Bella, the main character, is part of a large Italian family residing in Galveston. She also is the new manager of the family business. A lovable girl with a big heart, however Bella feels that her name doesn't match her face. Bella spends her life planning weddings for others, but sometimes wonders if she will ever plan her own.

DJ Neeley, or Dwayne, the true blue southern cowboy from Splendora who stumbles into the role of deejay for the Texas themed wedding Bella is planning. Kind hearted, and handsome to boot, could DJ be the cowboy that Bella didn't know she was waiting for?

I live pretty close to Splendora, so the setting was just wonderful. And Janice does a wonderful job of describing both Splendora and Galveston.

This book is really worth the read. You may even find yourself wanting to try out a pair of cowboy boots!!
