What a sweet and emotional enemies to more, unrequited love, reverse grumpy sunshine, best friend’s brother romance! So many fun tropes and they work so well together!

The Wedding Truce is book four in the Love in Abbottsville series. You can jump in and enjoy it as a stand alone novel, but it is fun to get to know all of the characters throughout the previous stories, as well. Jessa and Ethan make appearances in all of the first three novels. I still need to go back and read book two, and I plan to do that soon. This is a series that I have enjoyed immensely.

This was a really fun Best Friend's Sibling and Enemies to More story that kept me laughing, smiling, swooning and cheering Jessa and Ethan on. I loved that they were also childhood friends and the history that they had. It was so fun watching how that added to their witty banter and the feelings they had for each other, sometimes not the happiest!

I loved how this one opened. Very sneaky family members plotting for Ethan's sister, Ellie's wedding. Ellie and Jessa have been the best of friends, along with some other Soul Sisters. I loved the dynamics of their friendships! It made me think of my own dear bestie friends and the joy they bring into my life.

Jessa and Ethan have to promise to behave for Ellie's wedding. Time to hold their fighting back for just a few days, then all bets are off. But I loved watching the longing and unexpressed true emotions kept coming to the surface. And when they are finally revealed...oh my!!! Watch out for that first kiss!!! *Happy Sigh*

There are some heartbreaks from the past, not necessarily from previous boyfriends/girlfriends. There are some emotions and sorrows that were hard for the characters but I loved watching how that drew them closer together.

Content: Clean. Some kisses but nothing further. Talk of death but nothing graphic.

I received a copy from Victory Editing NetGalley Co-Op, via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions in the review are my own.

Happy Reading!!!

This book hit all the right notes for a feel-good romcom with all my favorite tropes! Set in the adorable backdrop of a wedding, The Wedding Truce serves up a delightful mix of reverse grumpy-sunshine and opposites-attract goodness. Jessa and Ethan are the perfect grump and sunshine duo, bickering yet finding themselves unable to stay away from each other as the festivities unfold.

Jessa’s the last “Solo Sister” standing, reluctantly paired with cheerful Ethan, who’s determined to get under her skin — in the best way possible! Noorman captures the awkward sweetness and sizzling tension so well, especially as Jessa’s walls start to crumble. Their shared moments are heartwarming and hilarious, and even without the spice, this closed-door romance is packed with chemistry.

If you’re looking for a cozy romcom with a healthy dose of wedding shenanigans, this fourth book in the series is worth every one of its 4.5 stars!

Thanks to NetGalley and Victory Editing Co-Op for the opportunity to receive the ARC.

This was a fun read. The grumpy/sunshine trope seems to be very popular right now and this one has the female main character as the grump. This is part of a series but is easily read as a stand-alone without any difficulty. It is a clean read with likeable characters and good pacing. I enjoy this author’s writing style and I recommend this book.

Krista Noorman is a new-to-me author but I have now added her to my must-read list. The characters had a lot in common and had a good spark and connection. This is a fun clean romance. It read fine as a stand alone but I look forward to reading other stories with the characters.

A sweet closed-door romance with childhood friends (who like to argue and pick on each other) who need to get along for a wedding. Found family vibes, which always love. The final book in the series. I’ll have to go back and read the first 3 books!

Thanks to @netgalley for this book in exchange for my honest review. The Wedding Truce is out now!

The Wedding Truce is the 4th book in the series and like the others did not disappoint. In this story we have Jessa and Ethan! These two seem to always fight when they are together. Ethan has loved Jessa forever while Jessa is a girl that doesn't really do love after her mother left and her ex dumped her. While these two are paired up for a wedding, Jessa starts to see a different side of Ethan and her feelings start to grow.
This a cute, no spice, heart warming story. Krista Noorman always does such a great job.

This gave me all the smiles! It was adorable! Loved the fun characters who were very honest and relatable! Loved their journey together through the sisters wedding and the honest feels as they navigate their relationship. So good! Well done Krista Noorman.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
Michigan small town based.

The Wedding Truce by Krista Norman is a heartwarming romance that beautifully blends humor, faith, and personal growth. The story of Nora and Ethan two rivals forced to work together on a wedding, is full of charm and witty banter. The way their relationship unfolds feels authentic with both characters growing individually.

The book’s exploration of Christian values adds depth, as both Nora and Ethan lean on their beliefs to navigate the challenges they face both in love and in life. While the pacing slowed in spots the realistic portrayal of personal faith and the small town setting added to the cozy, uplifting feel of the story.

For those who enjoy faith-based romantic comedies with strong character arcs, The Wedding Truce was a sweet read.

I received this book as an ebook ARC and wasn’t aware this was going to have religious aspects but overall very well written and sweet book. ☺️
No spice 🌶️
Thank you NetGalley and Victory Editing for the ARC ☺️👏🏼
