Mistletoe and Wedding Bells takes the reader back to the Inn at Hope Springs in this third book of the series. The three main characters all get their happily ever after endings but to get there is full of stress, secrets and mayhem. What a fantastic ending!

Stella, the general manager, is ready to marry Jack but first she needs to get total custody of her half-sister Jazz. Naomi, Jazz's mother, is causing havoc every chance she gets to keep Stella from gaining custody. Jack continues to work on their dream house and they are both ready to settle down as a family of three.

Pressley, the event manager, loves her job but misses her new boyfriend Everett who has gone to Nashville to try his luck as a country singer. The issues with her birth mother and the stress of Christmas season at the Inn are keeping her busy and then she decides to plan a surprise wedding for Stella which makes life even more hectic for her.

Cecily, head chef, is planning to get married on Christmas Eve but she's having second thoughts. Is it wedding jitters or real issues that may keep them from getting married. On top of that, there is a new chef in her kitchen who is trying to take her job away.

This is the third and last book in this series but I hope that Ashley decides to write more books about Hope Springs. I hate to say goodbye to the wonderful people that I've met there and would love to see the series continue. ( )
