Love, Lace And Minor Alterations by Vanessa Joy Palmer

Overcoming The Mountain

love-laceLove, Lace And Minor Alterations by Vanessa Joy Palmer is a delightful contemporary Christian romance and I loved it.

The novel is set in the Ever After wedding boutique and has wonderful descriptions of the wedding dresses. There is a great feeling of camaraderie and laughter. There is also a counter balance of fear and misunderstanding.

The novel is mainly written in the first person from the point of view of Izze. She is a wonderful mix of confident in what she does and full of fear. She thinks “Repetition is good.

He too is a mix – kind and caring versus unthinking and stubborn. The characters are realistic and easy to empathise with. They are likable too. The characters are all perfectly placed for a fabulous storyline.
