Josh Turner made a fortune as a lead guitarist before drugs and booze led him astray. Now he has a new purpose in life: helping others. When he returns to his hometown of Piper Cove, he learns that Alex’s father, B.J. Butler, owns his old family house and is giving it to his daughter as a wedding present.

Alex agrees to her father’s request to fix up the old house, even though it is where she and Josh lived when they were married. For her, it was not a mere house, but a home, filled with memories of love, of hope for a happy future - a hope that died when Josh left her. Alex works hard to redecorate the place, but even harder to avoid Josh, who shows up constantly. When he offers to ask some boys from the community center, where Josh donates his time helping others, assist Alex with moving furniture, it's an offer she can't refuse.

But when Alex suffers an accident while decorating the house, Josh rushes to her side, realizing the true value of what he left behind: his love for Alex. His constant attention leads Alex to realize that Josh has truly changed, but dare she take a second chance for happiness with him?

Linda Windsor’s books are absolutely wonderful and her newest release in The Piper Cove Chronicles series from Avon’s new Inspire line is no exception. The first in a series of four stories about best friends who find romance, Wedding Bell Blues is a witty, heartwarming and uplifting story of the power of love. It’s filled with wonderfully developed main characters and Alex’s zany, delightful friends. I heartily recommend this touching and beautiful inspirational romance.
