Still, she's trying desperately to impress Bella Neeley, Galveston Island's most sought-after wedding planner, so she can take the top spot in Bella's list of recommended photographers--a spot currently occupied by her arch-rival, Drew Kincaid.

Joy In Our Journey's review ~ by Julieanne's friend, Jan:

    Picture Perfect by Janice Thompson is a quirky, interesting book about a wedding photographer who lives in, of all places, Galveston Island.  Hannah has two problem people in her life.  The first is David Kincaid, who is her competition.  David has two strikes against him.  He is a very attractive male, and he is a Kincaid. 

    Why is this a problem? 

    Well, it seems as if there is a hundred-year feud between the McDermott and Kincaid clans, and Hannah is a McDermott.  Also, David is a very good and very good looking  successful photographer. 

    Hannah also has a long time thorn in her flesh, named Jacquie Goldfarb, who has just moved back to town.  Jacquie has moved back to town, and seems to want Hannah's friendship!  What's that all about?  How is Hannah going to keep her business going and deal with these troublesome people without losing her business or her mind?

    The book was fun to read, but rather light on plot.  Also, a little too much was made of the "TV and movie stars" that just happened to be very friendly and need the services of the wedding photographer on the island.

    I enjoyed the Irish sayings at the beginning of each chapter and the information about Galveston Island.  Picture Perfect by Janice Thompson is great for a quick light read on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

    Picture Perfect is available as of February 2013 at your favorite bookseller - from Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.

     I received one copy of Picture Perfect from Revell Publishers in exchange for my honest review of this book.  No other compensation was provided.
