In the delightful introduction to The Wedding Planners extraordinaire, we meet Callie Phillips, florist for the successful business, Wedding Belles.
Callie loved once, a long time ago, but was left broken hearted when she chose the wrong man and let go of the one of her dreams. She was the carefree and impulsive one whereas he was steady and secure in his plans. Now Callie has settled down and surprisingly loves her job as a florist, though she hides her cynical side behind a polished smile. Until the evening her life changes once more when a typical business errand turns into something more…
Jared Townsend believes numbers and statistics to prove validity, not emotions. Now his career has him sitting in a bar, clipboard in hand, ready to quiz couples and analyze their answers to determine what works in a relationship. The last thing he expected was to see Callie walk through the door, the one woman he’s always loved and never forgotten. Now his plans have all gone awry and a new one is brewing. He’s not going to let Callie walk out of his life again and will do anything to win her over.
There couldn’t be two people more opposite than Callie and Jared, but that makes them all the more perfect for each other. Callie is the wild and crazy one, always looking for the next adventure. Jared is more about the tried and true and making that fit his dreams. He loved Callie more than anything back in the day and still regrets not fighting for her then. Now that he’s found her once more, he’s coming to realize sometimes you do have to strike out into the unknown to find happiness. Jared and Callie are perfect for each other. He helps to keep her grounded when the road starts calling again and she helps Jared learn to like change and trying new things. Too much of either is a bad thing but the right blend of both is perfection.
Sweetheart Lost and Found is a sweet story about second chances in love and finding that’s most important in unlikely places. It also sets up the rest of the continuity series perfectly, introducing readers to each of the Belles yet never sacrificing Callie and Jared’s story. All of the women are so very different yet they have forged a friendship no one can break. Shirley Jump keeps the story on alight note by interjecting moments of humor to bring a smile, or a laugh to our faces. I for one have ordered each new story as it’s become available and can’t wait to delve into the rest of the adventures for the loveable Wedding Planners.
