Wedding Bands is about second chance romance between Joanne "Jo" Kendall, and the object of her first affection, Callum Archer.
Joanne "Jo" is back in town because her uncle Ray left her and her sister Samantha "Sam" his rural estate back in town, a town Jo left behind for years, but she's also back because her ex-husband and business partner stole her money and bankrupted her business (and broke her heart). However, the estate was in bad shape despite Jo's plan to turn it into a B&B, and Sam wanted her share in cash... now. And her lawyer was Callum, the boy Jo left behind. Jo has no cash, and no bank would give her a loan. Her chance at her dreams was to charm Callum... If there is anything there left... but is there?
Both Callum and Jo were wounded, not just by each other, but also family and circumstances. Callum chose to go to college and not elope with Jo due to family obligations and be a lawyer, but nothing he did seem to be ever good enough for his father. Jo was almost forever at odds with her sister, who's fashionable, indoors, and pretty, pretty much her opposite. There were a few bits near the end where Sam assumed a bigger role to set up for the next volume in this series, but it's a very distinct personality. And Callum and Jo both changed in their respective character arcs.
As much family drama as it is about second chance romance and compromises, it's quite a bit of fun to read.
