From the Back Cover
Bella couldn't be happier that two of her long-feuding relatives have finally admitted their love for one another and are getting married. Their forties-style wedding is sure to be a night to remember. But when the Rossi house begins to fill up with family from Italy--and an old mobster from New Jersey--life starts to get complicated. Will a friend from the past drive the happy couple apart once more? And will Bella ever have time to think of her own rapidly approaching wedding amid the chaos?
Full of humor, plenty of Italian passion, and a bit of Texas gumption, It Had to Be You will have you laughing out loud and wiping a tear from your eye.
Praise for the Weddings by Bella series:
"A fun, welcome distraction from life's boredom and stress."--Trish Perry, author, Beach Dreams and The Guy I'm Not Dating
"I fell in love with the Rossi clan, a delightful collection of quirky characters who feel as passionately about their pizza as Texans do about chili."--Virginia Smith, author, Third Time's a Charm
"Thompson is a master storyteller. I felt as if I were Bella's best friend, sitting down with her over cups of Italian cappuccino while she told me the latest happenings in her zany family."--Ane Mulligan, editor, Novel Journey
"Sweet romance that sizzles and simmers on every page."--Allison Pittman, author, Stealing Home
Janice Thompson is a seasoned romance author and native Texan. An experienced wedding coordinator herself, Thompson brings alive in her books the everyday drama and humor of getting married. She is the author of Fools Rush In and Swinging on a Star.

Bella is also trying to plan her perfect wedding to DJ her true love.
I did find her sister extremely annoying and childish in this book. Never thinking of her sister as a person it is all about her.
Very romantic ending to this christian romance and lots of laughs from this crazy family and friends. Love it. Will continue to look for more Janice Thompson books to read.
If you have followed this series, you know the Italian family living in Texas, never has a boring day! From the parrot singing "99 Bottles of Beer or Amazing Grace" to the planning of theme weddings, this is another Bella adventure! When Laz & Rosa decide to finally get married, the relatives show up from Italy adds to the chaos! The lessons learned about faith, family, and friendships are learned by everyone, especially Bella when the week of her own wedding, she had some serious health problems. She learned to delegate and trust them to make her dreams come true!!!
I love how the author paints such a picture of the family and their chaos and how they go to God for EVERYTHING. It's very telling about their walk.
And I soooo cannot get enough of DJ. OMG. He is simply amazing!!! *swoon*
All in all this is a fun series to read and to be honest, it's a good series to read when you're feeling down and need a little pick me up from God Himself. :)
Great clean, uplifting, and encouraging reading. I am proud to recommend this series, "Weddings by Bella", to my daughters-in-law, my mother, cousins, aunts, friends of all ages, and not ashamed of its contents, or embarrassed by the storyline.
Enjoy. Also, to Janice Thompson, you GO girl!!!!!

This book is filled with fun, humour and lots of love. It also has a depth to it as Bella, among others, learns a few life lessons. And will Bella and DJ finally get their own happily ever after? You'll just have to read the book to find out!
Thank you Janice for a wonderful series and such lovable characters. If one day I should ever make it to Texas I'd certainly want to look them up. ;)
