Love on a Whim

I first became acquainted with Suzanne Woods Fisher through her Amish fiction, but I have come to love her contemporary fiction possibly even more than her Amish books. The Cape Cod Creamery series is fun to read and takes the reader on a whirlwind of emotions. 

Brynn, a civil engineer, was at a conference in Las Vegas when she meets TD, who is attending the same conference.  He talks her into skipping the rest of the day's meetings and really seeing some of the sights within driving distance.  They spent the day talking and getting to know each other, and then on a whim, get married before going back to the hotel.  The next morning, Brynn panics and leaves TD asleep while she flies back home.  She calls her friend, Dawn, who convinces her to come to Cape Cod to figure things out.  Dawn is a fixer and she loves nothing more than fixing people's lives, but she can't jump in and fix Brynn because a wedding is due to happen in a week and she needs to get the ice cream prepared. At the last minute, the baker opts out making the wedding cake, the bride's mother wants individual mini cakes for each guest at the wedding. Brynn volunteers to bake the cakes, but every time she turns around, the bride's mother wants to change something else.  

In Love on a Whim, Suzanne hits on hurts of various kinds, healing, forgiveness, generosity, and people who aren't afraid to take advantage of others just for the sake of it.  Even though it is a rather light read, it has its depth that brings the readers into contemplation of their own lives.
