Review: Camp Wedding:The Heartsight Nuptials by Kay Springsteen
Print Length: 120 pages
Publisher: Eskape Press (Originally Published March 27, 2012)
From Goodreads.com: A blind Marine, a nervous bride, and an adorable child with Down syndrome who loves them both is an equation for another tug on the heartstrings in the story behind the Heartsight nuptials. Is Trish ready for life as a military wife? Is Dan ready for the challenges of being a father to a precocious 6-year-old? How will Bella add her special brand of magic to the day? Formerly published in the Matrimonial Mayhem anthology by Astraea Press.

My Rating: 4 stars out of 5
This was a heart-warming return to Lookout Island, as we were cordially invited to the wedding of Daniel and Trish (the couple we were first introduced to in Heartsight). Typically I find with novella novels that there isn't enough time to get to know the characters before the story ends, however because this is more or less a continuation of a previous story there was none of that "rushed" feeling. In fact, I felt the entire story moved just fast enough that it kept the reader's interest without feeling like anything was being dragged out. I also adored meeting Dan's family for the first time - the author did a great job of capturing the moment they are reunited.
The wedding itself wasn't without its troubles, but I feel like the author played them out in a way that was fitting for this couple. And the alterations done to certain articles of clothing was a charming addition to the story as well.
