Is sixty years too long to wait for love? Two stories of romance, one in 1949 and one in the modern day, meet in Rachel Hauck's The Wedding Chapel. When Taylor Branson takes an assignment in Heart’s Bend, the job does more than send her back to her hometown, but into a world of family secrets buried beneath the sands of time. When Taylor’s journey intersects with Jimmy “Coach” Westbrook's, they rediscover the heartbeat of their dreams and that the love they long to hold is right in front of them. And worth every waiting moment.

For sixty years, the wedding chapel has stood silent and
empty. Retired football hall-of-famer Jimmy “Coach” Westbrook built the chapel
by hand, stone by stone, for his beautiful and beloved Collette Greer, whom he
lost so many years ago. The chapel is a sanctuary for his memories, a monument
to true love, and a testament to his survival of the deepest pain and loss.
Photographer Taylor Branson left her hometown of Heart’s
Bend, Tennessee to make a new life for herself in New York. Taylor had lots to
run away from, not least of all a family history of broken promises and broken
dreams. Love catches Taylor off guard when she falls for Jack Forester, a
successful advertising executive, and their whirlwind romance leads to an
elopement – and then to second guesses. Jack, in spite of his very real love
for Taylor, is battling his own demons and struggles to show her his true self
and the depths of his love for her.
When Taylor takes a photography assignment in Heart’s Bend,
she is thrown back into her own past and encounters family secrets buried deep
beneath the sands of time. And when Taylor and Coach’s journeys collide, they
each rediscover the heartbeat of their own dreams as they learn that the love
they long to hold is well worth waiting for.
The
Wedding Chapel is now
hands-down my favorite book I have read by Rachel Hauck. With dual timelines as
well as relationships, this latest novel from Hauck tells a beautiful story of
love, forgiveness, healing, and restoration surrounding a country wedding
chapel. Taylor and Jack got caught up in a whirlwind of romance, but now their
marriage seems to be falling apart. Jimmy and Colette were high-school
sweethearts in 1949, yet circumstances kept them apart for sixty years. As the
two couples navigate the challenges of their New York City and Heart’s Bend,
Tennessee lives, they discover what second chances could look like. An
heartwarming novel with a good blend of the contemporary and the historical, The
Wedding Chapel will surely please fans of Rachel Hauck, as well as readers
of both contemporary and historical romance. I would highly recommend it.
