Description from the publisher:
Love is patient… It’s been nearly a year since Ben Davis first laid eyes on Summer Smith, the woman who would be his saving grace. Now on the eve of their wedding, the entire town of Sweet Grove is in chaos. The wedding garden never bloomed, the flower girl has the flu, and the ring bearer won’t stop biting everyone!

Love is kind… Ben’s father is back in town for the first time in years and has brought his new wife and family with him, testing the limits of Susan’s recovery. Meanwhile, both the maid of honor and the pastor are stuck out of town and may not even make it to the ceremony in time. And if diner matriarch Mabel refuses to take her retirement seriously, she just may end up at the hospital instead of the wedding reception.

Love never fails. It’s First Street Church’s first wedding of the season, and nothing is going as planned. Can this small Texas town pull together to give Ben and Summer a wedding they’ll never forget? Don't miss another chance to visit the close-knit community of Sweet Grove—get your copy of Love's Vow today!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LOVE’S VOW is the fourth in the First Street Church series.  Each stands on their own, but with heavy involvement with the characters from the other stories. 

Unfortunately for me, I had not read the previous books in this series.  Though I enjoyed the story of Ben’s and Summer’s wedding preparations and day, I didn’t know these people well enough.  I would say it is better to have read the other books first.

What I can say is that these two obviously love each other and are surrounded by people who also love them. 

The blurb says:  “Love is patient.  Love is kind.  Love never fails.”  I would add that Love can conquer all obstacles.

I would love to read the stories leading up to this one and continue this series.  This one made me happy and still has me smiling.

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
