Crazy Little Thing Called Love: A Destination Wedding Novel Kindle Edition
Paramedic Vanessa Hollister has put her adolescence behind her, including the unwanted label of being the new kid in town over and over again, thanks to her father’s military career. She’s overcome what her mother called “the biggest mistake of her life” and is planning an elegant destination wedding in Destin, Florida with her new fiancé. But will the reappearance of her first husband from her what-were-you-thinking teenage elopement disrupt her dream of an idyllic beach wedding?
As a professional storm chaser, Logan Hollister is used to taking risks. However, a reckless decision during the last tornado season has him questioning the future of his team, the Stormmeisters. Coming face to face with his ex-wife eight years after their divorce compels him to confront his greatest regret: losing Vanessa. Does their past give him the right to interfere with her future?
A fast-moving, powerful hurricane throws Vanessa and Logan together as they evacuate to a storm shelter along with other residents of the Florida Gulf Coast. Forced to spend time together, the pair battles unexpected renewed feelings for each other.
Vanessa and Logan are faced with a choice: Should they accept, once and for all, their teenage marital mistake? Or is God offering them a second chance at happily ever after?

Crazy Little Thing Called Love is another winner! I truly love Beth Vogt’s voice, and the characters she has created here are authentically honest. Logan and Vanessa’s love story is one that will stick with me for a long time. They’re imperfect people with a past, trying to make it through on their own steam, like everyone else. But God has other plans for their future. Better plans, more than they could ever imagine. I loved every page I turned, eager to discover what would come next! A wonderful story with a heartfelt message of forgiveness and redemption. (Catherine West, award-winning author of Yesterday’s Tomorrow )

Eight years ago, Logan Hollister let the best thing that had ever happened to him drive away and never come back. When he arrives in Destin, Florida for a welcome respite from the fast paced life of a nationally recognized storm chasing team, he never imagined to come face-to-face with his beautiful ex-wife. Could he and Vanessa possibly overcome their past and rebuild a high school romance that went terribly awry? Probably not, especially since Vanessa is engaged to be married again, on the very same beach where they had fallen in love.
"Crazy Little Thing Called Love" re-captures Beth Vogt's ability to write tender, coaxing, inspirational romance, Effectively using flashbacks, she provides a back story that is as heart breaking as the characters seem to remember it was, ultimately setting the stage for a wonderful story. The wedding scene that actually does take place is not likely to be forgotten by anyone who reads about it; confirming that this is a five-star story, indeed.
It's rare when I find a novel that I finish in one day. Crazy Little Thing Called Love is the first book I've read this year that made me laugh and cry and kept me turning pages until I finished.
I personally don't enjoy too much graphic sex in a book. This book adds just enough physical contact between the main characters to be realistic and uplifting..
The best books are ones where you find yourself rooting for the characters to end up together. In great books, you become the character.
You will LOVE this book!
