Old and New: The Enchanted Wedding Dress Book 1 (The MacLellan Sisters Trilogy)Old and New: The Enchanted Wedding Dress Book 1 by Lucinda Race
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this romantic novel with a magical twist, it’s book one in a trilogy by Lucinda Race which centres around the MacLellan sisters. Jamie, Kenzie and Grace are sisters who are all independent, feisty and single. This novel concentrates on Jamie who at the beginning of the story vows that she will never get married. However all that changes when an enchanted wedding dress from her great-grandmother arrives. The wedding dress is a family heirloom which is also supposedly enchanted. Family legend says that any descendant of their great-grandmother who tries the dress on will see her future revealed in the mirror. Unable to resist her curiosity Jamie try’s the beautiful dress on, and to her astonishment she sees a shadow of a man in the mirror. Jamie does not believe that Steve, the lawyer she has been dating is that man and when his twin brother Caleb arrives she instantly knows that it’s Caleb who is the man she’s fated to be with. As well as having to overcome the fact that she is already dating his brother, Jamie also has to decide what she wants her future to be, as Caleb lives a vagabond life.
As well as the romance between Jamie and Caleb the storyline also focuses on the relationships between the very different but very loyal sisters. I loved all three of the sisters characters and enjoyed getting to know Jamie in this novel and look forward to finding out more about Kenzie and Grace over the next two books in this series. I found this to be a wonderfully written story with lovely characters that I really cared for and I felt immersed in their world whilst reading this story. It’s an easy read as the storyline flows along nicely and the plot has enough going on in it that it kept me happily turning the pages. Lucinda Race is a new author to me and I am pleased to have discovered her and I look forward to reading future books by her. ‘Old and New’, is a lovely whimsical family drama and romance which is a perfect book to escape into and one which I definitely recommend.
