Old and New: The Enchanted Wedding Dress (The MacLellan Sisters Trilogy Book 1) by Lucinda Race, was really a great love story. There are so many things about this story that makes it a great love story. I think what I like the most about it, is the strength of the family, how the family bonds are threaded throughout the entire book. Not only with the sisters in this little tale but also the brothers. Because you know if you have a love story involving sisters then you also have to have brothers. This is a story about three sisters, Jamie, Kenzie, and Grace and their friends Steve and Caleb. It’s a love story that you will feel good reading and you will feel even better at the end. Do be aware there is one little mature situation but it in no way distracts from the story. When you need a feel good read this one will do the trick.

Jamie, Kenzie and Grace are all career drive ladies. A relative passed away and they are given an family heirloom along with a prophecy will these things actually come true. Or is it all a old fairytale. This is a very heart warming story about sisterhood and bonds. This is a heart-warming story to read.

Lucinda Race
4 out of 5 stars

Old and New is the first book in the MacLellan Sisters Trilogy. This was the first book I have read by Lucinda Race but as I have found often with new to me authors lately, it will not be my last. I am the middle child, between two sisters so the sisterhood aspect of this novel, or trilogy is what drew me in initially. Old and New was an engaging read with imagery that transports you to the same time and place as the characters. I was interested in the story and the characters from the first page to the last and I am excited to know there are more books to come. If you are in the mood for a charming read, I really do recommend this one.

I am so going to love this trilogy from Lucinda Race! Old and New: The Enchanted Wedding Dress, is the first in the trilogy and sets things up rather beautifully for a wild and magical ride until the end. I adored this book and the premise, along with the sisters, and fell in love with them pretty quickly. The banter in this novel makes you feel as if you are right there, as it flows beautifully. I can’t wait to see how the next few books unfold as well.

In this one we meet all three sisters, Grace, Kenzie, and Jamie, with Jamie being the eldest and the first sister that we get to know really well in this book. The girls lost their Gran and an extremely valuable package with an enchanted wedding dress and more from her after her death. Each of the girls doubt that the dress will do anything for them and rather enjoy the single life. So what happens when Jamie takes the plunge and slips on the dress? For the magic and more details you will have to read this gem for yourself. I cannot wait until I get my hands on the next book in this series!

Wow, this book was an amazing read that kept me guessing throughout. At first, I was a little frustrated by the largely one POV but then I realised that helped add to the mystery. The characters were supremely well developed – at times they frustrated me and at times I was cheering them on – just like you would anyone in your life I’m sure. This was the first of Lucinda Race’s books that I have read, but it won’t be the last – beginning with the other two books in this trilogy!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Old and New: The Enchanted Wedding Dress (The MacLellan Sisters Trilogy Book 1) by Lucinda Race is a wonderful romance story. It is nice to read something that is original and different from the norm. The story flows nicely although at times it seemed a little rushed but you are soon swept away on the journey from Vermont to Scotland and I love Scotland so it was easy to see the author’s vision. I loved the family dynamics and camaraderie, their support and friendship and family bonds to each other.

The story focuses around the MacLellan sisters and a wedding dress with a legend.

I am looking forward to see what Lucinda gives us next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all”, except this time, the magic is not in the mirror, but is on the onlooker of the mirror, who is to don a specific attire. The seeker is supposed to try on a “wedding dress” and look into the mirror to foresee her prince charming.
The series is a trilogy about three sisters, which makes me think that each book belongs to one sister. The plot of the first book revolves around the oldest sister Jamie. Jamie along with the two sisters Grace and Kenzie visits her grandparent’s homestead in Scotland, after their grandmother passes away. Their father inherits the farm.
Their grandmother leaves them a wedding dress, their family heirloom as an inheritance to the sisters along with a letter and a brooch. The sisters first laugh it off, but out of curiosity, the oldest, Jamie tries the wedding dress just to know if the mirror will show her current date as her prince charming.
But the fate, the wedding dress and the mirror have a surprise planned for her when she is caught unaware between two twins, one who fits her requirements perfectly and the other who stirs her heart. Whom will Jamie choose?
A very sweet romance story, perfect to be made as a rom-com movie. Loved it. And a story which also explores the relationship between the three sisters.

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.

Author: Lucinda Race
FIVE STARS
A story of finding love when you aren’t even looking for it. After a wedding dress is passed down to her, can Jamie resist the temptation of trying it on?
This story follows Jamie and her two sisters through a remarkable time in their lives. Single and very independent and career driven, Jamie has decided she will not marry and will not lose her independence. But does life hold something different for her?
This book is really good. I totally enjoyed this first book in the series and I cannot wait to see what Ms. Race has in story for us in the second book of this trilogy.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Old and New: The Enchanted Wedding Dress by Lucinda Race is the first book in the MacLellan Sisters trilogy. This is a fun story with some great characters, especially the 3 sisters. I loved the idea of this book. An enchanted wedding dress that reveals the future of the wearer – who wouldn’t want to try it on!!
The author has done well with the story and created a fun and entertaining book. It is quite a fast paced book, which maybe wasn’t always needed, but the author has still managed to create a story that will keep you turning the pages. For me my favourite part of this book is the characters. As an only child I would have loved to have sisters like this to grow up with. They came across as so close and so caring it was lovely to read about.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Old and New: The Enchanted Wedding Dress is the first book in the MacLellan Sisters Trilogy by Lucinda Race. Lucinda Race is an author that I have read before so was really looking forward to reading more of her work.
This is a great romance book but it is quite different from a lot of romance books that I have read before. Much of the book is centred around the three MacLellan sisters Jamie, Kenzie and Grace and a lot of time is devoted to scenes where the three of them are together finding out about their recently departed Grandmother and the enchanted wedding dress that they have been sent following her death. The three sisters are very different and I loved getting to know all three of them. I loved how close they are to each other and the support that they give to each other.
In this book we are concentrated on the oldest sister Jamie and her budding relationship with lawyer Steve. Jamie is waiting on the sparks flying and the butterflies giving her the signs that he is ‘the one’ only they don’t appear except when his brother Caleb makes an appearance.
I loved reading about the three sisters and the Sullivan brothers. There is such great camaraderie when they are all together and I could read about them for hours. I really can’t wait for the next book to see what Lucinda Race has in store next for the MacLellan sisters.

This was such a wonderful read, I enjoyed everything about it. The authors writing flowed so well it was a real pleasure to read and I just loved the characters, the relationship they had, the interaction between the and there were certainly times where I could absolutely relate to the things that were going on. This is book 1 in the series and whilst all three sisters are in it this is Jamie’s story and her course to her happily ever after and wedding day. I loved the originality of the story and I am definitely looking forward to the other sisters finding the partner of their dreams through the wedding dress of their late grandmother!
I definitely recommend this story and can’t wait to read the next book!

Old and New: The Enchanted Wedding Dress Book One is the first book in The Maclellan Sisters Trilogy by Lucinda Race. This is an original, heart-warming story- with romance, sisterhood, family bonds, family heirlooms, and a little bit of enchantment. I really enjoyed this story and am looking forward to reading the other two books in this sweet trilogy.
Here we meet the MacLellan sister- Jamie, Kenzie, and Grace who receive a package after the death of their beloved Gran. Inside the box is her antique wedding dress, the family plaid, a brooch, and a letter. They discover a family legend surrounding the dress- that whoever wears it will be able to see their future. It is their Gran’s wish that they try the dress on. But being fiercely independent and staunchly single- will they respect their grandmother’s desire- or will they shrug it off as silly nonsense?
This is Jamie’s story- she is the oldest sister and is the most sceptical of the three, but intrigue wins out in the end- and so the story takes off.
There was definitely a ‘Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants’ vibe to this story, but with its own unique identity.
The story has quite a fast pace, and did seem a little rushed at times. But overall, it was a lovely story. Looking forward to seeing what happens in Book Two.

Thank you, Lucinda Race!

Oh this did my romantic sentimental heart so much good. In the midst of so much turmoil in the world at this moment I loved escaping into these pages and reading about these sisters and the treasure from their grandmother. I loved the way Race built each character and relationship. And I adored the way this story unfolded. Book one in a trilogy that I cannot wait to finish – just a beautiful read.

Old and New: The Enchanted Wedding Dress (The MacLellan Sisters Trilogy #1) by Lucinda Race

This was the first book I’ve read by the author, but it won’t be my last. Old and New is the first book in The MacLellan Sisters Trilogy. To say that I can’t wait for book 2 is an understatement.

Jamie, oldest MacLellan sister, gets the pleasure of keeping her grandmother’s things. That includes a wedding dress that’s supposed to be enchanted. Jamie tries it on and she meets a guy. What happens when she falls for his twin? The quote I choose for Jamie is: “It rolls off the tongue and I’ve never hung out with one before. You’ve got skills I only dream of having.”

Caleb, twin brother to Steve Sullivan, meets Jamie when she meets with Steve. When Steve lets him know Jamie invited him for dinner with them He doesn’t realize he’s intruding on a date. He then finds himself drawn to Jamie. The quote I choose for Caleb is: “Jamie, I’ve wanted you from the moment I laid eyes on you. When you struggled with the door knob at Steve’s all this, is all I’ve wanted. To be with you.”

Romance readers, fairytale believers this book is for you! I highly recommend it and I’m not sorry. Lucinda Race has amazed me.

I enjoyed this fairytale romance story. This is not my first story by this author but it is my favorite of hers yet. This is a story about a wedding dress that was sent to Jamie from her great-grandmother. There are a couple of problems with this. First Jamie has no intention of getting married and second the dress is supposed to be enchanted. She tries the dress on, will she change her mind? After meeting Caleb will he change her mind? The characters made the story easy to read and entertaining. They brought the story to life and left me turning pages fast. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what fate has instore for Jamie and this supposed enchanted wedding dress.
