I really enjoyed this book. It is the 4th one in the series and I am planning on reading the first three as well since I enjoyed it so much. I lived in the low country for 6 years and miss it a lot. This book took me back there, you can tell the author loves the region and is very familiar with it.

I won this book in a Goodreads Giveaway, I totally lucked out cause I had already preordered this book when I found out I won it :)
So, clearly I enjoy this series. This is the fourth book in the Summer Sisters series. I'd recommend reading all four. This book would work on its own, but then you'd miss out on knowing the characters as well as you could.
In this book, sisters Carson and Harper are both planning weddings for the same weekend in May. Their sister Dora is also in love, but afraid to commit again.
There is a new character introduced in this story. I loved his secret and I also thought he was a lovable character who added to the story.
Everyone is going through their personal dramas leading up to the weddings.
I'd have enjoyed some more time devoted to Dora, this time she faded into the background a bit. I know there's a lot of main characters here, so I guess despite the book being 400 pages I just wanted even more :)
Maybe we could get another story? I'm not ready to give up the Muir family.
I think the perfect way to read this book would be with the theme food and drinks listed at the end of the book :)

A great summer read and ending to this series! I loved this book from one of my favorite authors. I cried and laughed and felt like I knew these women after four books. Beautiful story twist. Well done!

OMG!!! Just finished book #4 of The Lowcountry Summer Series. If you're looking for a good book to read with ALL the feels, I HIGHLY recommend this series! I've laughed, cried, wanted to throw the book, and have been left longing for more. Mary Alice Monroe is DEFINITELY becoming one of my favorite authors!

I received a digital copy of A Lowcountry Wedding from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Once again, Mary Alice Monroe weaves her magic in the continued story of the "summer sisters". As a fan of this series, I was thrilled to find out what was happening with the girls. Weddings, surprises, & more. The story pulled me in from the beginning, as do all of her books.
Tears at the end, hoping this is not the end of the summer girls & their story. If I were a new reader, I would definitely start with the first book to really get to know the characters.

A Lowcountry Wedding by Mary Alice Monroe is a 2016 Gallery Books Publication. I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher as an XOXpert, the official street team of XOXO After Dark. (Digital copy provided by Edelweiss)
I have been eagerly anticipating this return to Sea Breeze, and reconnecting with the Muir’s.
Finally, Harper and Carson are getting married!! Or are they?? If Carson can make something complicated you bet your bottom dollar, she will, and she tries Blake’s patience, and mine, as it seems she still has some things to work through before she can totally commit to marriage. Sounds like classic Carson, right?
Harper allows Granny James to interfere which causes trouble with Taylor, and Dora continues to put Devlin off about their future.
Meanwhile, MawMaw has been bitten by the romance bug herself, and Granny James feels like she has no place to land, since MawMaw moved out to the cottage, a place she always thought would be hers, eventually.
With the ladies making wedding plans, and struggling with doubts, and upheavals, a surprise visit from a minister, which could set off a scandal of epic proportions, instead becomes a soothing balm for the girls by becoming a voice of reason by offering sane opinions and advice.
Emily Post was the supreme authority on etiquette and MawMaw still holds onto those protocols, and old fashioned southern traditions that she attempts to pass along to her granddaughters as they prepare to enter that all important institution of marriage. The most interesting advice given to brides to be, adds a charming factor to the story as old values blend with new ones. Sometimes they clash, but in the end, the ladies once more learn to give and take, to work together, to do what families do, and the results are amazing.
This last book in the series packs the same emotional punch as in the previous installments, but there were some genuine moments of mirth, a few ironical situations, and as all the pieces began to fit together, once and for all, I felt like popping the cork on a bottle of champagne and celebrating with the Muir’s.
As the finale arrives, a real sense of peace settled over me, but not without a few bittersweet and poignant moments, as remembrances, memories, and some permanent, but necessary goodbyes must take place.
This series has turned out to be one of my favorites of all time. I have enjoyed this journey with Carson, Harper, and Dora. I’ve shared their fears, doubts, frustrations, and struggles. I’ve watched them all fall in love, grow up, spread their wings, and land back where they all belonged from the start. I’ve been angry, frustrated, laughed and cried with all these intimately drawn characters, each with foibles, but all of them filled with inner strength and love.
But, the most rewarding part is finally seeing the sisterly bond which had all but disappeared, build over time until these fine women, with the help of one very special lady, found their way back to one another, learned to lean on each other, and support each other, and will no doubt share that bond with future generations.
I do recommend reading these books in order, because there is simply too much very important backstory you simply have to know in order to experience the full pleasure of this series. That being said, I can’t recommend this series highly enough!!

I'm sorry I wasted my time with this one. The narrator of the audio version does a fine job, but I found the book too preachy. And these rich southern ladies with excess money...... Three half-sisters that find out they have an (illegitimate) half-brother (whose mother was BLACK). I did want to find out what happened with Atticus, the brother, but that was a minor part of the story, mentioned at the end. Think I'll avoid this author again.
