The Wedding Season has arrived! Not one but two of the Muir sisters, Harper and Carson are being married in two months on the same weekend in May. The setting is Sullivan Island, in South Carolina's Lowcountry. Plans are buzzing. Both grandmother's are planning their perfect weddings. How could they not be perfect? Grandmother, Marietta "Mamaw", never stops quoting from Emily Post's Book of Etiquette, while British visitor Granny James does the same from Debrett's Social Manners. The story overflows with Southern charm, customs, elegance and a touch of history. A sweet and interesting look at Dolphins and their environment was an additional delight.

Harper Muir owns Sea Breeze. which she inherited from Granny James. She loves the house with the Atlantic Ocean in her front yard and the Cove in her backyard. It is filled with memories of her childhood but her fiance, Taylor, does not feel at home there. And when he is asked to sign a pre- nuptial agreement to protect Harper, there is trouble in their paradise and decisions must be faced and made. Is their love for each other strong enough to do this?

Carson is unhappy because she can not find a job on Sullivan Island and wants to accept the job offered to her in her chosen field of film photography but it involves travel and six months away again from her betrothed, Blake. She made him a promise she would not accept any more assignments like that but she is restless and is having trouble giving up her independence. Trouble is brewing in that quarter too and both have to find a solution or part ways.

Every once in awhile a book comes along that captivates my imagination from the first page. It becomes difficult for me to put that book down until I reach the final page. A LOWCOUNTRY WEDDING warmed my heart, introducing me to a new favorite author, Mary Alice Monroe. This is the 4th in her Lowcountry series and I am in pursuit of the first three. Her writing style is lovely, her imagery so real I could almost smell the salty sea air and feel the soft breezes. I loved all the characters.

I watched as the girls faced old endings that brought them new beginnings. I rooted for them to find the right path for them before their wedding day and rejoiced in their joy when they did. This one is a keeper to be re-read again. Bravo Ms. Monroe!
