Resumen del Editor

In the powerful and heartwarming conclusion to her best-selling Lowcountry Summer trilogy, New York Times best-selling author Mary Alice Monroe brings her listeners back to the charm and sultry beauty of Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, to reveal how the pull of family bonds and true love is as strong and steady as the tides.

It is summer's end, and Sea Breeze, the family's beloved estate on Sullivan's Island, must be sold. It is an emotional time of transition as Mamaw and the three sisters each must face loss and find a new place in the world.

Harper, the youngest sister, arrives at Sea Breeze intending to stay only a weekend. But a rift with her wealthy, influential mother leaves her without direction or a home. During this remarkable summer, free from her mother's tyranny and with the help of her half sisters, Harper discovers her talents and independent spirit. But summer is ending, and the fate of Sea Breeze hinges on her courage to decide the course of her own life. To do so she must release her insecurities and recognize her newfound strengths. Harper must accept love fully into her life - the love of Mamaw, Carson, and Dora, the love of Sea Breeze and the lowcountry, and most of all the love of a wounded warrior who has claimed her heart.

Sensational!

Series was one of my all time favorites. Loved it and have recommended it to friends at the beach in NC.♥

wonderful series !

I enjoy each book more than the last. If you want a break from the stresses of life let this story introduce you to some interesting people and take you to a beautiful place for an afternoon.

Lovely story

This was the end of a lovely trilogy. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and I liked that each book focused on a different sister.

The only critique that I have is regarding the performance. The use of the heavy southern accent wasn’t always aligned with the character. There were times when non-southern characters, like Harper, spoke with a heavy southern accent even though she grew up in Manhattan. Also there were times when a southern character lost the accent. The variation made it challenging at times to understand who was speaking in a particular dialog.

story engaging, narration lacking

others have mentioned this, and I agree the author does herself no favor by reading this herself. the story is so good, I was able to deal with it, but the accents go in/out and the supposed British accent gets muddled with the southern way too much. a pro or cast would have given the story what it deserves. there are also several places where characters are called the wrong name in the scene or the pronunciation of names are not consistent. overall, based on the story, I'd recommend reading the book over listening.

Good summer listening

I enjoyed this whole series and I’m pretty picky. Easy to listen to and like hanging out with friends.
