Review: A Lowcountry Bride

A Lowcountry Bride by Preslaysa Williams
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was:

Sweet.

Clean.

Informative -I learned a lot about sickle cell disease, among other things.

Had a happily ever after.

Religious.

Some character growth.


These were the pros.


The cons:

Overly sweet, almost to the point of saccharine.

Repetitive -A lot of the book felt like filler.

The angst had me clenching my teeth.

SYNOPSIS: "Maya Jackson has worked for Laura Whitcomb, Inc, a renowned New York City bridal gown brand, for years and dreams of becoming Head Designer. She has the talent; she just needs a chance to showcase her unique style. Due to an illness, she’s always prioritized her career over her personal life until her father fractures his hip and Maya returns to Charleston, South Carolina. While home for only a few months, she’s thrilled to find an opportunity at the local bridal gown boutique, never expecting sparks to fly with its owner...

A military veteran and widowed father, Derek Sullivan hopes to save Always a Bride from bankruptcy in order to preserve the legacy of his mother. He also wants to reconnect with his estranged, twelve-year-old daughter, who is still recovering from the loss of her mother. The last thing he needs is a relationship with a beautiful, smart, complicated woman who will be leaving soon.

When Derek begins to fall for the lovely Maya, he knows there’s no future. But destiny has its own plans, and these two lonely people with big hearts discover that coming home to love is the best gift life can give."
