Wedding at Sea

by Melissa Tagg

Book Overview

Two enemies. One wedding. And a seaside mystery decades in the making.

Lilian doesn't remember anything about her life before the day Maggie Muir found her on her front porch-a toddler, abandoned and alone. And maybe that's okay. She has a beautiful life at Muir Farm, including an adopted family she adores and a successful career as a lawyer. But she also has a secret . . . one that raises just as many questions about her future as it...

Customer Reviews

enjoyable contemporary fiction with mystery

"Hope was stronger when it was chosen and chased and held close despite the odds." It's been a while since I've picked up a Melissa Tagg book and I'm glad to have read this one. Though it's third book in the series, it can still be read as a stand-alone. There are plenty of details and in-depth references sprinkled in to make sure you aren't lost or confused when the characters are talking about past events (FYI, I haven't read the first two books in the series yet). I loved the setting of Muir Harbor in Maine and really enjoyed getting to know the entire Muir family and the overarching theme of Maggie Muir's desire to find her granddaughter. Lily is spunky and driven, though oftentimes too impulsive, arrogant, and prickly. Wilder is fun, charming, and quite delightful though he loves to antagonize Lily and is haunted by grief, loss, and self-doubt. As Wilder and Lily dig further and deeper into Maggie's deceased daughter's past, the carefully latched top to the big box of secrets blows wide open to provide plenty of twists and turns in the mystery portion of the story. There is a solid faith thread to provide grounding and foundation for the characters as the mystery unravels. Older brother's best friend and enemies to lovers romance tropes provided lots of romantic tension between Lily and Wilder. If you enjoy contemporary romance that tugs at the heart and has some mystery/sleuthing involved, you will love this book. I received a complimentary copy courtesy of publisher via NetGalley and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.

A Series Conclusion that Won't Disappoint

Once again, Tagg has written a delightful book featuring the Muir family. I’ve waited for the conclusion and wasn’t disappointed. Wedding at Sea is the perfect enemies to more romance story. I’ve wanted to know Lillian’s and Wilder’s story, especially why she so disliked the man. That question is answered and brings home a great point of how we can blow something way out of proportion. Lillian, in the previous books, often seemed so harsh, but as Tagg unravels her story, your sympathy for her will grow and grow. Wilder has always been likeable and just becomes even more so. Their romance has just the right amount of sizzle. Maggie’s story also gets wrapped up with a surprise, but happy ending. Finally, the faith element is well done and not at all preachy. I truly hate to say goodbye to the Muir family, who proved time and time again, people don’t have to be blood-related to make the perfect family.
