While I’ve enjoyed the others in this series, this one didn’t have the engaging characters I’ve come to love in Ramsay’s titles. I did enjoy the return to Magnolia and it is always nice to see Reverend Micah again.

Highly entertaining, lighthearted, sweetly sexy, fun and action-packed journey filled with witty and engaging charters, heart racing twists and heartwarming moments. Really enjoyed this emotional adventure from beginning to end.

This was a charming small town sweet romance that you would enjoy if you like:
- closed door
- forbidden (soon to be step siblings
- multi-generational
I really enjoyed the relationships between Ella, her mom and grandmother. I also enjoyed the sweetest the inn keeper and son brought to the story. I really didn't care for how both Jim and Brenda on how they treated the kids. It annoyed me that the kids were suppose to plan the party and Brenda was upset with their decisions.

I always read Hope Ramsay whenever I get a copy of any of her books and review them when they come out on the other platforms. I sometimes forget to review them on here. This was a wonderful book by her as always.

I received this advanced reading copy from NetGalley and Forever Books in exchange for my honest review.

Even though Ella and Dylan didn't see eye to eye with keeping their parents together and dealing with other circumstances theirr love finally comes true towards the end of the story.

Brenda and Jim’s chemistry keeps their love alive even though they have to deal with their children’s bickering and dealing with other circumstances that takes place in their lives.

Highly recommend to all romance lovers. Kudos to Hope Ramsay for this great fourth installment of the Magnolia Harbor series.

Love this series and author. If you haven't read this book yet I highly recommend doing so. I suggest reading the books in order

Great small town romance book! I found this read very enjoyable. The characters were well-developed and jumped off the pages while reading. I would highly recommend this author and series!

A Wedding on Lilac Lane was a great book. Hope Ramsey never disappoints me. I loved everything about this book and the series as well! The characters and the love that binds everyone, be it friendship or family, made for a wonderful ending for Ella and Dylan!

Ella is a musician and back to her home town to finally have a fresh start when she finds out that her mother is getting married. Now she and her future step brother Dr. Dylan must plan the wedding stuff but since he objects he's willing to do what he can to sabotage things.

This was such a great contemporary romance I really enjoyed it. I mean there was plenty of trouble to be had throughout this book. Since its a romance clearly something is going to become of Ella and Dylan but um hello their parents are getting married! Small towns gossip. Ella is back in town to have a fresh start with her mother after having a rocky disappointing one. Plus Ella's ex might want her back? There is so much to unfold with this book and you'll just have to check it out for yourself to see just how good this book is because I really enjoyed it and think this would make a great poolside read.

A Wedding on Lilac Lane is the first of the Moonlight Bay series that I have read. It didn't seem to matter that I hadn't read the others. This is the story of 2 couples- Brenda and Jim and their children Dylan and Ella. Each relationship has its trials, including the mother/daughter and father/son relationships. This is a family drama with a happy ending. It is a good light summer read that takes you down to the South Carolina coast. Overall, I'd say this is a story of love, family, and being true to one's self. I'd like to read the other books and any future books in this series.

An entertaining and well written romance. Good plot and character dynamics. Romance readers will enjoy this book. I highly recommend it.

In Hope Ramsay's A Wedding on Lilac Lane, the 4th installment in the Moonlight Bay contemporary romance series, this newest edition is endearing and tugs your heart with so much emotion. For Ella McMillan, she needed a clear break from a bad relationship and from touring with the band. She has dreams to play the fiddle in Nashville. But when she learns about her mother getting remarried, she heads to Magnolia Harbor, South Carolina and helps plans her engagement party. But there's a snag: Dr. Dylan Killough, her future stepfather-to-be's son. He wants to break them up and not help with the party. As they worked together to plan the perfect party, they get to know each other better and have fun while at it. Dylan didn't want his father Jim to tie the knot again, not since his father's latest remarriage didn't turn up so well. While his father plans to slow down and settle down with Ella's mother Brenda, he ended up handling his father's case load of senior patients and taking care of the practice. With one night of unexpected passion between them, it change things for them as they unexpected have feelings for each other. And he's worried that Ella might leave town to pursue her own musical dreams. But when a health crisis happens to Ella's mother, they split up since they couldn't do this to her mother's happiness. But with a chance of fate, Dylan professes his feelings for Ella, she had gotten her own happy ending.

What a funny read. This book screams “I’m a Hallmark movie. When do we start filming?”. It's a story that has been told before (Stephanie Bond Stop the Wedding first comes to mind) and yet it is a funny read with lots of push, pull, fighting the feelings and finally the inevitable happily ever after. and its own individuality. I laughed at times and was frustrated others. I mean they are are two adults and they’re both acting like petulant spoiled rotten immature children rather than otherwise functional adults. They both live with their parents. Really????? And yet, its really funny and sweet. Enjoy the read. I’ve read others in the series, but this works perfectly as a stand alone. Already looking forward to the next one.

I enjoyed this book. The setting seemed lovely. It was a quick read for me. I look forward to reading more by Hope Ramsay in the future.

A Wedding On Lilac Lane by Hope Ramsay

After leaving her old life behind and starting over for good, a former country star finds herself at odds with a handsome new man. Is he the enemy or her only ally?

This was a good story about family, relationships, and how our actions interact with our families. I hope to meet these wonderful characters in another book. I enjoyed this book.

Thank you Net Galley for sending me an advanced reader’s copy for my review.

I love seeing different age groups that fall in love and get married rather than the chosen 20s-30s.

In this book, the couple is in their 50s and have fallen in love to get married. They get along perfectly, but their kids, Ella and Dylan, not so much. It's your classic grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract situation from the very start. Dylan needs that special someone to melt that hard exterior and feel love again, and Ella is the person for that job.

Overall this is a very cute book, lots of banter and a wedding at the end! What's more romantic than that?

Thank you to NetGalley and Forever for the earc in return for an honest review.

I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this book. It had second chances and just about everything to make it perfect. It's like live will find a way even if we fight against it. There seems to be another story for Ashley I hope. This is such a feel good story that you will totally enjoy.

A Wedding on Lilac Lane is the fourth title in the Moonlight Bay series. While this one “could” be read as a standalone title, I believe reading the series in order would give you a better feel for the town and the secondary characters that you’ll meet along the way. Not totally necessary as some folks and their relationships are explained either in dialogue or narration, but a suggestion.

Ella has returned home to reconnect with her mother after leaving her long-term boyfriend and band far behind. It’s hard to be in a relationship when half of the couple thinks flirting with every female in sight equals promoting the band. Yeah, easy to see through that excuse. It wasn’t the easiest of choices but Ella felt it was time for the break. She had hoped that time with her mom would ease old hurts, give them a better relationship to grow with… unfortunately, she hadn’t counted on her mom continuing on with her life and getting married soon after Ella got back in town.

Dylan has absolutely no intention of letting this woman take his mom’s place in his father’s or his own life. None. It’s beside the point that his mother died when he was a child, or that as an adult he should be glad that his father has found love again. No, just no. And he will do anything and everything in his power to break up this relationship. When he and his soon-to-be stepsister, Ella, are challenged with giving the happy couple an engagement party Dylan sees this as a perfect opportunity to wreak chaos on his dad and Brenda’s so-called happy event. He didn’t count on being attracted to Ella, for the sparks to ignite between them, or to start questioning his reasons because he’s right, isn’t he?

I confess that I didn’t like Dylan at all. Oh, he grew on me by the story’s ending, and I was glad for his change of heart and his own happiness. But like him? No. For me, he comes off as a petulant child not getting his own way — and he’s an adult, a medical professional, and should have known better than to act this way at his age. He’s a grown-up but didn’t act like one for much of this story. On the other hand, I did adore Ella. She’s been through a lot, made tough choices, and even though at times it seems she allows others to take the lead – she at least wanted her mom’s happiness even if she felt a bit left out at times, but that’s what happens when adult children go off and live their own separate lives.

A Wedding on Lilac Lane is a good story with several points of view, we get to catch up with some favorite residents, enjoy watching two totally opposite people find happiness, and see adult children learn that parents are people, too.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher, Forever via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

A Wedding on Lilac Lane by Hope Ramsay is the fourth book in the Moonlight Bay series. This was a good book and well written. This was Ella and Dylan’s romance story. This story was full of family drama, and romance. Their parents are getting married and these two are planning the wedding. It was a bit different from Hope Ramsay’s usual style but was a good story regardless.
Thank you NetGalley for providing this book to me for my honest review.

After years away Ella is back in her hometown. She gets a surprise when her Mother tells her that she is getting married again. She wants Ella and the grooms son to plan the wedding. Even though the son is totally against the marriage he and Ella are attracted to each other. This is a great book about families. The ups and the downs.
