Mari and Ethan were best friends and dated in high school. Mari had a rough home life and Ethan's family had taken her in. After a fight with Ethan and a fall out with his family. Mari packed up and left. Ethan's brother, Rake, finds Mari on the side of the road and offered to take her with him. Mari and Rake end up getting married more out of support and comfort for each other and to raise her son. Rake ends up ill and his dying wish was for Mari to go back home and confront her past. Ethan ends up working for Mari and Mari breaks the news that he has a son. Mari, Ethan and Ethan's family have many obstacles to overcome and go through many emotions but at the end it was clear that Ethan and Mari still had feelings for each other. I went through many emotions reading Wedding Surprise. It was an enjoyable read.

Wedding Surprise is book four in the Moore Sisters series. It is a stand alone book, but I recommend reading the entire series to fully appreciate the storyline and characters. This is a wonderful second chance at love story.

Wedding Surprise is a well written romance. I loved the plot that is all about second chances at love. I recommend to fans of romance novels. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed this book. Secret baby and return to home are my very favorite genre types. I like the way the author kept us in suspense as to what secrets Mari had to share. Mari had run away after being falsely accused of trashing her foster family’s home by her foster dad. She had been in a relationship with the son, Ethan who had just broken up with her and said he didn’t believe her. She ran into the older son Rake who promised her to take care of her. Mari learned she was pregnant with Ethan’s baby and his brother offered to marry her and take care of them. She did try to reach Ethan but he never saw the messages or phone calls. Rake was a boxer and due to too many head traumas got a fatal disease. He made Mari promise to take their son Noah and return to Montana and his family after his death. Noah is 10 when she returns. It is a shock to Ethan to learn he has a son and his mom is hurt and angry. The dad is still a problem. As the book unfolds we learn why Rake also ran away and the secrets he had. It was a wonderful book, a definite 5 plus stars!

Mary and Ethan’s story is the final book in the Moore sisters of Montana series. They were in love as teenagers, but their immaturity and circumstances divided them. Mari eventually married Ethan’s estranged older brother Rake; although, no one in the family was aware of their marriage. Rake arranged for Mari and her son Noah to return to Cherry Lake after his death in order to resolve things with his family. This allowed Mari and a Ethan to reconnect and for Ethan to meet his son Noah. The book was a nice conclusion to the series.

This review is solely my own thoughts about "Wedding Surprise" by Ann B. Harrison. Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGallery for a opportunity to read and review this book.
I have to say, I did not have a hard time reading this book. I was pleasantly surprised with the story line, the main characters, Mari and Ethan and their journey for a second chance at love.
This book is a sweet look at how life can kick you down but, you can overcome and learn how to forgive. I do have to say one thing that did kind of get on my nerves was the repetitive statement of how polite Mari's son was........
I did not realize this was the 4th book in a series. But, I am happy to say, you can read this as a stand alone book. Though I will be reading the previous three books as I vey much enjoyed Ann. B. Harrison's writing style.
If you are looking for a quick, sweet romance then this book is for you.

This series has been nothing be a delight to read. Mari and Ethan finally finding their way back to each other and their own HEA after ten years was heartwarming. The author has a unique way of giving the type of heart to her characters that makes it quite difficult for them not the leave a lasting impression. Emotions run high throughout the story, yet as the layers of years of misunderstandings and hurt feelings were peeled away, the joy that encompassed everyone was truly sigh worthy. The ending for the couple could not have been more perfect.

Only guessing that this is the last book in the series since each of the Moore sisters have found their way home and their HEA, I can say that I will miss Cherry Lake.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

A possible second chance at love romance. Wedding Surprise by Ann B. Harrison, book four in The Moore Sisters of Montana series. I enjoyed reading more of Mari's story. The storyline grabbed me from the first page and wouldn't let me go until the last page.

Enjoyable read, but I did find that it felt a bit rushed and could have been a longer book.
I haven't read all of the books in this series but I don't think it mattered.

There was something about this book that didn't work for me. I struggled to get into it, and that never happened. I found myself skimming it and then giving up. When a book doesn't click for me after the first few pages, it is a lost cause. Nothing clicked at all, the entire book!

Wow I have to say that this was such a heartfelt romance book about a second chance love. When I picked it up to read I did not realize it was the fourth book in the series. It for sure can be read as a standalone but I am going to have to go back now and read the first three. This book grabbed me from the first sentence. I loved the small town, the characters; I loved everything about this book. When Mari and Ethan see each other again after all the years that have gone by you can feel what they feel for each other in their actions and their words. You can also tell how much they hurt each other and how they are each unsure if the other was in the wrong. They are unsure if they can forgive each other. This book is a journey of learning to forgive. It is about learning that sometimes you cannot just think you understand if you never really tried to understand. It is also about learning that sometimes things are not as they seem. I could not get enough of this book. It kept me up really late into the night. I am really hoping for a book 5 in this series maybe about Christian. Thanks so much Net Galley. I voluntarily reviewed this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was awful. It has been many years since I have hated a book and this one was the book to hate.

first issue: Mari our single mom heroine marries her ex boyfriends brother. I hate brother sharing a heroine and this was terrible. They run away together and she ends up pregnant with his brothers child and they never ever tell him and instead get married.

second issue: It was all pointless. The big secret didn't seem that big to me and it wasn't even true. So the brother who she marries and dies lives his whole life believing a falsehood

That said the book was not too long so I was able to finish it. But still Ethan does not know his son for ten years and he forgives way too easily and they pick up right where they left off.
