Lowcountry Lost by T.I. Lowe is a beautifully written, emotional journey of healing and second chances. The story follows Avalee Elvis, a woman who has made it her mission to restore neglected properties, pouring her heart into making them whole again. However, she can't fix the puzzle of her own past—especially the loss and heartbreak that continues to haunt her. When she returns to the small town of Somewhere, South Carolina, for her latest project, she’s confronted by the last person she ever expected to see: Rowan Murray, the man who once knew her better than anyone, and the man who was part of the tragedy that tore them apart.

The chemistry between Avalee and Rowan is palpable as they navigate their painful history and work together on the revitalization of the town. As they face old wounds, their connection slowly rekindles, and the possibility of a second chance at love and healing emerges. T.I. Lowe beautifully captures the essence of forgiveness, loss, and the power of undying love, all set against the backdrop of the charming South Carolina Lowcountry.

The audiobook delivers this poignant tale with warmth and sincerity, keeping the listener emotionally invested in Avalee and Rowan's journey. Lowcountry Lost is a heartfelt, unforgettable story that combines themes of love, redemption, and personal growth. It’s perfect for readers who appreciate Southern fiction with deep emotional layers and a sense of hope.

Lowcountry Lost is an emotional, soul-stirring read that completely wrecked me in the best way. Avalee’s journey of rebuilding abandoned places while carrying the weight of her own loss is beautifully woven into the restoration of a forgotten town. Rowan’s presence adds another layer of heartbreak and healing, making their story deeply compelling. T.I. Lowe’s writing is immersive—these characters felt real, lingering in my thoughts even when I wasn’t reading. I laughed, cried (a lot), and felt every moment. This isn’t just about renovating a town; it’s about restoring a life. Absolutely beautiful—I’ll be reading more from Lowe!

I absolutely loved this book. I listened to the audio version, and it made it so much better. The narrator did an amazing job. The author, T.I. Lowe, did an excellent job telling the story of love being redeemed along with restoring an deserted town. I found this book to be heart warming and unforgettable. I can't wait to read more from this author.

Thank you Net Galley ARC, RB Media, and TI Lowe

Can a person be a ghost town?
From the hauntingly beautiful prologue through until the end of the redemptive epilogue, this book held me captive. The writing, the storyline, the processing of grief, the character development, the setting; all were wonderful.
Narration by Zura Johnson is one of the best I've heard. Her mastery of the various accents enhanced the story immeasurably. Since finishing the audio of this book (provided by Netgalley and RB Media in exchange for my honest review), I have purchased the e-book to peruse and ponder and re-experience the tale with slightly less tension.
Sensitive readers should be aware of the recurring themes of pregnancy loss and debilitating grief.

This novel has a very "Hallmark Movie" feel, from the main characters to the minor characters, even the ghost town setting. I enjoyed the chemistry and history between the two main characters but found the whole plot too predictable. I did appreciate the way the author dealt with the topic of grief surrounding the loss of a child.
3.5 stars

Thank you NetGalley and RB Media for allowing me early access to the ARC audiobook edition of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

I think maybe I just wasn’t the target audience for this book. It seems to have near-universal love, yet I just couldn’t get into it at all. It just felt so overly southern in an old-school way that I can’t personally relate to. But if that’s your jam, this may be the perfect choice for you.

Zura Johnson’s audiobook narration seemed to suit the book perfectly.

Thank you T.I. Lowe, RBMedia, and NetGalley for providing this ARC for review consideration. All opinions expressed are my own.

I loved it so much. Emotional, heartfelt, and very well written. This is my 3rd book by this author. Narrator was very good at delivering the story and pulling on my heartstrings. I recommend.

I really don't know how I feel about this book. I typically love this authors work but this just felt different. I did not enjoy the narrator. I just don't think she fit the FMC well, and honestly just lessened my enjoyment of the book. I don't think she is a bad voice actress in general, I just feel this was not a good pairing for this particular book. As far as the story goes, it was meh for the most part. I enjoyed second half of the book much more than the first for sure. I did find the ending wrapped up a little too quickly. I would have liked to have seen it fleshed out a bit more. The setting was great and I loved the idea of a town restoration. I think this would have made a good duology to see more of the found family and the town growth.
Thank you NetGalley, Recorded Books, and RBmedia for the opportunity to listen and review this advanced copy.

I really enjoyed this second chance romance. The idea of finding a ghost town, and rebuilding it, making it a destination for tourists, is such a cool one. I love the characters in the story and how things developed. The characters were likeable and relatable.

The narration in the audiobook was engaging and I enjoyed it.

To say this audiobook was amazing is an understatement. My first time reading or in this case listening to anything written by this author, but I can assure you it won't be my last. I listened to this book and had it finished in two days, I was sad when it was over. I received this Advanced reader digital copy of this book from Netgalley and I have voluntarily written an honest review. I wish I could have given this book a rating higher than 5 stars, because it deserved so much more.

I would rate this a 3.5. The characters are interesting but somehow the interactions between them don’t quite come together for me. It takes a long time to get to the reveal so I kept feeling impatient to understand some of the relationships involved and if there was a point.
The plot was good and there was depth to the characters, just too much wait and see. It actually took away from what should have been building anticipation.
I would probably try another of the author’s books.

4⭐
I haven't listened to an audiobook that feels like a warm hug in such a long time.
It did take a while to get thoroughly invested but once I was, I kinda didn't want the story to end - though, the ending did infact make me smile, so it was definitely worth it.

✨ Would 100% recommend as an audiobook.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and Net Galley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed Lowcountry Lost. It is a tender, sweet story of second chance love, forgiveness and family. It had me laughing and crying. Even though is has the label Christian Fiction, it is not overly "preachy" but rather weaves the character's faith throughout the story. I feel Ms. Lowe created very real and relatable characters. If you need a feel good "Hallmark-esq" story, give this one a try. I enjoyed the audio book and the narrator.

I had not read or listened to any audiobooks from this author before this. The cover piqued my interest, so I then read the summary of the book and it sounded like something I would enjoy. I listen to audiobooks at work, and I end up listening to the same book several times over, so it is important to have a narrator with a pleasant voice. This narrator definitely ticked that box for me. The different characters were voiced very well. I would definitely listen to other books narrated by this actor. As I had mentioned, this was my first experience with this author. I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed this book. Possibly because I understood what the characters were experiencing because I have gone through the same kind of loss. I liked the author so much, that I have bought and started listening to another book. Thank you for allowing me to listen.

What a great audiobook! It had me laughing, as well as in tears! The story focuses on Avalee, a contractor who is leading the effort to restore an abandoned town. That forms the basis for all the subplots that occur around that setting. We get to hear about the details and challenges of such an undertaking, which is quite interesting and very easy to imagine from the narration. Underlying this story is the heartbreak that Avalee suffered several years ago, still eating at her to the point of insomnia. This is complicated by the fact that her ex-husband has been hired as an engineer for the project and she will have to interact with him daily. The supporting characters are fascinating: carpenter brothers who like to play pranks, a thieving dog who camps out in the chapel, a runaway teen who is eager to learn the trade from Avalee, even the whole staff at the tattoo/piercing/nail salon made me laugh.

This novel is rich with southern charm and multiple storylines. It's one of the best I"ve read/listened to this year! I hope there are more like it to come! Thank you to RBMedia and NetGalley for providing an advance review copy of this audiobook. My opinions are my own.

Avalee Lewis has been awarded a project in the Low country of South Carolina to rebuild and revitalize a ghost town however the structural engineer who presents ends up being her ex- husband!

Goodness, where do I begin this story is magical, all encompassing and emotional in so many ways. The honesty, grief and pure emotion of loss is so spot on that sometimes it was hard to experience while at the same time vindicating and identifiable. I absolutely loved and was also sad about Avalee and Rowan's journey. This loss is hard to overcome and also no one's fault, it is emotional and heartbreaking. This story is beautifully told and amazing ❤️

Thank you RB media for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

This second chance romance is set against the backdrop of a South Carolina ghost town that investors have hired a renovation firm to restore and revitalize. The last person Avalee expects to see again, while working on her biggest project yet, is her ex-husband Rowan. Can they work together to heal a broken town, and each other?

Looking past the far-fetched idea of flipping an entire small town's business district (it's fiction, so suspend reality, I guess), I really enjoyed this story. It's heartwarming, witty, and emotional, and I fell in love with every character. I no longer seek out Christian fiction (most of it is terrible imo) so I'm glad I didn't know going in that this book had religious themes. It surprised me, how good it was, but the themes of redemption and second chances certainly track. Although the story dragged a bit at times, I'm actually sorry to have finished it because I was getting so invested in the characters.

The audiobook narrator was perfect for this story. She conveyed so much warmth and heart.

Trigger warnings for pregnancy/child loss.

This story of loss and redemption, hope and despair, destruction and restoration kept me engaged and guessing from the very first word to the last, I fell in love with the entire quirky, deep, troubled lot of characters, and became invested in their lives. Lowe expertly wove this story together, taking us along for the ride for this beautiful, painful story of finding hope in what feels like destruction, renovations of a town and lives, and letting go of the past so you can embrace the future. The audiobook narration was also excellent. Highly recommended.

Thank you to Net Galley for the ARC.

I like a small town backdrop setup in a novel, and hence enjoyed this one. The elements of second chances also stands out. The book is beautifully narrated and handles grief and loss beautifully, and portrays the beauty of healing.

The book may sound a light read, but has deeper level humane themes that make it a good read.

The book touches you on a emotional level, and the narrative is quite evocative. I liked the concept of restoration of abandoned properties as a theme. This is the first I have read something with the concept. I feel it parallels the theme of healing.

I’ve loved every book I’ve read by TI Lowe and this one is no different. Highly recommend, 5 stars… more to come.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an E- Arc in exchange for an honest review.
