I have a few favorite authors of contemporary fiction and romance and Rochelle Alers is definitely high on the list. I know that when I pick up a book written by her I will not be disappointed and I have never been.
I read Lessons Of A Lowcountry Summer when it was first released a few years ago. I came across the book today while searching for another book and decided to re-read it and write the review.

Thought this would prove to be an enjoyable summer read - after all, there's summer in the title and clear blue water on the cover. I might have enjoyed it more had I stopped there! The book is primarily about how three successful/well-to-do African-Americans are forever changed by the summer they spend on one of the South Carolina sea island rich with Gullah culture. It starts out well enough, but it felt like the author either got tired of the characters or pressed against a deadline because t...more

Loved it
great read. Based on the location, took a vacation to the Gullah area of Georgia/South Carolina. Recommended highly. Good story line.
Lessons of a Lowcountry Summer by Rochelle Alers was a pretty good read. I have to say, though, that her dialogue kept bringing me out of the story. I find it true that writing in dialect does bring you out of the story, even if it is how normal people talk.
