Whisling Island Weddings
Bess is getting married. To the man who's chosen her again and again. To the man she'd choose forever. And of course Julia is thrilled for her two friends. But she does wonder if that kind of a blessing is out of her own reach. So when Ellis shows up as a wedding guest and insists on being Julia's date, she begins to let her guard down. And starts to hope that maybe she isn't doomed to a lifetime of loneliness. However when Ellis has to leave the island to go on tour right after their date and a man from Julia's past appears out of the blue, can what Julia and Ellis might have weather the kinds of obstacles that are thrown their way? Especially when Ellis can't even physically be with Julia?
Piper is enduring a mother's worst nightmare. Her sweet, perfect, baby girl, Kristie, is dying. Cancer is stealing her and there is nothing Piper can do. Other than spend the time they have left in the best way they know how. And even as Piper knows taking each day at a time is what she has to do, not only for Kristie but for herself, ignoring the brief timeline hanging over their heads seems nearly impossible. How is Piper supposed to find joy in the journey when she knows the moment Kristie is no longer with her, her life won't even feel worth living?
Amber has become a permanent fixture in Nora's life and Nora feels like she has found a home on cloud nine. Especially because Amber has come to visit Whisling and Nora. But when Amber receives life altering news can Nora help the daughter that she barely knows to navigate her future? Or will Nora fail to be the support Amber craves in her time of need?
Alexis has finally found love with a man who adores her as much as she cares for him. Jared couldn't be more perfect, well, with the exception of his ex-wife. But Marsha is in his past, right? However, Alexis quickly learns that the past tends to creep into the present and if she can't deal with Jared's history, she won't get to be a part of his future.
Individually and as a couple, Olivia and Dean have survived their fair share, and maybe more, of trials. But with Dean's mom settling in on the island and Olivia's girls still as in love with Dean as they've ever been, life couldn't feel more right. Except that Dean has a surprise up his sleeve that could change everything.
Join the women of Whisling as they experience better and worse, sickness and health, and lots of love in between.

Whisling Island Weddings is by Julia Clemens. This series has really been good; but this particular book lacks the exhilaration that the others have had. It lacks a little something. However, it is still good. Of course, anything about weddings is fun to read about.
Bess and Dax are finally getting married. They had hoped for an outdoor wedding; but the weather did not cooperate and at the last minute, the wedding was changed to Bess and Dax’s living room. The reception dinner had been planned for that room so it was quickly changed and the room was lovely with the white chairs and all the lovely white flowers. While there was confusion and chaos downstairs, upstairs Bess was calm and cool. She showed no signs of bridal jitters. The wedding went off without a hitch.
The same couldn’t be said for other members of the Whisling Island group. Bill and Margie were still having problems simply because his daughter, Marsha was not accepting the marriage in spite of everything Margie tried. Her daughter and his other daughter, Lou, were all for the wedding. Why couldn’t Marsha be?
Marsha had divorced her husband, Jared, and was pursuing her married boyfriend. Although they shared custody, Jared had the two children most of the time and was turning into a fantastic and more attentive father. He started dating Alexis, Margie’s daughter. Marsha set the children against Alexis. When confronted by Alexis, Marsha admitted she wanted Jared back to keep them a family. However, she didn’t want to lose her married lover either. How would Jared take this news?
Piper and her ex-husband, Carter, were spending more time together since he moved back to the island and changed his job from traveling to a desk job where he could work remotely. He had come back because their daughter Kristie’s cancer had come back. This time, the doctors said there was no hope of remission. Kristie decided on living her life out without more chemo. She had accepted the doctor’s verdict. Her boyfriend, Brock, stood beside her and decided he wanted to marry her. After some thought, Piper agreed because of all the future things Kristie would miss, she could give her a wedding. This despite the fact that Kristie and Brock were only fifteen!
These events and more kept the book interesting and readable. However, there wasn’t a big problem to be solved and the excitement wasn’t there.

It’s a good series
I’ve read the whole series so far. I didn’t feel like some of the female characters were defined enough to picture in my head what they might look like. Some of the writing seemed to go on and on. I enjoyed the main characters and I would have been happy sticking with them and their family rather than reaching out in the last couple of books to just stretch out the series. So I am not interested in reading anymore. Kept hoping it would get better.

I loved the weddings. I loved how part of Nora’s heart and dreams are coming true. My heart is breaking for Piper and Kristy. I’m saddened by the anger surrounding Alexis. All in all a great story!

Another wonderful year jerker!
I loved every minute of this book. To see the Weddings of some of my favorite characters was wonderful. Ms. Clemens has a way of weaving the happy with the sad and then throws in some suspense for good measure. Can't wait to read more!Enjoy!

good read
I think I like this book better than any of the others because there was more happiness in this book instead of crying and break ups although there is one but it’s promising!

Whisling Island Weddings
A wonderful continuation of the Whisling Island series. I look forward to the next book. Each book is fresh without a lot of rehash from previous stories - something I appreciate.

This book was very interesting with the stalker ad Ellis now in Julia's life. The problem with James's ex causing problems. The weddings that took place. Look forward to reading the next story.
