This is a great summer read who doesn’t love a wedding

Lily loves living in Hawke’s Cove, and planning her best friend’s wedding at the Hawkesbury estate is the icing on the cake. But when the estate’s owner dies, and his son cancels the wedding, Lily must face Henry Hawkesbury – a man she hasn’t seen since that fateful night ten years ago…

Henry wants nothing more than to return to Hawke’s Cove, sell his estranged late father’s estate and leave. He certainly does not want to host a wedding, or face Lily, who gets on with everyone – except him!

But when Henry needs Lily’s help, she will only provide it if the wedding can go ahead. Working together means both must face their pasts, and, in doing so embrace their future. But can two people afraid of love acknowledge what they have always wanted…?

This is the final instalment of the Meet me series and what an amazing book to end with. This story is mainly about the characters Lily and Henry. The characters have a past between them, Henry's Girlfriend Claudia is the reason Lily was in a car accident 10 years ago. So they have some awkward encounters before they manage to negotiate over the past. I loved the tension and flirting between the characters, I was constantly thinking just kiss her Henry just make a move haha.

The previous characters in the series V, Malie and Zoe all make an apperance in this book, as V is getting married to Oliver so they all come back to Hawkes Cove for the wedding. I have enjoyed seeing all the Lost Hours girls overcome a bad situation and fall in love and finally find happiness and acceptance for what has happened. All the books are lovely enjoyable books with great fiery, bubbly main characters. I would recommend every book in this series, especially this one. It ended in a such beautiful way, the storylines were all tied together nicely, nothing was left unsaid or unanswered. If you're looking for a good romance book this series will not disappoint.

Really enjoyed this heartwarming book. I mean who doesnt love a wedding so reading about one is just as good. I can imagine myself doing the shopping and organising of this wedding and its brilliant.

I've not read a book by this author before, but I love it. I like that I know of the author from a TV show and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I loved the book.

I don't often get emotional with books but this one I did. It was so consuming I felt like I was there as a guest. Amazing.

I loved the rest of this series. A while ago, I reviewed the first one, "Meet Me in London", and was excited for this fourth and final part of the "Meet Me" series. I enjoyed this, but it felt longer than the others. Maybe my mood was the issue as much as anything, though.

In this fourth instalment, we follow Lily as she plans Victoria's wedding at the Hawkesbury Estate. Unfortunately, the new owner, Henry, who has taken over since his father, Blake's death, is not so easy to work with. Henry has sent all the staff home and cancelled all events, including the wedding. Lily works hard to ensure that the wedding goes ahead precisely as she has planned for Victoria's dream to come true. She has to work with Henry, swallowing her pride, to get the estate back on track and ensure that Victoria's dream wedding and hen party go off without any issues.

While I enjoyed the plot, I don't think I was in the mood for a romance, you know, it's not you, it's me? I did finish it and enjoy it in the end, though. It just felt less remarkable and compelling to read than the others have.

If you have already read any of the previous books, you will be familiar with the four female friends' characters, as there is a book for each friend as they work through their issues and come to terms with them. However, this book focuses more on henry than Lily, and it's interesting to see how he has dealt with the aftermath of the accident that almost killed them all ten years previously. It's had a much more significant impact on Henry than everyone had assumed and affected his life and that of his whole family. His decision to move away and not come home to see his father stems from the accident's after-effects, and it was very touching to see his father still remembered him and left him a legacy.

The characters are robust, and we have followed them through before. I think you could read this as a stand-alone novel, as there is enough to cover not knowing the rest of the series. I enjoyed the ending, a perfect end to a delightful series.

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a love story that isn't too gushy and has an excellent plot.

Just so sweet! Easy, warm, uplifting and romantic - an ideal read for the summer. I loved the characters in this story, the friendship between the girls and the developing romances. Whilst the story was perhaps a little predictable, that was part of it's charm for me - a real feel good tale, ideal for the beach!

The fourth and final book in this series tells the story of Lily.
All the loose ends are tied up by the end of this story and the four friends Lily, Zoe, Victoria and Malie get the happy ending they all deserve

As the fourth instalment of the ‘Meet Me…’ this one follows Lily planning her best friend’s wedding, which will take place at the fancy Hawkesbury estate in the place they grew up. But when the estate’s owner dies, and his son cancels the wedding, Lily must face Henry Hawkesbury – a man she hasn’t seen since that fateful night ten years ago…

When Henry needs Lily’s help, she will only agrees to come to his aid if the wedding can go ahead. Working together means both must face their pasts, and in doing so might just realise something about their future along the way

This was a lovely ready and a very fitting ending to the series that follows a group of four women who were each impacted by an accident over a decade ago. It’s a fun and cutesie romance read without being overtly sickly sweet and there’s a heavy focus on female friendship and being there for another

Filled with clashes and emotional moments, plus so many mouth watering descriptions of food that Lily was cooking up in the kitchen, this was perfect escapism reading!

I absolutely have loved this series of books and stayed up all night to finish this one it was so engaging.

The quartet of girlfriends have been together since an early age and a devastating car accident in their teens has changed all of their lives. As they move forward to adulthood the four have met and found their way and fabulous partners to share them with.

This, like the other books in the series by Georgia Toffolo, is the well written, fun, serious, romantic and just a great read.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Meet me in London remains my favourite book in the series. I loved them all and the characters and will recommend them to anyone who loves romantic comedies with great characters and world build.

Lily is a great friend and throughout the previous books, we get to know a bit of her past and life. Now she takes the main stage in Meet me at the wedding.

After being left at the altar, she's finding hard to get back on track, especially to trust any new or old male friend. Being a restaurant owner in a beautiful setting, she gets to interact with many people, and one from her past is back in town.

A story about friendship and a sweet romance that evolved from an enemy to friends and lovers in the end. This is a perfect combination for any romantic lover.

Very grateful to the publisher for my review copy

I really enjoyed this book in the ‘Meet Me’ series. It was just as good as the previous books in this series. I really loved both Lily and Henry and it was great to learn more about both of them. It was also really good to learn more about the accident that had shaped all of the main characters from the series. It was sensitively written and the chemistry between the two main characters of this book was brilliant. I’m really sorry that this series is over.

This was a highly anticipated read for, having devoured the first books within days of getting my hands on them and this instalment was definitely no different. Pure escapism while still addressing reality and diversity. Hats off to Toff!

A fun and quick romance read which makes you want to delve into Toffolo’s other novels as fast as you finish it. I thoroughly enjoyed the friendships and romance displayed within the book - a unique balance which isn’t seen as much in romance novels. Toffolo definitely ticks the boxes for the perfect summer read. If you’re heading on holiday this year, pick up Meet Me at the Wedding to enjoy in the sun!

I have adored each book in this series but there's something about this one in particular that has captured my heart. I loved the development of Henry and Lily, individually and as a couple. Their chemistry was strong and the depth of their connection even stronger- something blossoming in the soil of a devastating past. You truly want the best for them.
There's no denying the settings are yet again beautiful and detailed to the point my imagination was lost in flowers and vine. Finally, it was as fabulous as ever to have these wonderful women united in one storyline.
A lighthearted, perfect endulgent read.

I didn’t know what to expect when I started this book,as it’s the first book that I have read by this author.
This book is all about Lily who lives in Hawks Cove and runs a restaurant,she is planning her best friend’s wedding at the Hawksbury Estate.The estate owner dies unexpectedly and the so (Henry) returns home to sell the estate as soon as possible and to postpone the wedding. Due to their past Henry wants to avoid Lily at all cost, but there comes a time when Henry needs Lily’s help,the only way that she will do that is if Henry allows the wedding to ahead as planned.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I will definitely be reading the other 3 books.

This is the last book in the Meet Me series which follows a group of four friends. This is Lily's book. Lily has stayed in Hawke's Cove and is enjoying planning her friend Victoria's wedding. Lily hasn't seen Henry since the night of the accident and he has returned to Hawke's Cove to sell his family's estate. Lily doesn't expect to fall for Henry but as they spend time together organising the wedding their feelings blossom.

I have really enjoyed reading this series. This series is a lot of fun to read and I like all of the characters. I thought that this was a good conclusion to the series. I liked the epilogue as we got to see all of the characters in the future and enjoying their lives after overcoming the difficulties they had following the car accident.

This is the first book I have read in this series and I loved it. You can read this as a stand alone book but I can't wait to read the others. It's an easy feel good read

Thank you netgalley for my ARC

I loved this book what a perfect way to the end series where it all started. Absolutely loved the story of Lily and Henry. People change and people wants and needs change so was nice to see that. Loved the wedding and the description of all the dresses Victoria created.

Lily's story and its conclusion for the four friends are lovely. Lily and Henry have an emotional time working together, albeit reluctantly, to get the country estate and Victoria's wedding on track. There are plenty of conflicts mixed with lighter moments and delightful romance too.

I like the friendship between the women, the contemporary slant of the romance and the glamorous settings, perfect escapism.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.
