About this ebook

Continue this later in life romance series from USA Today bestselling author Elana Johnson! You'll get heaps of second chance at love romance, sweet and steamy kisses, and a found family inside this friendship fiction novel featuring a Supper Club! For fans of Rachel Hanna, Brenda Novak, Susan Mallery, Pamela Kelley, Jan Moran, Elizabeth Bromke, and Kellie Coates Gilbert.

Cassandra Haslam loves plans. Lunch plans, wedding plans, and floor plans—they all bring her joy. In fact, she's had her entire life planned out—career, marriage, and family—since age ten. She's smart, hard-working, and a real go-getter, and everything has fallen into place so far.

Until her husband dies suddenly, right when she's about to enjoy the fruits of all of her hard work and planning, leaving Cass reeling and...well, without a plan.

When her youngest graduates three months later, making her an empty-nester as well as a widow, Cass decides it's time to make a new plan for herself.

It's not a back-up plan.

It's a paradise plan.

With one of her best friends now living in Hilton Head, Cass makes a move and purchases a piece of waterfront property on the island. It's the perfect place to build her paradisiacal life and her new self as she designs and constructs a beautiful beach house.

But when she injures herself—not in the plan, by the way—she meets general-contractor-turned-doctor Harrison Tate. He helps her out of a jammed thumb, a sprained ankle, and a bruised ego.

When he keeps showing up unannounced at her construction site, sometimes with her favorite pastries, Cass starts to wonder if she should add him to her daily routine... If she does, will her perfectly laid out plans fall short of paradise? Or could she find her new life and a new love, all without any plans at all?

 

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed Cassandra’s story. It was sad when West dies but her life goes on and she makes the decision to move to Hilton Head Island to be near Bess and Grant. Her children however have other plans and try to stop her. I liked the way Harrison fights for her and doesn’t give up. I would love an outdoor kitchen like Harrison has. I also cannot wait for Lauren’s story. I would recommend this book. I received an arc and the views and opinions are my own.

This is my voluntary review of a copy I received from the author. Great characters! All of the characters seemed realistic... Cass and her family are each going through grief differently. Her friends and Harrison's friendship and the care he shows help to heal her heart. Which surprises her kids. They aren't ready to move on yet. Harrison really likes Cass. He understands that she likes him too. He worries he's not good enough. BUT, he's a grown-up. He actually has the hard conversations w

Happy reading it's so heart warming loveeee it❤️❤️❤️❤️
