“Sometimes when you’re trying to navigate the course of your life, it’s better to just ride the wave,” Maggie said. “Part of the fun is not knowing where you’ll end up.”

Three generations of women, a new pup and a bonfire on the beach ~ What could possibly go wrong?

Just when things seem to be quieting down on Captiva Island, several new developments within the Wheeler family throw their world into turmoil once again.

An old injury has the potential to disrupt the Moretti’s plans for the Key Lime Garden Inn. Even the romance and beauty of Ciara and Crawford’s wedding in Gaeta, Italy can’t protect the Moretti’s from the threat of permanent change for their family.

It will take Grandma Sarah’s quirky wisdom, an evening under the stars, and an islander’s selfless act of love to turn things right again.

Come back to Captiva Island and fall in love once again with a cast of characters who overcome everything life throws their way by holding on to each other.

I loved this series but I felt left hanging. Did Lauren have a boy? Did Beth decide on a new career? So many other questions.

Excellent!

This whole series is just wonderful. The Wheeler family are portrayed with such great personalities that Annie Cabot makes them feel like part of your family. She has made each person in the Wheeler family come alive in each their own way, making such wonderful characteristics for each family member. You really must read all ten books, each is more captivating than the previous book. I hope there are at least ten more books in this series!!! I will be there the minute they come out!!

I love series books. You know the characters and their lives. At one point I was going to stop reading these books, but I knew I couldn't. I really like this family. I'm so glad I changed my mind. This book has a few story lines in it. One daughter wants to quit her job as an attorney and it is tormenting her. She goes to Captiva to get some motherly advise. I wish I could be Maggie with all her wisdom.

I have enjoyed the stories

Having spent many vacations on the islands, I enjoy mention of places I have been.

However, at times I get frustrated with lack of accuracy

They never mention the No-See-Ums, as they enjoy the beautiful sunsets

They zip around the island, and go off island with no mention of traffic jams

Somehow the workers at the Inn, can work there and afford to live on the island

inconsistencies

As I've moved thru this series I notice what I might call sloppy inconsistencies. In book 10, there were two scenes where Lauren was drinking alcohol while pregnant. I enjoy the series and they are quick enjoyable reads. The inconsistencies bother me.
