Last Chance in the Keys

by Sage Parker

She’s searching for her missing best friend…and longing for a change.

Before Molly went missing, April thought her life was simply ordinary. Their days were spent dealing with annoying customers at the café and laughing about her string of disastrous dates.

But with weeks passing and no leads from the police, April decides to take matters into her own hands. She quits her job and travels to the place Molly was last seen, a sleepy vacation spot in Key West.

While investigating the disappearance for herself, April follows the clues of Molly’s last movements and finds herself falling for Alex – the handsome owner of a local seafood restaurant. She's thrilled when he offers her a job and a place to stay while she's in town.

But that was before she found out Molly had accepted the same offer right before she vanished.

Does Alex know more than he's leading on? Can he help find her best friend? April won’t give up until she gets answers, no matter where that leads her.

She’s searching for her missing friend…and longing for a change.

Before Molly went missing, April thought her life was simply ordinary. Her days were spent dealing with ungrateful customers at the café and laughing about her string of disastrous dates with her best friend.

But with weeks passing and no leads from the police, April decides to take matters into her own hands. She quits her job and travels to the place Molly was last seen, a tranquil vacation spot in Key West to investigate the disappearance for herself.

Following the clues of Molly’s last movements, April finds herself falling for Alex, the handsome owner of a local seafood restaurant. When he offers her a job and a place to stay, she is thrilled.

But that was before she found out Molly had accepted the same offer right before she vanished.

This contemporary women's fiction is page-turning with exceptional world-building in the small town of Key West where the tranquility consumed everyone, and its magnificent breathtaking beautiful sunrise, sunsets, that are vibrantly painted across the skies, and the gorgeous white sandy beaches that are lined with turquoise water, and characters that are independent, captivating, and realistic. Their journey is enthralling with last chance in the keys, island mystery, suspense romance, starting over, heartfelt emotions that will have readers needing Kleenex/Puffs to wipe the tears that are threatening to spill down their cheeks, adventure, action, and more. I recommend reading his book by an extraordinary author who knows how to captivate her readers' hearts and attention with the last chance in the Keys and a second chance romance that is sure to transport readers into a world that is suspenseful and unforgettable.

OK, so know we are down in the keys and April must figure something out in order to be able to stay and search for her friend. She is out of money so she can't afford the private investigator now but he did send her lots of information including pictures of places she was spotted and people she was seeing.
April comes to a restaurant at the end of Alligator Alley as she enters the Keys and decides to stop so she can use the restroom. She figures she will start at this place and ask for any information they may have.
She sits at the bar and an attractive man named Alex asks what he can get her. Surprisingly they really enjoy talking to each other and April admits that she is looking for a job. He asks what she has been doing and then offers her the bar tending job at the restaurant. She says she has to find an apartment or room to rent and he tells her as part of her job she can stay in the boathouse in the back. It seems like April's luck is changing now that she is here.
Throughout the book we read as April learns her job, enjoys her time and friends at the restaurant and looks into Molly's disappearance. She starts to learn more and more about Molly being there and some things are just not adding up. What is going on and what will she continue to find.
On to book three, can't wait.

April had taken the bartender job with Alex, as she had found a picture of Molly entering the the restaurant.
She asked other employees and some frequent customers if they knew of Molly, to no avail. But, she didn't show them Molly's picture.
She found the another picture of Molly entering a coffee shop, she found the Coffee shop and showed the owner Molly's picture. He recognized her immediately. He said she came there every morning for2 weeks, but, he hadn't seen her in about 10 days, AND, she didn't go by Molly, but Olivia!!!!
Where is Sage taking us now????

So near and yet so far! April has a couple of sightings of Molly but it appears that she always misses her when she gets to the destination. Too many coincidences keep occurring and Molly is nowhere to be seen. This is getting very exciting and I am enjoying trying to unravel the clues Ms Parker is sending our way. As everything is seeming to settle for April we just know that it won't last long.
Alex, Mark and the PI are all very mysterious characters and I hope for April’s sake that they are all trustworthy and help her find her friend.

This book continues with Alice searching for Molly. She has a temporary job in Key West and a place to stay. This book goes into some details on how her search is going. Mark and Alex are interested in Alice but I wonder if they have ulterior motives. I like how cautious she is when it comes to trusting people. I wonder if there is someone watching Alice and dropping clues. The cliffhanger is a doozy!! Come on next book!!!.

This is a good series. April is still in Key West looking for her roommate and friend, Molly, who disappeared. Her old boss, thinks she just left, but April still doesn't think she would leave without telling her. She makes a friend with the owner of a coffee shop, who remembers Molly, though she went by a different name there. Most questions pop up each day with no answer in sight.

Still searching...

A great book as April continues searching for her friend Molly. New revelations come to light that are confusing and fascinating. I love how April is surrounded by intrigue and distractions. And, of course, the cliff hanger ending leaves me wanting to read the next book in the series.

I read this book as part of an advance reader team and am voluntarily providing my opinion.

[Jacqueline Johnston Cotton · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a twisty mystery with a colorful cast of characters in a gorgeous setting. This series is going to be full of secrets and adventure. There are more questions than answers at this point but April is digging in deep to find out all she can about Molly and her disappearance. Quick and easy reading. I'm hooked and am loving every second of time spent in the keys with this series.

April has found proof Molly was in Key West. The problem is she can't afford to pay the PI and she's on her own. At least she's got a job and place to live. Unfortunately, she also has more questions, problems keeping her lies straight, and two guys interested in her.

This mystery of Molly/Olivia's disappearance thickens. What is going on and is Mark behind what happened Molly? Will April confide in Alex to see if he knows Molly? So many suspicious individuals make this mystery captivating. I am excited to see where book three will lead.

Story continues

I normally speed through Sages books but this is a slow read. The story is slow in developing. April continues her search for Molly and stays in contact with her friends back in Miami. It's slow going in her search and getting clues are slow coming. She is still getting calls from Mark and getting close to her boss.
