Forty-one, widowed, and an empty nester. That was Ally’s life before the accident.
In those brief moments on the other side she saw vast blue waters, endless coastline, and the familiar sound of her best friends laugh. Spurred on by these images, she contacts an estranged friend about her family home in Maine which needs to be sold.
Arriving on the island to find the house in much worse shape than she ever imagined, Ally becomes the talk of the village – and the object of a handsome local man’s affection.
Trying to juggle the house renovations, her old friend, and dating – it’s a whole new world.
Between impulsive romances, rekindled relationships and a family past she never knew about, Ally finds out that her life is only just beginning.
What a wonderful ending to this series by Sage Parker. I have loved these characters all throughout this series and reading their individual journeys made me smile. So much love and happiness and everyone is willing to help when things got tough. All of these books have a beautiful message and they all have a feel good vibe that leaves you wanting to read more. As soon as I open a book by Sage Parker I have a smile on my face because I know that I will be reading a wonderful adventure.

If you haven't read the previous books in the series I highly recommend you read them prior to reading this one.
A story line that will pull you in and hold your attention until you read the last page. The characters are endearing, enjoyable, easy to get to know and feel like old friends long before you finish the book. A great summertime read to escape everyday life for a short time.

They both like each other and do not seem to be able to tell the others that they want to be more than friends.
Eventually Jason proposes auto Ally and wedding plans begin.
But.......they don't seem to go smoothly. Problems with catering, dress, goes lists, etc. The last straw Ally's daughter would not be able to attend, as she is stuck with a missed flight.
When Wanda nd Gio tell them they news - everything seems to fall into place
This series is complete, but have found out another series is The Beachside Cafe.
Another super series! As usual I’m sorry to see a series by this author come to an end. There is so much love, happiness, and desire to help others that the real world dims in comparison. This is why we read! Even reading about love, happiness, and willingness to help others can brighten up ones day. As I’m certain is the case with her other fans I’m anxiously awaiting her next series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Ally and Jason come to the end of this series, in a wedding, but the journey there is not easy. The characters are terrific and they all seem like close friends and family after all that has happened. The storyline still has plenty of surprises and twists to keep you hooked until the end. So many weddings and babies, and traveling to Greece. Totally riveted from start to finish. Love the ending.

I finished the six book it wss a great one . All the excitement of opening the artists scantary in her home.They came from all over different States and countries. Also Ally finally falling in love with Jason. And their wedding in Greece. Also Jason daughter living for a time with her Son. These books have been fun to read.
I love all the characters in this series. I loved the main characters of Alli and Wanda were women who had went to school together and even though they hadn’t seen each other for many years, they were able to pick up their friendship and grow it!
This series is a set of 6 novellas. It is a fun way to read the entire story. Each novella deals with a separate issue, such as Ally arriving on the island with plans to fix up and sell her grandmother's house, Ally and Wanda's trip to Italy or Ally and Maeve's trip to Scotland. Start with book 1 and read all 6 in order for a really nice story.
I love that being an eighty year old ex Aussie with British/Jewish heritage living in Houston, So easy to relate to all the characters. I look forward to spending the rest of my years on this planet with husband John living close to his family in New England. Mind you the snow may be a bit of a challenge.!! Always an avid reade sometimes a writer books hav3 Thank you so much Sage.
This was a great ending to a great series. It all led up to the wedding of Ally and Jason, who didn’t see that coming. This was an exciting book that left you with a great feeling. Looking forward to seeing what this author comes up with next. Great Job Sage
This was a good series and the last book was actually one of my favorites. I loved the realism in this book and the relationships that grew, like they would in real life!

I fell for this series with the first book and couldn't be more pleased . The characters are spontaneous , charming and down to earth . It was one big adventure after an another full of life issues , and surprises in the end it was one big happy family .
I really enjoyed reading this series of books. The characters were so real I felt like I knew them. Highly recommend this whole series. Now are we going to have a story about Maeve and Hayley? Very good reading.
I love reading series, especially where the story isn't too long, these were perfect. Stories that are clean and offering a second chance to start a new life. This is one author I will be seeking out more books.
I love books that tell of second chances for love and growth. Ally not only finds a new life, she finds herself. I'll definitely be looking for more from Sage Parker!
Absolutely amazing from the very first page to the last word. I've loved every book in the series. Couldn't wait to read the next book. I've laughed, I've also cried. Well written.
This was a great ending for this series. Of course, we knew that Ally and Jason were going to get married. But, who else? You will really enjoy this series.
What a wonderful ending to a wonderful series! This book and the entire series was beautifully written and was an absolute joy to read. I can't wait to see what her next series will be about.
I love this author. Each of her series just keeps getting better. She writes amazing continuing stories and had delightful real characters. this book was a 5 star and a great ending to the series.
