Compass Key #3
The Dream
Second chances do exist.
Five former sorority sisters, all in their 50's, undertake the adventure of a lifetime when a mysterious invite reunites them at an exclusive resort set on a private island.
Olivia was the quiet one. Her divorce from her alcoholic husband freed her in many ways but caused a rift with her daughter that seems impossible to heal.
Amanda was the perfect one. Widowed and desperately broke but hiding it, she needs a new start more than anyone can imagine.
Leigh Ann was the cheerleader. Her ongoing divorce is completely amicable, or so she’d like everyone to believe. The truth isn’t quite as rosy.
Grace was the party girl. And she still is, much to the dismay of her husband, who’s struggling to keep their restaurant afloat. Grace hopes her time away will give them both the space she thinks they need.
Katie was the brains. Now she’s incredibly successful but hiding secrets that could change her life if they were to get out.
When their beloved house mother invites them on an all-expenses-paid vacation, then drops a huge surprise on them, the five friends face a major decision. Can they overcome their pasts in order to take advantage of the amazing future being offered?
Take the journey to Compass Key with them and find out.

This story just keeps getting better and better! Five strong women, an island paradise, supportive men, and a smattering of family drama. The story is complex (each woman has her own story) and secrets abound. This book kept me turning pages - a very fun read, but definitely one where you want to read the books in order to get the full story!

Just the right amount of drama.
This is the third book in the series. It was as good and as interesting g as the first two. I want to live there with all of them. Can't wait for book four.

The Dream by Maggie Miller
Compass Key #3
7h 20m narrated by Vivienne Leheny, Laura Jennings, Allyson Voller, Cindy Kay, Nancy Wu, Sara Morsey, Suzie Althens, 265 pages
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Clean Romance
Featuring: Quinquagenarians, Multiple POVs, Divorcees, Free Vacation Trope, Sorority Sisters, Florida Keys, Island Resort, Septuagenarian, Secrets, Drama, Cliffhangers
Rating as a movie: PG-13 for adult content and situations
My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️½💭🩴🐚
My thoughts: These books are pretty easy to read. The drama is a little overdone in this book especially since it has not even been a week yet. I wasn't happy about the multiple bombs in the storyline with no resolution, forced to read the next book. I'm not feeling the direction for Iris at all.
Recommend to others: Sure, once you start you have to finish since there is no ending in the books.

I'm truly enjoying every page of this series and this is only book three out of seven! As readers, we learn more about each of the five friends, their partners and their individual situations. Of course there is a surprise twist which makes me only want more. I love the writing, the characters and the locale. Now on to book four!!!

I am so hooked on this series. I'm waiting for the next three books to be delivered. These five friends continue to strengthen their friendship together as well as starting over again with men who are all living at the resort. Their problems are complex and relatable. I'm looking forward to book 4.

Love this series and the way these five college sorority sisters reconnect on the island, getting a second chance at friendships and life. It's a nice escape from my reality too. Ordering the rest of the books in the series asap!

I really like this series. It is easy reading and a really good chic lit beach read. Everything is here, the beach, luxury resort, reunion of 5 sorority sisters + house mother, romance, mystery, drama, laughs. A feel good book.

This series has definitely gotten better. It takes the reader away from ordinary life to a life on a luxurious, sunny island in the Florida keys. It's a dream come true for the ladies who have the opportunity to inherit the island and the amazing spa/resort.

I enjoyed the 3rd book within the series + been following along this path, so far. An easy read about the friendships of 5 women, held together by knowing an older woman, on a private island in the Keys. I'm onto the 4th book in the series.

Amazing books!!!!!!
I love these books so much that I am reading them so quickly and absorbing every word. I feel as though I am on the island with my friends. Being 87 years old, my heart is with Iris!!

Great series
Love the characters, all kinds of twists in each book. The cliff hangers make me need to continue reading! Couldn't put this down.

Great book
I can't write too much because I have to get the next book and find out what happens. I usually don't like cliff hangers but this series is great.
