Description

Bessie Clifton adores baking. With her daughter Wynona by her side, she's turned her passion for the perfect loaf of bread into a dream for a bakery. They move to Hilton Head Island and work to get their shop open with the help of Bessie's five best friends. It's not just a relocation. It's a reinvention. Bessie's life has been all about kneading dough, raising her daughter, and supporting her Supper Club ladies, but she's never felt truly loved or appreciated for her gifts. As she settles into island life, she's determined to make the most of this opportunity and discover what she's been missing. Enter Oliver Blackhurst, the grumpy owner of The Mad Mango smoothie shop. Bessie's sunshine and warmth seem to clash with his prickly exterior. But when they get paired up to participate in the Island Heritage Festival, Bessie and Oliver find that their contrasting flavors create an irresistible chemistry. As Bessie's bakery becomes the talk of the town, Oliver's walls begin to crumble, revealing a man who's experienced his share of heartache. Bessie wonders if her reinvention could provide the tropical ticket to true love with the island's most enigmatic bachelor.

  • The supper club is thriving on Hilton head

    Another great love story for the Supper Club ladies. Bessie and Oliver's story is very sweet. I loved that they both had vulnerable moments and needed each other to give them strength and encouragement. I enjoyed catching up on the lives of the other ladies of the supper club. I didn't think I would enjoy reading about middle years love stories, but the books in this series have changed my mind. I am especially thankful to the author for keeping her books clean and still having the sweet kisses and tender romance. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

    This is Bessie's story, she and her daughter move to Hilton Head to start a bakery, Bessie is a lovely character who feels overlooked. Enter Oliver, he doesn't over look her, he drives her insane. They are have to work on a project together, sparks fly. This is one of my favorite pairings in this series, which is a GREAT over 50 series. Can these two overcome their differences and find true love? I love the friendhip relationships in this series, it is so heartwarming, you cannot go wrong if your're looking for a clean read that any age can enjoy.

    I’m really enjoying this women’s fiction romance series. The strong core group of friends is good to see. These are all later in age, another chance for love romances. It’s been fun getting to know the coastal beachy town and escape my landlocked residence. Two business owners, one grumpy and the other sunshine. It was a lovely read. 

  • The Best Characters

    Elana Johnson creates the best characters, and Bessie and Oliver do not disappoint! Oliver’s a little bit grumpy and Bessie’s always felt a little bit invisible. As they begin to spend time together, they compliment each other in ways that brings out the best in both of them. Dreams come true on Hilton Head Island for these two as they both deal with their pasts with the help of each other and Bessie’s wonderful group of Supper Club friends. I received this book as an ARC reader and this is my honest opinion.

    Another fantastic read. To be honest I usually don’t like stories about older couples, but this whole series has changed my mind drastically. Oliver and Bessie both have come out of hurtful situations that really shaped who they had become. It was so much fun reading about how they started bringing about changes in each other. I have read each book in this series and love how the author brings all the characters together in each one. Read this series in order and you will be glad you did. I was blessed to be able to read this book early and you will be blessed too.

  • Love these friends!

    Bessie’s turn for new love. After a rough meeting, Bessie and Ollie finally move past the first impressions. After a few ups and downs, they are able to work through their issues and build their relationship. I really like this group of friends and enjoy getting to know them better with each story.
