Description

Sage Grady is a master of transformation. She's a seasoned hairstylist who's perfected the art of change, one cut and color at a time. Yet, her own life has started to feel somewhat monotonous, almost like she's stuck in someone else's style–and she needs to shake things up. It's not a mid-life crisis. It's a new way of thinking, of living. With her sister and her Supper Club friends at her side, Sage decides to return to her roots: Texas. No, she's not moving back there. But she wants the vibrancy and adventure each new day can bring that she had when owned a hobby farm in the Coastal Bend. Sage just needs to find the right patch of land on Hilton Head Island to build her new waterfront way of life. So she needs Tyler Parker, the man she's had exactly one date with, months ago. Ty's a real estate mogul who knows the value of every inch of Hilton Head Island, where every for-sale piece of property is, and exactly how to make Sage's dreams come true. Her real estate dreams. He's made a fortune flipping properties and developing luxury resorts. Yet beneath his polished exterior is a man who's been burned by love, and he's built walls higher than any of his skyscrapers. As Sage snips, styles, and sashays her way into Ty's heart, she discovers that her way of life isn't the only transformation happening. Can Sage and Ty navigate their contrasting worlds to create a happily-ever-after? Will they find that the path to true love doesn't always follow the path most trod, but might just be discovered through...the waterfront way?

  • So good

    I have read just about every book this author has published and her books keep getting better and better. In this story about Ty and Sage’s love story I actually felt like I was there in the story with them and the Supper Club gang. It was so touching and real. Elana Johnson has a way of bringing reality to her character and I am going to miss being among all the ladies and gents from the Supper Club and staying updated on their lives. No matter what name this author uses she brings family to life and brings each one to the forefront. You cannot go wrong reading her books.

  • A Sweet story of friendship and romance

    I got this as an ARC, but the opinions are my own. A sweet story of friendship and a little romance, as well as the support a good group of friends can give. Halfway thorugh the book I couldn’t help thinking “Man! I wish I had a great group of friends like that!!!” It ended kind of fast but told a great story of uncertainty, friendship and trust. Can’t wait to read the next one!

  • A fantastic ending to a heart-warming series.

    Last but certainly not least! Sage finds her waterfront way to her happily ever after in this final installment to Elana Johnson’s popular Hilton Head Island Series. Along with all the Supper Club Ladies we’ve come to know and love, it’s Sage’s turn to leave her bid her Sweet Water Falls, Texas, past behind and embrace her Coastal Carolina future. And, Ty is just the right man to bring her all the love and romance she never knew she was missing. Elana Johnson has created such a wonderful community of friends that will make you want to join them for supper as they continue to do life together. A fantastic ending to a heart-warming series. Hopefully, these ladies and their guys will show up as guests in one of Johnson’s future series!I received this book as and ARC reader and am honored to leave my voluntary, honest review.

    Sage and Ty had a bad first date, months later Ty sees Sage and wants to start over. They start out as friends, then their relationship develops into love. Sage has the support of a wonderful group of ladies known as The Supper Club. I enjoyed reading stories of women who support each other. I had an ARC book from the author and this is my voluntary review.

  • Great read!

    This is the first book of this series that I have read, and now I will have to go back and read the stories of all the other ladies of the Supper Club! Sage is the type of woman that I think many women are in a similar situation (a previous loveless marriage); cautious, hesitant, and not ready to commit. Ty wins her over with his patience and yet, his belief that his happily ever after is within reach. This story felt like I was reading about one of my friends and I could hardly wait to get to the end to make sure Sage and Ty ended happily, all the while counting on the fact that it would. A well-written story about a middle-aged couple. Elana Johnson never disappoints. I received this as an ARC and these are my opinions.

    Sage is bored with her life and is ready to go on some grand adventures. The only problem is she needs someone to share them with. Handsome and charming Tyler Parker has had incredible success in his real estate business but feels like a failure in love. His last romance ended with a flop and now he is more cautious with his heart as he pursues a relationship with beautiful Sage Grady. He wants more than a plus one; he is seeking someone to love and fully share his life with. I loved watching both characters as they struggled to grow both individually and together. Tyler was a catch and I was so worried that Sage was going to miss out. This book is the finale of a wonderful series that I thoroughly enjoyed and hate to see end. It is possible to enjoy this book even if you have not read the others but i highly recommend you start at the beginning for maximum pleasure. If you like books that have characters overcoming real life problems with the love and support of genuine friends and that have swoon-worthy but clean romances (amazing kissing scenes) between characters that have issues to work through on the way to true love, then this book (and this series) is for you. Highly recommend! I received an ARC from the author and this voluntary review contains my honest opinions.

    Entertaining beach romance filled with kisses and catching up with friends. A little heart wrenching, and a lot heartwarming. Excellent read.

    From the first book in the series, The Love List, I have have loved getting to know these precious friends! Though I am sad to know this is the last book in the series, I loved this story for Sage and Ty. Sage has had a front row seat to the rest of the group finding someone and falling in love, but her past has convinced her that it probably won’t happen for her. This is a captivating story of 2 people working through their baggage and coming together for a HEA. Love these Supper Club friends (and all their men too)!!!

  • Highly recommend

    After many years in a loveless marriage, Sage tries to figure out what real love feels like. I anxiously waited to read Sage’s story and was not disappointed. It took a slow growing romance between Sage and Ty. Excellent!!! I highly recommend.
