About this ebook

Set sail to new adventures and escapes with eight best-selling authors in the exciting new Sail Away series!

Single and over sixty...

Those are the only boxes Jennifer Golden needs to check to be eligible for a ticket on the Silver Sails cruise line. She's taken a few solo trips with women her age, and she knows how to pack what she needs for a 2-week vacation in a single carry-on.

She's never done a cruise quite this long or quite this nice, but with her daughter now moved out of the house she's been renting from Jennifer for a decade, a son who's stopped talking to her, and the man she's been dating now out of the picture, Jennifer needs a break from real life.

She flies across the country only to board a ship to sail back toward Five Island Cove. Robin doesn't understand what she's doing, but Jennifer has never gotten along all that well with her daughter. Maybe she was too controlling when Robin was a teenager. Maybe she treated her worse than her other children. She doesn't know, but she knows she needs to find a way to repair the relationship with her only child still in the cove.

She doesn't expect to see Blanche Gibb on the ship, and she's shocked her college roommate and friend is even on a singles cruise. She discovers Blanche is healing after the sudden death of her husband, and she's come on the trip with her brother, Mitchell.

Jennifer has met Mitchell before, but this time, there's sparks flying between the two of them, adding to the magic of the Panama sunshine, lapping waves, and endless drinks above the deck of Sweet Sea Dreams.

She feels like she's fallen into a dream, but she still has familial relationships to repair, a friendship to nurture with Blanche, and a heart to heal before it can learn to love again...all before the ship hits land again.

Join USA Today Bestselling and Top 50 Kindle Unlimited All-Star Author Jessie Newton as she weaves another tale of friendship, romance, sisterhood, and the power of female relationships in all their forms.

There's nothing I love more than women's fiction & clean romance and this book is both! This is the first book I've read by Jessie Newton but it definitely won't be my last! She has a way of writing that draws you in immediately so you feel like you are right there within the story. The characters are well rounded & relatable and the the story is realistic. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was a enjoyable, interesting, fun read. I enjoyed the characters and their stories. Everyone was very wealthy and everything very upscale with the women showing their insecurity and support of each other.

Like the cruise ship location for this story. Can add an unexpected twist to a story too. Like the characters and the fact that they are older. It's always fun when old friends reconnect after not seeing each other for so many years. Makes for interesting conversations. Good read.
