Sailing Away Plans (Love Plans, #1) (2024)

Sailing Away Plans is a standalone read with a happy ending. It is sexy if that is an issue for you. Dr. Steve Winston is a widower with 3 grown children. His wife passed away after being sick a long time. He owns his own practice, a beautiful home with one dog and 2 cats but something is missing from his life. He is lonely and bored. He does travel to St. John's island in the Caribbean. He has decided to turn his practice over to his colleagues and move to the island where they need a doctor.

He has bought a yacht to use as his home. It is a long way from Ohio but it suits his needs. Not everyone is happy about his decision to up and move. His three spoiled children are throwing a fit, his staff is disappointed and don't want him to go.

This is a new adventure for the doctor. There are a lot of people to try to keep happy - none that really have his happiness considered. It is a fun and exciting plan. I found it to be entertaining as well as informative. Things just might be looking up for the good doctor. I definitely recommend it.

I was not paid for this review. I am not a writer nor do I know one. I am not kin to this author. I am a reader and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 1/9/2021.

Love the premise of this series - 95 year old George Winston, the family patriarch birthdays wishes and game called PLANS. I want you, kids, to have a goal and succeed in life. You need to have PLANS. Pull a card and show us what your plans are to reach your dreams. Oldest grandson Dr. Steve Winston, pulled Sailing Plans. Mona Risk's Sailing Away Plans is the first story in this unique series. A well crafted romance, with authentic characters (Steve and Lillian), nice plot twists, and a believable resolution. The premise has me thinking what fun could I create - what plans? Lillian's payment plan had me chuckling. Steve's daughter in law Cybil infuriated me. The audacity of THAT spoiled woman. Steve's spoiled privileged kids - WOW! don't get this mama started. A page turning end of summer read romance that smolders.

Sailing Away Plans is a sexy, older couple romance. I liked Lillian and Steve. They are good together. Funny how the kids refuse to come home to visit - until Dad decides to live his own life. Convinced their father is having a midlife crisis and determined to change his mind, Steve's children rush home. This results in some amusing dialog. This is a well told novella that will keep you reading to see how Ms. Risk brings things to a very satisfactory conclusion.

Awesome book
