Choppy –
The interconnected stories were compelling and fun. Each sister was clearly an individual while each potential groom has his own distinct characteristics. The beauty of the islands was there, but I would have loved a little more detail about that beauty along with the people and the food.I think having the for books presented as a single volume was brilliant. Otherwise I might have left the series without reaching the end. I hope it you read it, you enjoy it as much as I did.

I love how Elana Johnson writes with her her heart as well as her head. This book is a weaving tale about four wonderful women and how their dreams come true. I gave this story 4 stars rather than 5 because I thought it was a bit too cutesy and there really wasn’t much depth to each part. I think there should be more of a difference in the way the stories progress. Thus said, I’m always going to be a fan of Elana Johnson and her love for GOD and people.

I loved each of these stories and don’t know that I have a favorite. Though they have similarites ,they are still different in their own way. The stories all pull you on and make you feel a part of things, and dream of such a life with a guy like the one in any of these stories! They leave you feel happy!
E. Fiscus –
4.5 out of 5 stars. I always enjoy reading what this athor writes! There were 4 stories within this book that followed 4 sisters and their journeys to love. They were clean contemporary romance. I would have given a full 5 stars if multiple sisters didn’t end up having basically the same setting with their plot.

So good

Fun Story!
Mason and Ivy are going to an island for 3 months. He has made provisions for everything except the storm/hurricane that comes through. They go home early because of it and then have to decide if they made their love connection. Like all good romance stories, we know that they did. A good story, I loved it.

Another great book by Elena Johnson!!
What a fun second chance romance! I loved Eden and Holden’s story! People react to grief in many different ways. Five years ago, Holden found out his mother was dying and he felt it necessary to break up with Eden to prevent himself from further hurting the love of his life during his trying period. But he never got over her. Eden’s heart shattered the day Holden broke up with her, and while they’re stranded up in the mountains together, she realized she’s still been trying to pick up the pieces all these years and that Holden still owns some of them. She’s been trying to move on lately, but nothing ever seems to stick… maybe it’s for a reason, ’cause she’s been looking in the wrong direction. This book was wonderful! A short two hour read was just what I needed to help brighten my day. This book is 100% clean: no swearing and no sex.

Cute story
Creative idea to get them to the island together. Sweet romance as they work through their trials.
Sue Grosz –
No Resources Available
Justin and Iris were set up as buddies during the cruise orientation. Shortly after departure the ship started rolling and the emergency evacuation message was called and all passengers were to report to the life boat stations. Once in the life boat Justin started paddling as fast as he could to get them away from the whales that were attacking the ship. Spotting a small deserted island they set up camp and wait for rescue. With no rescue in site they try to head back towards Maui. Interesting relationship and use of resources.

Maine and Orchid’s love story
This is a fun read, could even be a 2nd Chance at love, story.It’s a bit far fetched as to how they were stranded. But it is a story right. I wonder what happened to the captain???Anyway, I think you will enjoy an afternoon of getting away from your real world and step into this one with Maine and Orchid along with some other characters Tanner for one, and you will remember some others from past stories in the series.As always with Elena, Romance without worry.

I want Justin on my next cruise
OMG! Just finished this book. ???????????? I have cruised the pacific multiple times and could totally see this. Justin and Iris are perfect for each other despite their differences. Justin is a retired Navy SEAL and Iris owns her own landscaping company. Both are forced to take a cruise to see whales and the Pacific. The ship requires the buddy system and they are buddied by default. Any more would be a spoiler and this book is just too good for that. Another great story by this author! I received this book as an arc and I am voluntarily writing this review.

A quick read with a happy ending!
I really liked Orchid and Maine’s love story! To be stranded on an island would be a terrible thing, but they were lucky enough to be stranded on an old World War II outpost with a leftover tree house, wild chickens, plenty of fruit and but trees and and unruly garden. Maine and Orchid find the person they are deep down inside and that person is who the other falls in love with. Love it! This is a 100% clean romance: no swearing and no sex.

Rescue in Hawaii
This book reminded me of an earlier book in the series where the character goes hiking and is injured. Holden and Eden had dated previously and he had broken up with her about 5 years ago when his mom was dying. Holden is secretly the owner of the Explore Getaway Bay. He also works as a programmer. Eden also works for the company as a tour guide. Eden is hiking in the mountains when a storm hit and she gets caught up in a landslide. Coincidentally, Holden is also hiking and falls and thinks his leg is broken. They both wind up in a cave injured and she primarily takes care of him with her previous nurse’s training and her self-made backpack of survival items, which she has tried to sell to several billionaires. Eden does call her sister and tell them they need to be rescued. Eden saves the day when she drains the infection out of his leg and they hike upwards to find fruit trees and a spring. Are they able to get by their feelings from the breakup and makeup? Is Eden able to finally sell her survival pack? I received a ARC of this book and I am giving an honest reply.

Great story!
I really enjoyed this book. I love all the Getaway Bay books and how they are interrelated. It is like revisiting with both old and new friends. Great story!

Love island
This story is about a 2 week Hawaiian cruise, a handsome, smart ex-Navy Seal wanting to meet someone to settle down with, and a woman that owned her own successful landscaping company in need of a vacation and someone to date to make her life seem whole. The cruise required that each passenger be responsible for one person, and those two just happened to be matched to be buddies. What could go wrong? This story is another Getaway Bay story with characters from the previous books. Just like taking a vacation to visit friends. It has all the elements to make it entertaining while you have to keep rooting for this new love. It gives you a great story without failing to give you that happy ever after that you want in a story.

Sweet Romance
Fun second chance romance. I was skeptical of the title thinking how could they get stranded on an inhabited island. But, the author pulled it off. It was believable and riveting.

Stranded on an Island with the SEAL is best of a bad situation
Loved this story as two unlikely people are thrown together and stranded on an island. The dynamic of her twin sister on an dating app who has been previously trading messages with the Justin was an interesting dynamic. Love all of Elana’s books.

Stranded on a deserted island!!
I LOVE Iris and Justin, they are so opposite, and soo much fun. I just think this is a GREAT book!! I love all of this author’s writing, but this is one of my favorites, I mean maybe an attack by a pod of killer whales is a bit far fetched, but hey this is fiction and I just loved this!! Clean and no cliff hangers, I say you cannot go wrong with this one!!

Thankful
I really enjoy your books. I’ve read three now, I think. I’m not into constant “angst” but real communication instead, so your books are the best. Thanks for writing them!

Stranded with the Cowboy Billionaire

Great book!
I loved this book. The characters were real, they weren’t perfect people. They all had their own faults which enhanced their story. I look forward to seeing more about Maine, Orchid and Tesla in future books.
BookloverK –
What a trip!
This story has adventure and still the love story shines. Justin has doubts about his reaction to leave the cruise ship. Iris needs to be honest about her feelings. Read and find the answers.
TJW –
Loved it!!!!!
Iris and Justin get stranded on a deserted island. He was so bossy, so gruff. She wasn’t sure about him but he did save her life when the captain ordered all the passengers to the life boats, or so she thought. Their adventures make for a great story but the real story comes after their rescue. I truly loved this book.
Diane –
Another great Stranded in Paradise story!
When the alarms sound on the boat and the announcement is made to go to the lifeboats and evacuate Justin’s Navy SEAL training takes over. He knows the pretty blonde, Iris, is just across the hall from him and knocks on her door to make sure she is coming. Taking charge of the situation, he gets them to a lifeboat and away from the sinking boat. But where are the other survivors? And how did they end up on a remote island alone? Don’t miss this great short-read from Elana Johnson!

Survivor skills
Iris and Justin are on a cruise around Hawaii. Both were there because of their jobs. They believed the cruise ship was sinking and abandoned ship in a life boat. They made it to a deserted island where they lived on fruit. They decided they weren’t going to be rescued after a week on the island. What happens when they get back in the boat? Do they make it back to civilization? Do they develop a relationship? I received an ARC of this book and I am giving an honest review.

Can love change Mason
Stranded With The Cowboy Billionaire is a visit back to Getaway Bay. This time Ivy answers an on line ad she hears everyone talking about where a cowboy billionaire wants to take a woman to his little deserted island and live for 3 months to see if they can survive and might fall in love. He only received one request and that was from Ivy. Of course the McLaughlin sisters luck with their dating starts out terrifying. Ivy and Mason’s adventure is no different. If they can survive what mother nature throws their way, they might end up in love. Ivy is not the first sister to have to be rescued. But it makes the story so much more interesting. A great story that follows up with news from the other 3 sister’s lives. I highly recommend this series.
Kindle Customer –
A fun book
Good writing and editing. Great characters. Fun storyline. Fast read. Beautiful setting. Clean. Ended a little too fast but HEA it’s always acceptable.
Jan Niblock –
These 4 stories about the McLaughlin sisters were fun to read. Who would have thought that all four sisters happened to meet their future husbands by being stranded with them? But that is what happened and it was fun to read about each of their adventures. For those of you who remember the TV show Gilligan’s Island, two of the stories had that vibe which I loved about them.THE PERFECT STORMI loved this story mainly because it was so unusual. To have 2 people who end up being trapped on a mountain be ex-boyfriend and girlfriend was new and different. Eden is one very capable woman and a true survivor. Holden is someone who prefers to be out of the limelight. He had a lot of issues that he had to recover from and now seeing Eden again, he needs to convince her that he is not the same man who broke her heart. It was really a fun story to read.THE OVERBOARD MISTAKEIris going on this cruise was her first mistake and meeting Justin, the Navy SEAL, was her second. They were going on a simple cruise around the Hawaiian Islands, what could do wrong? A pod of killer orcas is what and Justin convinced that the ship is sinking.This story was full of adventure and how to survive without anything but what Iris’s sister had packed in the emergency kit. You get to see how Justin and Iris manage to survive on a deserted island with only Justin’s SEAL experience.THE CRUISING FIASCOOrchid certainly did not want to go on a cruise, especially a singles cruise. But she found herself there and decided to make the best of it. Maine, a professional footballer, wants to get away from the limelight and have a real relationship. Their meeting started off on the wrong foot but when they found themselves and a ship’s steward trapped on a desert island it got better. But can Iris come to terms with the person Maine has to be when they are both back in Hawaii?THE SAND BAR MISSTEPThis one was fun because Ivy and Mason were not in the same predicament that her sisters were in when they were stranded. Ivy is one woman who knows how to get things done. She is not shy and does not have the same problems dealing with men as her sisters. Mason does have a lot of baggage and a hard time expressing his thoughts and feelings. It is fun to read how these two overcome their major differences and communicate. If I say any more than it would give you spoilers, you will have to read it for yourself.

Overboard
Love that Justin takes his job as buddy seriously. He grabs Iris and jumps in the life boat to save her, but apparently, he is a little over zealous! When they get back to the main land, they have to overcome obstacles to continue their relationship.
Kylene Roberts –
A very, very good read
Preconceived notions were thrown in the garbage in this book. Can’t have a relationship cause to much danger or I am married to my job were worthless in this situation and just the right climate was brought about to change all that. Excellent.

Finding a new love
When your boss gives you a paid 2 week cruise that turned out to be a singles cruise what do you do? Her sisters think this would be a good way to meet some new people since Orchid has not dated since she lost her husband at sea 8 years ago. Now once on the cruise, she meets quarterback Maine and they start spending time together on the ship. But when news that a tsunami is about to hit the boat, Maine must make sure Orchid gets to safety as she starts to melt down. From this their lives just keep getting worse. This is a very entertaining book that will certainly keep you guessing the outcome. It should be on your to be read list.

A wonderful love story of Ivy and Mason. Mason ,a cowboy sold his ranch and moved to Getaway Bay and bought a private island.

Believe in me
A story set in the beautiful scenery of Hawaii. It is a second chance romance that started while the two were stranded after a mountain slide. The story revolves around Eden’s survival items she had made herself and used while Holden and her were injured and trapped on the mountain. She had met with so many billionaires asking for them to help her make her items for sale, and each had turned her down. It took having to put those gadgets to use for two days waiting for someone to finally rescue them for Holden, the billionaire hidden owner of Explore Getaway Bay, the company she was a tour guide for, to want to back her gadgets and try to win her heart back again. This story is full of suspense, excitement and love. A great read!

Great story
Orchid and Maine aren’t fond of each other until their ship sounds the alarm that they are sinking. Maine gets her and they get off. They find an island that was used during the war so still has some resources they can use. A fun story to imagine what one would do in the same situation.

Sweet read, part of a series but can be a stand alone book
While the premise was much the same as the two previous books in this series the story of Mason and Ivy just seems sweeter. A man with more money than he knows what to do with and a woman who works hard for what she has. Mason’s odd idea about 3 months on an island and the way only Ivy gets through are both things that make you wonder. Their story is sweet and a good, fun, clean read.

Island romance and intrigue

Stranded With A Seal
Justin were on a cruise ship the first time they met. A pod of killer whales started tossing the ship around. Justin heard the captain call for them to abandon ship. Justin was a retired Navy seal. He pulled Iris into a life boat. When morning arrived they were alone and the ship was gone. Justin found an deserted island. They stayed on the island for a few days. I don’t want to ruin the book for anyone so I advise you to read the book. I received an ARC of this book. I read it and left my honest review.

Strong Female Lead and Handsome Navy SEAL…
I loved this book- Iris and Justin were forced to work together to survive and both characters grew throughout the story. If you are going to be stranded on a remote island who better to have with you than a Navy SEAL. However, despite the stereotype of a Navy SEAL taking charge, Iris held her own and showed her own strength. Highly recommend this whole series!

Second Chance Story
Eden and Holden had dated 5 years before but Holden broke it off because he was dealing with his mother’s death and other family things. This second chance romance is set in Hawaii and Holden is a secret billionaire mostly because of the inheritance from his mother’s death. Both Eden and Holden have never forgotten each other. Eden goes for a hike and takes a backpack with her inventions for survival which comes in handy when she gets caught unexpectedly by a storm. Holden was caught unprepared when he went hiking on the same trail. They both find themselves in a cave trying to get out of the rain. Holden’s leg is injured and begins to get infected. With the items and medicine that Eden has, she gets Holden’s leg better. They are in need of food and water and have to rely on each other to survive. Holden doesn’t tell Eden that he’s the billionaire owner of the company that she works for. That withheld information hurts Eden again and when they are rescued, she pulls away from him. He doesn’t want to give her up again and works to win her back. Will it be enough and in time? I enjoyed this clean romance book. I received an advanced copy to read and am leaving my honest review.

Favorite author!
Elana Johnson is probably my favorite author! I love how real her characters are with all their fears and insecurities. Maine and Orchid are perfect examples. They struggle to show who they really are and to allow someone to get to know them even though they want someone special in their lives. When they’re rescued, they slip back into who they were before being stranded, but it doesn’t work for either of them. Their lives were changed on that island and being alone just won’t work any more!
April Hogue –
Loved it!!
I loved Iris and Justin’s story! (Iris is the sister to Eden, the female MC from the first “Stranded in Paradise” book.) It was so much fun to read and only took a couple hours to finish. It was fun to see how they survived on the deserted island and how they both never wanted to eat fruit again for the rest of their lives. Lol! I also really liked that it was Iris, not Justin, who made the first move after they got home and practically chased him down. Elena Johnson certainly has a way with words ans sucked me in from the first page, just like her “Forbidden Lake” series. This book is 100% clean: no swearing and no sex.

Survival or love? Maybe both…..
When you think your cruise ship is going down, you are thankful your assigned safety buddy is a retired Navy SEAL. Justin and Iris are uniquely stranded and hoping for survival. They each bring talents, preparations and skills to work together as they wait for rescue. With few distractions, the two have the great opportunity to get to know each and see the sparks fly. Great characters and fun little twist too.

Maine and Orchid don’t seem like a perfect match. Orchid’s a single mother who thinks of her daughter first. Maine is a professional athlete who loves the game but is beginning to wonder what happens after his time in the game is over? The single cruise may not be their first choice for a vacation but it turns out to be the right one. After a storm they wind up stranded with a crew member on an island and have to learn to work together, to trust each other and themselves. They both have to be strong and look within themselves. The time together fuels the attraction they have for each other and they start to depend on each other. While scary it shows them what they both have been denying, that they are ready to let someone into their life. Orchid has to be careful because of her child and Maine wants to protect them from his life of fame. This story, while similar to others in the series, is full of self revelation and vulnerabilities. Fun, clean read that I highly recommend.

Lonely man, stranded with lonely lady looking for lasting relationship.
I love this series. This is the third book and the premise is different. Ivy is feeling out of sorts and wants someone she can trust in her life. She spots an online ad for a woman to join a man for 3 months on an island. He will provide everything needed with the hope that they can build a romantic relationship. Hmmm. Ivy is tight with her family and promises to stay in touch by cellphone. What could go wrong? Right! This was a great read and I am hoping that this series continues for a long time!. I received this book as an arc and I am voluntarily writing ✍???? this review.

Stranded with a Seal
Another great story from this author! It starts and ends in Getaway Bay, but the rest of the story takes place on board a cruise ship, a rowboat, and a small island. I received an ARC, and am voluntarily reviewing this book. I enjoyed it very much!

Outstanding
I loved this book! Imagine accidentally running into an ex while hiking and getting stranded together for days. Some things are meant to be as is in this story.

Where we belong
I loved how getting stranded brought out the best in Ivy and Mason. Ivy found she was stronger than she thought and Mason found out he didn’t want to be alone. That he knew where he belonged now.

Loved this series
I don’t think Elana Johnson could write a book I didn’t love. Her characters are always perfect, the editing is good, and the storylines are always great. I’m sure I’ll read every book she writes. This book was my favorite.

Justin and Iris, Seal the deal
4 1/2 stars was my first thought, but there are no 1/2 stars and I’m not dropping it to a 4.This is a cute story, stranded with a seal could be any woman’s fantasy.Cruising, Hawaii, Strong Handsome retired Seal, what could go wrong?A few things, but you will read it and find out. Some things seemed a bit far fetched, but hey, it’s a fantasy right.A couple of “thoughts” that came to Justin never were answered. Those kind of things drive me crazy when reading a story. It is like, now I need to know why he thought them and it’s a story so it’s not like I can just ask lol.Nevertheless, as always with this author, she writes sweet, safe romance that you can enjoy reading without worry. So read it and enjoy your time away from reality.

Good clean fun
Mason is lonely, Ivy is ready for changes in her life. She answers an ad to go live with Mason on a deserted island for three months, what could possibly go wrong? HA this was a wonderful story, I love both main characters so much. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a good clean romance with no cliff hangers. This is a really fun series, you can read them alone, but the all the sister’s have their own book and they are all FAB!!

Fun getting to know this couple
Iris and Justin are both on a cruise for different reasons. Through a series of circumstances they end up on a deserted island. It is quite entertaining seeing how they help each other during their time there. I really enjoyed the story.

3 months on an island alone, what could go wrong? Fun, engaging and entertaining.
He thinks a three month retreat to a secluded, private island to see if two people (him and a woman he’s never really spent time with) are compatible is a great idea. Just them alone.She needs to just to get away for a while after a heartbreaking break up when she expected a proposal. Her email is sent off. She is selected and agrees. What could it hurt? What could go wrong? She at least gets a break from her current life and it might work. If not, well she still gets her break from her life that now seems so sad, pointless and just plain bad.Mix in one unexpected severe storm that cripples their yacht, takes out their radio, and ruins their cell phones. The relaxing get to know you time turns anything but relaxing. Can they work through their issues and learn to care about and support each other? Can they learn to get along?This is a fun and entertaining story filled with twists turns and surprises. A thoroughly enjoyable read. Love the characters. I could really relate to their issues and struggles.

Another fun book in the series
It wasn’t a three hour cruise but they still ended up on an island. I’ve never wanted to be strandedon an island but with a cutie like Maine I might try it. If you want a fun book with adventure andromance you’ll enjoy this book as well as the rest of the series.

awesome
Another great stranded town. Love that Iris was strong enough to help the seal along the way. Glad Justin came to his senses

Sweet stranded in paradise romance
This is a sweet romance with a HEA. When a cruise goes horribly wrong Maine and Orchid find themselves on a remote island with one of the cruise security guards and no rescue in site. They must rely on each other for survival and a budding romance starts, but will it continue when they get home? Will Maine’s superstar status get in the way?

Great addition to the series
A planned vacation turns into a nightmare. Server trouble, storm, injuries, family members, all of these contribute. Always written with humor, clean romance, and with something new that I didn’t know before. Mason and Ivy and their interaction make for a good read.

Charming and sweet story

Stranded with the Cowboy
Ivy answered a ad from a cowboy billionaire looking for a women to spend 3 months on a island with him. Ivy figured why not. Mason was looking for someone. Someone to love. Great story in the series. A little different twist.

Entertaining short romance story
A cute fun short romance story. This well written entertaining stoyline had me engaged throughout. The interesting characters had good chemistry struggling with both having bad relationships jading them but determined to not be alone. The drama, struggles, and character interaction made for a great story as they truly are left to get to k ow one another accepting without change. I voluntarily reviewed this must read ARC romance with a great ending and enjoyable characters from previous stories in this standalone series.

DELIGHTFUL
Mason and Ivy, 3 months stranded, she is beautiful and he is handsome. No interference only time to get to know one another, and themselves. A delightful story and good series. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Not LOVE at first sight!
Orchid and Maine are so cute, I love the way they met and it started, all the way to end. This is a cute and fun romance that is clean and no cliff hangers! I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a quick read and doesn’t like all the swearing and scandalous parts. One reader said it was too similar to the first in this series, I disagree, I LOVE them both and recommend them all. E,J. is a fun writer who writes her stories with a lot of twist and differences. I love Orchid and Maine’s story and will for sure read it again

Cruising in Hawaii.
This was another Hawaiian cruise story. This one features a partially deaf quarterback and a single mom forced onto a cruise. While the storyline is similar to the previous book I still enjoyed reading this book. I received this book as an arc and I am voluntarily writing ✍???? this review.

Jason’s Challenge
All of her sisters were either married or getting married . Ivy had just broken up with her boyfriend and looking forward to new beginnings. Heading about a new adventure she makes accepts the challenge to spend 3 months on an island to see if she and her host could develop a relationship during that time. Mason was looking for something different. Bringing a girl to his island offered new a relationship. What he didn’t plan for was being stranded with no communication system after a week due to a storm. Intriguing.

Jumping overboard
A good clean story of Iris MacLaughlin ,a landscape owner and business owner, and Justin, a retired Navy Seal. They both landed on the same cruise but didn’t know each other. They got paired together after they went aboard. This is a cute story and I highly recommend reading this book. I received an ARC of this book.

Sweet read
Sweet story of two people who get stranded together and of course fall for each other while they are trying to survive. Big tough Navy Seal gets his feelings hurt when Iris says things without thinking and they have to work through the complications. Sweet story that I enjoyed. Story is part of Getaway Bay stories, but stands in its own.
