About this ebook

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.

Will Bessie's journey to self-discovery lead her to the love she's always craved? Can Oliver let go of his past and embrace the warmth that Bessie brings to his life?

Savor the sweetness of new beginnings and the spice of unexpected romance in The Tropical Ticket by USA Today bestselling author Elana Johnson!

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 spend time together, they complement each other bringing out the best in them both. 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 voluntary review.

Oliver is complicated, until you see that's he's been hurt and is scared of being hurt again. He'd be perfect for a woman that was more outspoken, but surely not for Bessie... Except that Bessie is stepping up to call him out on his behavior, or replying to his snarky comments with snarky comments of her own... and really enjoying the time she spends with him. The two complement each other so well. They make each other stronger and grow beyond their comfort zones.

Can two people deeply set in their ways learn compromise together? I feel like that’s the most important lesson I’m going to come away from this book with: learning, especially learning how to get along with other people, never stops no matter what age you get to be. Oliver and Bessie have largely rubbed each other the wrong way from the very first moment they met. I loved watching them get to know each other and lower their defenses. Of course, there were still misunderstandings and stumbles
