The Beach Blueprint: Sweet Romance & Women's Friendship Fiction (Hilton Head Island) Paperback – May 11, 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
She is terribly lonely in Sweet Water Falls without Bea, Cass, and Lauren, and as another member of their monthly dinner party gets ready to leave Texas in the rear-view mirror, Joy starts creating her own blueprint.
After all, she doesn't want a Blueprint for Survival.
She wants a beach blueprint.
One that lays out how her life will look and feel, right down to the tiny nooks and crannies if she decides to uproot herself and leave her family and her heritage and join her friends on Hilton Head Island.
There is a strong influence in her life, pulling her toward the beach and island life: a sexy, strong landscaper named Scott Anderson. He's asked her out several times, but Joy has turned him down every time.
When she hears that he's going to take someone else to dinner, the thought flies against everything in Joy's baby beach blueprint - because Scott's a big player in that. So she texts him and makes it clear that she doesn't want him to go out with anyone...except her.
Thus, a long-distance relationship between Joy and Scott begins, and Joy's blueprint starts to get messy. Very messy.
Can she figure out how to arrange all of the pieces in her life in a way that makes sense? Or will she find herself cut off from everyone who's ever been important to her?

- Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2023I can't put these books down! The Beach Blueprint is my favorite so far. I love Joy & Scott!! Onto the next book.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2023Joy is a true Texan down to her toes. But when her girlfriends begin migrating to Hilton Head, SC for love and a new life, she feels left behind. It seems that people are always leaving her and her sense of self worth is suffering. When she first visits Bea and Cass at in their new lives, she is introduced to Scott. She finds him very attractive, but he doesn't pay much attention. During a later visit she learns that while he is smitten this time, he remembers nothing of meeting her before, which does nothing for her ego. He asks her out, she declines - several times. He decides to move on, then when she learns he has a date, she texts him saying she doesn't like that at all. That sets off a flurry of texts and calls over the next three months until she visits again. Sparks fly after that, although she's still hesitant to take the leap. The story is fairly predictable from there on and they do end up together. There are a few surprises along the way and of course the girlfriends all offer their two cents.
This series is about the deep friendships among women who have known one another for years. If they were a bit less sweet and a bit more spicy, I believe they would be much more believable. But overall, a quick and good read.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2023Great read. Have read the other books and preordered the next one. Can't wait for it and looking forward to more by this author!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2023Loved reading this book of romance! It had so much reality at falling in love and wanting to start over , but scared to take the leap at the same time.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2023As a planner, I could relate to Joy’s desire to have a clear blueprint for her life as she considered the possibility of leaving her kids and all that was familiar behind in order to join her friends in Hilton Head, SC. One important piece of the puzzle was her relationship with Scott whom she had been talking with daily online for months and where was that going? I really enjoyed watching Joy figure things out and decide just how much of a blueprint was necessary before she could take the leap and make a permanent move. My favorite parts of the book (and the series) concerned the relationships between the women in the supper club. Oh to have such a wonderful group of friends who have become chosen family! This author really knows how to bring a sense of family to life. I can’t wait for Bessie’s story in the next book (please hurry Elana). Highly recommend! I received an ARC and this voluntary review contains my honest opinions.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2023You want to grab your sunblock, coverup and beach towel and join these these ladies who are a little more seasoned, with grown kids and pain in their past, as they face life and new love head on. Their Supper Club is to die for but it’s their love and support through all that makes you want to pull up a chair. Joy’s previous marriage was worse than loveless and it’s taken a lot out of her, but Scott has caught her eye. The problem is the hunky landscaper lives 1200 miles away on Hilton Head island where many of her Supper Club friends have moved. For her to even think of moving is a giant step and she wants a plan in place. Scott has his own demons to face behind his ready smile and booming laugh. You’ll love joining this group of friends that is more than friends- they’re family.
Clean. I received it as an ARC
- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2024I just love the close friendship between these 6 women. Most of all so close, they want to move across the country to stay together. Love this series of books, and highly recommend.
