Great Read

Island Hopping: The Escape Series, Book Three was another great read by Ann Omasta. Lizzie never meant to steal her best friends fiance. Now Lizzie is desperate to make amends with Roxy and her family. Lizzie follows the family to an island to help plan Roxy's sister's wedding and make sure it doesn't ebd ub dusaster. Shay is an island local who helps her save the wedding from disasters. This was another great read and I can't wait to read more by the author.

A great ending to this series

Ann Omasta really builds wonderfully flawed characters. I'm going to miss them all. And I couldn't hope for a better ending. Well done.

Enjoyable

Good characters , some unlikely matches, stealing one’s boyfriend. Then you have some lovable zany grandmothers In this a wedding to go without any problems. These are a lot of fun to listen and enjoy. Give ARC audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Fun story

Enjoyed this fun story narrated by the author. She does a great job with the performance. I’m looking forward to listening/reading the rest is the series.

Reality Wedding Woes

Things come full circle in this third story of Omasta's Escape Series as Lizzie, the best friend for whom Roxy's fiance left her at the altar via text message steps in to save Ruthie's reality TV wedding. This one's funny, sweet, romantic and a little sexy. It kept me laughing and longing for an island vacation with a hunky beach bum.

Just plain fun

I always love it when the author is the narrator. Then you know that the names are being said correctly and that the emphasis on certain things is exactly with the author had intended. She does an excellent job of bringing to life Lizzie in all of her tense, stressed, and overworked glory. This makes her a believable and relatable character for all of us that take life entirely too seriously and forget about the joy in the everyday. I felt that it was obvious how the book would end, but it was a fun listen and perfect for a rainy day.

Bottom line: Not a waste of time and definitely worth listening more than once.

Absolutely adorable!

Very sweet romantic comedy that I truly enjoyed listening to. I'm so happy I gave it a try.

Reality Wedding in all it's glory

Island Hopping by Ann Omasta

This book is the last book in the Escape Series. It is written about the “best friend” who ruins the wedding in book one of the series. She is now ostracized by her “family of choice.”

As her best friend’s sister is getting married on a reality wedding show, she is asked by the producers to come and be the “fixer”. She is hoping to use this to get back in good graces with the family. She is a true problem solver and Shay, the local outdoor sports vendor for the resort. Shay becomes her problem solver and steps in to help all through the book.

Lizzie is drawn to Shay, but he is just a menial resort worker. It seems that he is good enough for a vacation fling, but not for life.

This is a funny romp through trials and tribulations that abound with the wedding. Weather, flowers, a dress that’s too small, and the crazy grandmothers! Plus, it is happily-ever-after!

I received a free Audible copy of this book, at my request, in exchange for a honest review.

An easy listen.

An easy to listen to audio in a lovely setting and a few hitches too.

Fantastic

This was just fantastic the grandmothers stole the show for me, they had me laughing the whole time. But there was also a strong main story that was well planned and full of drama and suspense. This has been a fantastic series by a fantastic author.

Lizzie's story!

I can always count on Ann Omasta to take me away and entertain me. This series is fun and flirty and brings us Lizzie's story. After the first book, and how things went down with her best friend Roxy, I am glad to see how things played out. The producers from the reality show have asked Lizzie to come and help with Roxy's sister's wedding, and Lizzie sees this as a chance fro redemption. After the fiasco that broke ties with her best friend, she has missed that feeling of family. She is consumed with work, and now on the island is doing her best to pull off the best wedding possible. But things are not always easy, and the show is definitely making the job a lot harder than necessary. With no reservation, Lizzie is taken in by a worker, Shay and while there are sparks, he is not ambitious enough to have for the long term. So why not a fling? There is so much going on in this one, full of funny lines, bantering grandmothers, compromising weather and a budding relationship that is fun and flirty. I loved coming back to all of these characters and seeing just how reality can be interpreted! Ann Omasta narrates her story, with fantastic voices and that spark of fun! I was totally immersed in this, had some chuckles and fell in love with Shay and Lizzie!
