“Hazel Taylor has hit it out of the park with this series. I could not stop reading and I am planning on going back again and reading them all from the start." Megan Z.


BOX SET: Includes all four books in the "Island Series".


Anna Maria Island was always Morgan’s favorite place in the world. Her grandmother’s home on the beautiful beaches of the Gulf Coast of Florida was inviting and captivating. Surrounded by crystal clear blue water and white sandy beaches, her Grandma Lizzy’s home was a piece of heaven on hearth. That was until Morgan heard the news that her sweet Grandma had passed, leaving Morgan broken-hearted.

Grandma Lizzy always kept family close and she did not disappoint, even after her death. In her final letter she included a bucket list that Morgan had created as a child. Leaving her tiresome dead-end job in Pennsylvania, Morgan heads to Anna Maria Island to begin the bucket list journey that Grandma Lizzy had left her. All the while Cade Tyler, her charming best friend from her childhood tags along.

Returning back to her childhood hometown of Anna Maria Island and spending time with Cade, Morgan begins to remember what matters the most to her. The bucket list won’t be an easy journey. It will force her to face the pain and issues in her past as she begins to fall for her best friend who has been there all along.

Just when Morgan’s heart begins to heal, a meeting with a newcomer into Anna Maria Island leaves her questioning everything she thought she knew.

Will Morgan be able to fulfill Grandma Lizzy’s dying wish and complete the bucket list? Or will the secrets from her past haunt her and threaten any hope she has at a happy future and true love?

What Means the Most

Well it certainly is a feel-good romance. I appreciated the best friends from childhood having grown up with my husband the same. The characters were good, except I had a hard time placing Lucas in, he seemed to be misplaced there. And them all of a sudden twins & massive wealth are thrown in with no indication of any such secret mentioned. Just seemed like there were two storylines involved.

It was alright, but I didn't enjoy the the lack of flow. Big love scenes, then Lucas with his burglary attempt & Austin with his kidnapping attempt just didn't seem to fit.

Good story

This was a good story, with great characters and plot lines that has potential to go even further but was hastily rushed in my opinion. I felt it focused a lot on their relationship rather than the story of the bucket list from her grandmother, and the land development was a sideline thrown in at the last minute. There was a huge amount of spelling mistakes that we're distracting sadly. But apart from that it was a good story and the last chapter at the end was very exciting with a happy ending. I am intrigued to read more from Hazel Taylor, and I think it's a positive if you wish the book could've been longer.

I really enjoyed reading this box set. It has books 1-4. Its a complete series that was very enjoyable to read. It centers around Morgan and her best friend Cade and the adventure they have together because Morgan's grandma Lizzie passes away anx leaves Morgan a bucket list to do in order to receive her inheritance. I received a free arc copy of the box set and I am leaving an voluntary honest review.

What Means the Most

Very good story. Well written, kept my interest flowing . Morgan’ grandmother had died and she had returned for the reading of her will. Cade, her best friend from childhood, was also at he reading. Morgan had a to do list before she could gain her inheritance. Cade was going to help her complete it. This story surely had some twists and turns, just making the reading more enjoyable.

A romance story with possibilities

This story line is good but the book needs editing. There are too many mistakes.
The characters are interesting but story line somewhat disjointed.

Very comforting

I love books like this. Even though you can somewhat predict the ending, the twists on the journey makes the book truly interesting.

Pretty good

I liked the book but I’m beginning to think I have become more accustomed to murder mysteries and it just didn’t hold my interest as much.

Nope. Just nope.

Poorly written with multiple nonsensical plot deviations. Painful to read. Implausible characters, none of whom you will care enough about to be bothered about.
