Publisher Description
You can't win until you learn when to fall back. . .
Amanda Brooks can't seem to find a job that suits her. She's really hoping her new plan is a good one, because she needs something to keep her busy while her boyfriend's gone.
Abigail Brooks is opening a new legal practice in the middle of nowhere, but she's positive she can make it work. With more flexible hours, she's finally prepared to settle herself and her family into their new life out West.
Donna Ellingson's brother may be a grade-A jerk, but she's grown a lot in the past year. She's not afraid of a fight anymore, as long as she's on the right side.
But when a rival developer breaks ground on a retreat in nearby Flaming Gorge, he steals all of Amanda's best contractors. Abby's nearly as frustrated when her big sister drops in, eager to "help" as usual. And Donna discovers that sometimes no love life is better than too much. . .
Can these three friends-turned-family learn when to go all-in and when to let go before their various battles meet with unhappy endings?
Customer Reviews
Bingeing this series
I’ll keep saying it - this Women’s Fiction saga is amazing. I don’t usually read Women’s fiction anymore, but I’m loving this series. I’m seriously binging it also. In our small town there is love and life, family and more. Lots of lessons to be learned through the lives of normal people and various issues that arise in parenting, family relationship, work, and more. A phenomenal series.
The Retreat
I have read all the books in this series and this will be the last. No character grows until the last chapters; then they regress at the beginning of the next book, to grow at the end.
Rinse repeat, soap opera, social media, ugh!
Suffice it to say the first book is worth it and any plus 50 person can figure out the end. Can I get my money back?
All things good
If you’ve been reading this series you know that not all the things happening in the story are good, but that it WILL be a good story. Baker is a talented author who likes to rip your heart out and then weld it back together. Like the character in the books, there are sometimes scars but it’s worth the prize at the end and the lessons along the way. Clean enjoyable read. I suggest you grab the first one and hold on tight. It’s a ride.
