It was fun to revisit this series and read Moira’s story. I loved the Somerset Lake setting and getting caught up with the characters from the earlier books in the series.

Moira is a 911 operator and is satisfied with her life. Her weekly book club meeting to get together with her friends is a highlight of her week. But these friends have now all been paired up and sometimes she feels the void of not being part of a couple.

When her Mom’s beloved cafe is threatened to be destroyed to make way for a parking lot, Moira decides to take action and run for mayor in the upcoming elections. Her opponents include the current, handsome Gil who has once come to her rescue. She feels an attraction and is fairly certain Gil has too. Will the nightmare and humiliation of her past allow her to move on and find everything she’s looking for?

I enjoyed this book and particularly the author’s writing style. Her characters are well-developed and likeable. I appreciated her use of the town blogger/gossip throughout the series which gave greater insight into small-town life. The use of a character with Down’s Syndrome was written with kindness and respect.

I highly recommend this book and series to those who enjoy romance.
