This is the 3rd book in the Love in Massachusetts Series. I’m sure you could read it as a standalone but you would be missing out on 2 books of fun, so I recommend that you read them all.
This book picks up with Abagail (best friend of Elia from the 1st book Promises We Meant to Keep).
She somehow hooks up with Nicola – her nephew’s ex fiancé – when the fiancé is told to return the ring to Aunt Abagail. Of course the nephew is an entitled, unpleasant, inadequate man who only values money and wealth. Most of which comes via Abagail – but he does not seem to realise this and annoys her enough to get cut off!

As usual both characters are complex, neither communicate what they want and presume to know what the other wants. It’s an age gap romance and Abagail is labelled by her best friend as aromantic which adds to the complexity and her ability to know herself and what she wants.

It’s a fun read and very enjoyable – I have enjoyed all Adrian J Smith’s books and this is no exception.
