As is usual in Mallery books, three women find their matches. Of course, for Paris, that new man is actually an ex-husband. They broke up years ago and he remarried and has a son. But now Jonah's back in town with his son to help while his mother undergoes surgery. While Paris believes they are on their way to being friends, Jonah might have a different idea.
Her best friend Laurel has two daughters and an ex-husband who doesn't see the girls. Her oldest is acting out toward all males. She just needs a friend. A male friend. One who can show that not all men are flakes who can't be counted on.
Last is Cassie. She's just joined the friend group after inheriting some land from a great uncle. She's feeling raw after her brother and sister kicked her out of the nest. While both of her siblings got money, she inherited land. Land that an apparently very hot archaeologist is working on.
An enjoyable book but the ending was incredibly fast like the author ran out of time and wanted to wrap up the storylines quickly.

This wasn’t a bad book. I can’t stand Cassie. She was really annoying and I hated how she used Raphael. It had that typical Hallmark ending. She leaves, realizes she made a mistake and then comes back. And she welcomed with open arms. Mot my favorite ending. I don’t even like it in the Hallmark movies and I like Hallmark movies. This book was just ok.

Honestly this book is kind of bonkers. There’s a lot of small details that get exaggerated which I feel like pull you out of the story - one example is someone who has seven degrees?! But then how or why or what they are isn’t explained, and you’re just distracted thinking why did they tell me something so odd about this character that it would only make sense if it was somehow important and yet it isn’t? Also the adults have a lot of outdated views (ie. slut shaming). Probably wouldn’t recommend to my fellow millennials or gen z although I could see older readers liking it.
