Publisher's summary

Max Abbott takes center stage in the Butler, Vermont Series finale when the timeline jumps forward five years and finds Max staring down his ten-year high-school reunion with no desire whatsoever to attend. Under pressure from friends and family, he ends up glad he went when he connects with the one person from high school he didn’t keep in touch with—his ex-girlfriend, Lexi, who has been “missing” the last ten years. When he finds out where she’s been—and why—and realizes all the old familiar feelings are still there, he’ll have to decide if he can risk taking a chance on an uncertain situation with her or if he’d rather continue to go it alone with his son, Caden.

Find out where all the Abbotts and Colemans are and what Fred the Moose is up to five years later as this beloved series comes to an exciting conclusion.

Great Ending!

I have loved this series and characters for many years! Marie Force outdid herself in bringing this large cast of characters through five years of living and giving her readers this finale!

wonderful series!

This is the last, but one of the best installments in the Butler series. I loved getting caught up on all the family members. The final chapter was amazing!
Avery Caris is a great narrator!

A fitting conclusion to the series

I love my visits to Vermont and I feel that the Abbott and Coleman families are now old friends. Have you ever wanted desperately to start a book but on the other hand didn’t as you know that once you finish it the series will be over? That’s the position I was in with this book.

This book was a fabulous addition to the series and I was riveted to the story and narration. I knew that Ms. Force would do something special for Max’s book and I was not disappointed.

Avery Caris did a wonderful job in narrating Max Abbott and his ex-girlfriend Lexi’s second chance at love story. Her voice is easy to listen to and did justice to the characters and the story that Marie Force wove.

Marie Force did not disappoint in any way. Starting with the prologue and ending with the epilogue from Elmer was absolutely fitting. This was an extremely well written, sweet and romantic love story that touched me on so many levels.

A fitting conclusion to one of my favorite series.
