Booklist Review

Robyn Caldwell is at a crossroads. Her children are grown and out of the house, so it's just her in the too-large mansion she got in the divorce settlement four years ago. With her kids having their own lives and an ex-husband embroiled in an unsettling relationship, Robyn realizes there's nothing keeping her in Florida. When her elderly great-aunt Lillian invites her to her palatial home in Santa Barbara, California, Robyn accepts the invitation. Mason Bishop is an army vet of twenty-five years who has no roots. When his uncle's wife, Lillian, invites him to the family estate he is set to inherit upon her death, Mason takes her up on the offer. There he meets Lillian's niece Robyn, and the stars and moon collide. But past hurt and broken trust may keep the two from realizing the love they could have together. Mallery's latest contemporary romance (after The Stepsisters, 2021) has the family dynamics, heartfelt introspection, and emotional truths that keep readers coming back. The perfect escape for readers wanting to get away.
