Synopsis

You can’t win until you learn when to fall back. . .
Amanda Brooks can’t seem to find a job that suits her. She’s really hoping her new plan is a good one, because she needs something to keep her busy while her boyfriend’s gone.
Abigail Brooks is opening a new legal practice in the middle of nowhere, but she’s positive she can make it work. With more flexible hours, she’s finally prepared to settle herself and her family into their new life out West.
Donna Ellingson’s brother may be a grade-A jerk, but she’s grown a lot in the past year. She’s not afraid of a fight anymore, as long as she’s on the right side.
But when a rival developer breaks ground on a retreat in nearby Flaming Gorge, he steals all of Amanda’s best contractors. Abby’s nearly as frustrated when her big sister drops in, eager to “help” as usual. And Donna discovers that sometimes no love life is better than too much. . .
Can these three friends-turned-family learn when to go all-in and when to let go before their various battles meet with unhappy endings?

Love learning more about these women and how they are growing independently and together, though there are times I just want to reach into the pages and shake some sense into them. But I think that makes for good storytelling and character development. I can related to each women at different points......more

I loved this. If you've already been reading, you'll enjoy this next installment. I know some people find Amanda a bit irritating. A lot of us have our $#!7 together by 40, but not all. I like how relatable she is in her struggles and the background details as to why she is like this. Yes, she annoyed......more
