Review: Highly recommend the entire Aliso Creek novella series
Rating: 5 out of 5

Like with the other novellas in the series, I was  immediately interested in meeting Jess and discovering how her romance would evolve, especially since we learn that she is a widow, only a year apart from her beloved husband. How can her romance already have ended when the story has only begun? But that's where Moore brings readers the perfect balance.Jess learns that her friendships can support her, no matter how difficult her loss, and her step-children have made life for her this past year. And she also discovers that "the five" and not her only friends.Even though she has never met Preston Michaels in person, Jess has come to rely on his advice, but there's so much more. She loves just talking to him, even though she's afraid their "relationship" will change if they actually meet. When the day comes that she feels forced to attend a court meeting with Charlie's grown children, Jess feels torn--should so attend, or should she make one more excuse not to meet Preston in person.It's a romance, so we all know what will happen, but that doesn't stop us from worrying how it will all work out for Jess.I highly recommend the entire Aliso Creek novella series for those looking for short, clean romance.
