Mmmmm. Moore romance from Heather? (I'm so clever, right?) Yes, thank you.
From Amazon: Welcome to the Aliso Creek Novella Series...
Liz, Gemma, Arie, Jess, and Drew have been best friends since creating “the Five” at Aliso Creek High School. But that was over ten years ago, and each is still trying to find that perfect someone... if perfect is even possible.
Actually, Jess Giles has found her perfect match, but since Charlie is several years older than she, they never have a moment of harmony from his adult kids who protest the marriage. When Charlie dies in a tragic accident, his kids add insult to injury and sue Jess for her share of the inheritance. The only person Jess trusts for financial advice is Charlie’s financial planner, Preston Michaels. Just talking to Preston on the phone makes Jess feel flustered, yet strangely comfortable at the same time, so she puts off meeting him for as long as possible. When Jess has to attend the formal hearing, she’s about to find out if the man she’s been talking to over the phone for several months lives up to the voice that she’s grown attached to.

Audience: Adult (Clean)
Genre: Romance
Length: 61 pages
Rating: ***** (I loved it!)
Pros: I can't even explain why I liked this one better than THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM. I did so love Preston's forward style. And the portrayal of Jess' guilty feelings, perfect. It was refreshing that while she grieved for her husband, she admitted her attraction -- and later need -- for Preston. And now that I'm off maternity leave and back to editing, the novella length reads are perfect for in between projects!
