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.

The best series ever!

Feel good, modern take on wholesome and realistic families. Great read before all the holidays by one of my favorite authors.

Love this book!

So, glad to hear all the dangling story lines tied up! Charlie & Tyler getting married, raising his nieces (that part was sad). And Max getting a happily ever after.

Great series!

Loved this series and sad it’s over. I just love Marie Force’s multi-book series following the lives of large families and friends. They are always so good and fun to read!

Outstanding finale!

Can’t say enough about book 9.
Awesome writing, so great to catch up with everyone and perfect 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.

Loved it

The story was great. It brought us up to speed on of the whole family. Loved the way you started & ended it with Elmer, as that is truly where it all started.
The narration was the best yet. She moved so easily from one character to the next & I often thought it was a different person. ❤️❤️
Thanks Marie for another great story & for all the stories. Keep writing.

I love that this was Max's story

I love how you created maxes story and brought all the pieces together so sweetly. Thank you so much for giving us Butler.

A great ending to a great series

A long and winding road was a great ending to a great series. I loved catching up with one of my favorite fictional families, but I am sad to see it end. I highly recommend this series if you love a good story with lots of laughs and outrageousness.

Great!

Really enjoyed the entire series! Hope someday Marie will write a Christmas update of the entire Butler crew

❤️❤️

I’m sad the series is over but enjoyed the catch up with everyone it’s great to hear Max will be happy. My favorite part is Molly finally gets her dad and husband so freaking good !! Lol it’s been a delightful ride I enjoyed every single word of the whole series . Thank you Marie for sharing this series with me. I’ll be stalking I mean I’ll be looking forward toward your next adventure ..

Another fantastic read by Marie Force. It was such a lovely read from start to finish.

Fabulous book

Wow… what are we gonna do now that this fabulous series is over! I can’t believe it. Loved seeing Max and Lexi find their way back to each other. Elmers letter to Cletus was so moving and ingenious. Wonderful book and series. Awesome narration too.
