A woman reevaluates love after her fiancé ends their nine-year relationship by coming out as gay in this uplifting romance from bestseller Reynolds (the Until series). Before breaking up, Cybil and Galvin booked a nonrefundable couple’s retreat in the Montana wilderness—and now Cybil’s going solo. She’s paired with Tanner Carson, a guide and part owner of the tour company, who stirs feelings she’s never experienced before, making her question her time with Galvin. Tanner has never been in or wanted a relationship, so he’s surprised by his strong reaction to Cybil’s beauty and bravado. From setting up camp to spotting bears and escaping poachers, they embark on quite the odyssey, and neither is ready to part at the end of their week together. But with heavy baggage and concerned friends interfering, can they make it work? Surprisingly drama-free, this adult coming-of-age tale centers on self-discovery, healing, and forgiveness. Readers will enjoy this lighthearted romance and root for its adventuresome leads. (Nov.)
