About this ebook

This is the one you’ve been waiting for…

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 his family to go, he ends up glad to be there when he connects with the only person from high school he wanted to see—his ex-girlfriend, Lexi, who’s been “missing” the last ten years.

When Max finds out where Lexi has 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 be alone with his son, Caden.

Find out where all the Abbotts and Colemans are and what Fred and Dexter are up to five years later as this beloved series comes to an exciting and heartfelt conclusion.

Ratings and reviews

I have loved this whole series and have re-read these books more than once and again just before reading Max's HEA. I am sorry to see this series come to an end. Marie has such a way of bringing all of her characters to life in a way that makes you connect with each of the beloved characters. One of my favorite authors!

That was an awesome ending to a fantastic series!!!😍 Thank you so much Marie Force🥂💕

Amazing story...from start to finish. I will miss the Abbotts!
