Grayson Coleman has just moved home to
Butler, Vermont after spending years working for a high-powered law firm in
Boston. He’s looking for a simpler, less stressful existence in the sleepy
little mountain town where he grew up with his siblings and Abbott cousins.
Once the holidays are over, he plans to hang out a shingle and open a new
general law practice. After helping to raise his seven younger siblings, the
last thing on Grayson’s mind is a family of his own.
Emma Mulvaney is enjoying a break from
her reality as a busy single mother in New York City while she and her adorable
daughter, Simone, spend the holidays in Vermont with Emma's sister, Lucy, and
Lucy’s future in-laws, the Abbotts. After meeting Abbott cousin Grayson Coleman
and talking to him for hours, Emma is nervous and excited to have dinner alone
with him after sharing her deepest, most personal secrets with him.
Will that first night be the start of
something new for the jaded lawyer and the selfless single mom or will a
holiday week flirtation turn into something much bigger than either of them
ever expected?
Come back to Butler, Vermont for more of
the charming Abbott family, their matchmaking father and grandfather and of
course, Fred the Moose.

6: Ain’t She Sweet
At first, I didn’t think Grayson and Emma had enough in common to make their relationship work long -term. Grayson has returned home to work in his family business after spending several years in Boston working as a corporate attorney. His last romantic relationship crashed and burned. Emma is a single mother who works in New York City as an office manager. She has a huge support system which includes her Dad and several close friends. Providing a warm, stable loving home for her precocious 9 year old daughter Simone is Emma’s focus; she hasn’t dated in years. Emma and Grayson sit by a fire and confide in each other after a wedding. The chemistry that developed between them during the fireside conversation drew me into the story.
The author’s descriptive writing style shines Every Little Thing. I could picture the main characters, envision having breakfast at the diner with Gray’s relatives Elmer and Linc and picture myself with Emma’s sister Lucy as she watched Simone and Colton ski. Marie Force effortlessly transitions between several subplots featuring Butler residents Hannah and Noah, Lucy and Colton and Elmer and Linc. Each one of the side plots connects back to Gray and Emma’s story and the significance of family and friends.
The central theme of family and community in this novel appealed to me. Grayson and his family are contacted by their father who abandoned them sixteen years ago. Grayson is faced with a moral decision which could alienate him from his mother, brothers and sisters. Emma has several things to consider when she is offered a job in Vermont. Can she uproot Simone from her family friends and school? Can she leave her widowed father in New York and start a new life?
The characters in this novel are easy to relate to as they are faced with every day concerns. The author seamlessly weaves issues such as modernizing a family run business, single parenthood, communication issues and a cancer diagnosis throughout the story. I liked that Emma and Grayson took a chance on love and they believed and supported each other. The conclusion to this romantic novel had a few surprises for several characters and I can’t wait for the next book in the series!
