Description

A chance meeting. A painful separation. A second chance at happily ever after.

Audrey Eliza Schmidt Gable wasn’t just named after classic actress Audrey Hepburn, she looks quite a lot like her too. But as the oldest of seven sisters, Audrey has never had much time for love and romance. She has to be practical, orderly, and organized just to maintain her sanity. But on a trip to Europe after graduating from college, Audrey’s best laid plans fall apart when she meets a handsome stranger on the streets of Florence and is swept off her feet—in more ways than one.

After an unfortunate accident forces her to cut her vacation short, sending her back home to California before she can get the stranger’s last name, Audrey finds herself thinking about his gorgeous green eyes—even five years later. Convinced she’ll never see him again, Audrey throws herself into her interior design business and starts dating someone new.

But Audrey’s equilibrium is upended once again when a mysterious billionaire hires her to redecorate a luxury beach house, and she spots those unforgettable green eyes in the last place she’d expect. Will she have the courage to trade her orderly, predictable life for a chance at true love?

In the first book in The Gable Sisters clean and wholesome romance series, you’ll meet all seven sisters and dive into Audrey’s unforgettable story, from first meeting to a years-long separation to a sweet and heartwarming reunion—with plenty of laughs along the way.

Advance Praise

"This was the cutest, cleanest little love story I ever read. ... It's just so darn cute it'll make you want to spit. They have chemistry and they have awkwardness and concerns and just about everything to keep them away from each other and not make it. But Ty is Mr. Grand Gesture and just makes you fall in love with him for Audrey. I really enjoyed this book so much that I went looking for more books since there are like 7 sisters. I was not disappointed. I read Betty's story and now I'm waiting for Catherine's story to be released. ... But if you don't like to smile when you read don't read this series from this author."

"Audrey and Ty's story was like a beautiful day-dream that I couldn't stop thinking about! Found myself wishing I was in Audrey's shoes! Can't wait to read Tessa's next book in the Gable girls series!"

This was a light, quick read. Truthfully, I saw most of the plot points coming from a mile away, but romcoms do tend to follow a formula. It wasn’t terribly believable but I still enjoyed it.

(I received this ARC from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.)

This was a nice story of really boy next door type of romance. An accidental billionaire and the girl across the valley who helped her family unselfishly when needed. Abandoning her dreams.
Nicely and accurately written, with good grammar and style.
Ènjoyable in its genre.

Really sweet and clean love story. I love a good story about a chance meeting, missed connection, a reconnection and a HEA.

I loved this book about 2nd chances, lost first loves, and close families. Our couple had misunderstandings, sizzling chemistry, and family members to deal with, but it was a lovely well developed story of the perfect length. My only complaint is the author kept forgetting our heroine’s sisters names as they kept charging throughout. It started with the twins being called Grace and Ginger with the dog Frank, then there was no dog and the twins were called Frances and Grace, then it went back to Grace and Ginger, so all very confusing and a bit distracting. I really enjoyed the story though so will be looking out for the next in the series

This was a sweet story about first and true love. The gimmick involving the sisters' names was cute. The heroine was relatable and the object of her affection is what every girl might secretly long for: a rich Prince Charming to sweep her off her feet.

Audrey Gable never had time for love and romance as she is the oldest of seven sisters. She is always orderly and practical. On a trip to Europe after graduating from college, Audrey meets a handsome stranger on the streets of Florence and is swept off her feet. After an unfortunate accident that forces her to cut her trip short before she has time to learn his last name, she continues to think about him even five years later. She throws herself into her interior design business and starts to date someone. Her world is upended when a mysterious billionaire hires her to redecorate a luxury beach house and she finds out that it is her lost love. This is a fun rom com that I recommend.

A chance meeting. A painful separation. A second chance at happily ever after. This novel, and its unforgettable characters, know no boundaries. To read this book is to laugh, to mourn, to learn, and to grow…. Brimming with joy and packed with a sparkling cast of characters. Charming and compelling…

Absolutely loved this story about the one that got away and second chances. The only thing I wanted different was it to last longer. I loved the characters. This was my first book to read by Tessa Pemberley and I will be reading more!
