New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis returns to Sunrise Cove with a heartwarming tale of three people who are brought together when they’re bequeathed an old Wild West inn that has the potential to pull their lives apart, but instead turns into the gift of a lifetime.
When Alice receives a call about an unexpected windfall, she’s stunned to learn the gift is a falling-apart-at-the-seams old Wild West B&B she once considered home—and she’s inherited it along with two strangers. Except they weren’t always strangers. Once upon a time, they were friends. One is her ex-BFF Lauren. The other is Knox, the only guy to ever break her heart, all while never even knowing she existed.
It turns out their lives are unknowingly entangled because they once separately helped the same woman without expecting anything in return. Years later, Alice, Lauren, and Knox are broken in their own way, with their own history—and secrets— causing them to start out on the wrong foot with each other. But according to the will, they must renovate and be partners in the inn for one year or else lose their inheritance.
Stuck together, they make a list of rules to keep the peace—rules that end up doing the opposite, but by some miracle they find what they didn’t even know they were looking for—acceptance, true friendship, and in a case (or two!), true love.

The tough part is listening to a new narrator (sorry andy arndt). I adore listening to erin mallon and karen white. Ive literally snorted soda up my nose I laughed so hard in the wildstone series (mallon as narrator) and animal attraction series (white as narrator). My husband rolled his eyes and said it cant be that funny! I told him dont be jealous - jill shalvis plus these ladies delivering the line are hilarious! What does he know all his fav narrators sound like darth vader.
In this book the funny lines come off more serious and sometimes I laughed a line or two later. Ive heard andi in her own book she wrote and she was funny. So she can narrate funny!!I just widh she narrated more like that here.
Also Jill usually has an 70ish character who says alot of funny things that only a eccentric aunt or uncle could get a way with- I missed that too in this story. Theres a little of that here!
All that said- Honestly if jill shalvis writes it I know Im in for a treat anyway- this book came out on my bday and my gift to myself was coffee, a new throw, warm socks and this book😍. The hubby n kids were- well who knows I was listening to this book! This is my 30th shalvis title and I cant wait to read more- Ive started to go back and read her lucky harbor series!! Im a first grade teacher and I have to recoup on weekends🤪🤪. Jill shalvis books are great for recoup-ing!

The Backup Plan was a low-angst story with two romances, and a second-chance-at-bes-friends with Lauren and Alice. They let time and distance get between them but the forced proximity had them remembering how close they were, how much the friendship meant. Knox and Alice tip toe around mutual attraction while working on the inn, and Lauren finds love at the hardware store. Both romances made me smile.
I enjoyed the lessons they learned from Eleanor’s emails. Some of the revelations they had from them were painful to hear but helped the three face things they wouldn’t have normally.
The story is book three of the series, but it’s not necessary to read the previous books to enjoy it.
The Backup Plan was a feel-good story with friendship, love, and the comfort of finding home again.
Andi Arndt is one of my all-time favorite narrators for romance! Male or female voices she's awesome. I listened at my usual 1.5x normal speed.
A feel good romance!

Lots of angst… but in a good way! Resolving issues of the past is not easy but these characters make it through .
