The Last Boyfriend
by Nora Roberts
Goodreads Summary: Owen is the organizer
of the Montgomery clan, running the family's construction business with
an iron fist - and an even less flexible spreadsheet. And though his
brothers bust on his compulsive list-making, the Inn BoonsBoro is about
to open right on schedule. The only thing Owen didn't plan for was Avery
McTavish
Avery's popular pizza place is right across the street from the inn, giving her a first-hand look at its amazing renovation - and a newfound appreciation for Owen. Since he was her first boyfriend when they were kids, Owen has never been far from Avery's thoughts. But the attraction she's feeling for him now is far from innocent.
As Avery and Owen cautiously take their relationship to another level, the opening of the inn gives the whole town of Boonsboro a reason to celebrate. But Owen's hard work has only begun. Getting Avery to let down her guard is going to take longer than he expected - and so will getting her to realize that her first boyfriend is going to be her last.

Review: The Last Boyfriend is the second book of the Inn Boonsboro trilogy, and while I enjoyed it, it's a very sleepy book with little plot. The book focuses on the things that happen in life - the holidays, opening of a business, relationships - and it plods along slowly with little to no direction. While I enjoyed the main characters as well as all the other side characters, this book was definitely one that was devoted to the complexities of a relationship rather than a plot. Honestly, it was a little bit boring for my taste. I'm someone who needs a little bit of excitement along with the romance aspect. The next book, due out later this year, seems promising though, so we'll see.
Overall Rating: 2.5/5
