Tailing Grace

by Annette G. Anders

Love isn’t science, nor is it written in the stars. It isn’t always patient either.

Grace Petrucci strongly disbelieves in marriage—and divorce rates back her up. She’s happiest when she takes her Cessna into the sky, far above the fray of personal drama. Little does she know that the man she remembers as a nerdy teenager is about to send her into an emotional tailspin when they unexpectedly meet at a Las Vegas wedding.

Doling out dating advice is easy for life coach Ashton Waterman. Love, like life, is all about order, and it really isn’t too hard to develop a plan and stick to it. His own love life… Let’s say no one has ever compared to the girl who stole his heart years ago. So who can blame him for following Elvis' advice about “Now or Never” when Grace suddenly reappears in Ashton’s life?

Find out in this against-all-odds romance how a night of unforeseen events turns Grace and Ashton’s world upside down—especially if what happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas…


Publisher's Note: Each book in the Colors of Happiness series features a different couple in a tight-knit group of friends and siblings, and as such, can be read as standalone within interconnected, series-arching storylines.

Book Review: TAILING GRACE (Colors of Happiness Series; Book 5) by Annette G. Anders

It's the perfect ending to a wonderful series!

As the adventure winds down, I'm saddened by having to say goodbye to the characters that have become such a part of me while reading the Colors of Happiness series. 'TAILING GRACE' is no exception, and most certainly a "fitting conclusion."

I was fortunate in having received a 'special' paperback version of 'TAILING GRACE' with original artwork matching back to the previous books in the series which will always hold an important place within my collection!

TAILING GRACE is the story of Grace Petrucci and Ashton Waterman steering through the past and stepping into the future of the emotional and dramatic by being unexpectedly thrown together. As the story builds, the author's creativity and love for her characters steps into the spotlight with vivid settings, challenges, and the elements of 'steam', keeping the pages turning!

This novel beautifully explores themes of love, personal growth, and the unexpected turns life can take. Ms. Anders skillfully balances moments of the lighthearted and romantic, making it a truly enjoyable read whether you are on this journey for the first time, or continuing the series through its beloved storyline.

Without giving too much away, 'TAILING GRACE' is a testament to the power of second chances and the enduring connection between two hearts.

I'd like to thank the author for the adventure, as well as the opportunity to review, one last time, a book that surely holds a special place within this series!

Whether you've read each book in the Colors of Happiness series in order or if this is your first book, Tailing Grace is an engaging read.

Vegas weddings, independent business owners establishing a personal relationship despite their past views on marriage, and a range of auxiliary characters all add interest and depth to the story. Having piloted a plane myself and having friend the industry, I was impressed with how the author worked flying regulations into the story. And, her ability to describe the interpersonal relations between characters is a great talent. Her conversations between Ashton and his image-obsessed father or the angst of Landon who is intent on love and fun but not thinking things through are character interactions that added great depth to the book.

Tailing Grace, and the previous books in the Colors of Happiness series, are well crafted and fun reads.

Another great read by Annette G. Anders. I just loved this series and the ending couldn't have been any better. Tailing Grace is the 5th in the series, and also the last in the series. This is the story about Grace and Ashton. They were reconnected when Grace's cousin was getting married in Vegas and invited them both to come as his witness. This was such an enjoyable series and I am going to miss all the characters but I can't wait to see what she comes up with next. I will definitely be reading whatever she writes. Thank you for the ARC.

A great ending to this wonderful series! This book can be read as a stand alone; backstory for the other books is covered well without taking up too much space and time.
I loved Ashton and Grace’s story! Even more so with their history.
As usual the vivid setting descriptions make me want to travel!

I just finished Tailing Grace. This is the fifth book in the series and the last. Grace flies planes on Martha's Vineyard for a living and is used to running away when things get real. Ashton gives relationship advice but discovers reality is much harder. I love these to characters and the ending was perfect!

Another fantastic book by Annette G Anders! Grace and Ashton captured my heart with emotions and feel good moments. TAILING GRACE is the last book in the COLORS OF HAPPINESS BOOK series and it was a great story and a fantastic way to end the series!
