All the Right Moments
Annie – My entire life has been spent taking care of other people—an absent husband, our four kids, and a gaggle of grandkids. I love my life, but I’ve always been so worried about everyone else that I’d forgotten what it feels like to actually be happy. When an unexpected snowstorm hits and leaves me stranded in a cabin with my high school boyfriend, I finally start to remember. All these years later, Abe is still strong and sweet…and did I mention sexy? The real question is how do I mix my newfound happiness with my already-established life?
Abe – Annie Mitchell…the girl who got away. We were crazy about each other back in the day, and then, we went our separate ways to have our own happily ever afters. Unfortunately, neither one of us got a fairytale ending, but after getting stuck in a cabin together, I think maybe this is our second chance. One more chance is all I need because I’ll do whatever I can to not let her go again
**All the Right Moments is a later-in-life, second-chance, small-town novella. It is the fifth in the series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but they are better when read in order.

The title, All the Right Moments, couldn’t be more accurate. Everything happens when it’s supposed to happen. This is a standalone novella about two high school sweethearts who went separate ways and thirty-seven years later found their way to each other again. I highly recommend reading the other books in the series for an amazing experience.
Annie is the matriarch of the Mitchels. She’s strong and independent, but her life has been hard, raising four great kids on her own. Settling for the role of a devoted mother and supportive grandmother, she puts her life on hold, forgetting she’s also a woman with dreams and desires of her own.
Abe is a sweet, single dad who, after losing his wife, he raised his only daughter by himself. Tracy is his world, and now his granddaughter. He loved his late wife so much that he never thought about having someone back into his life again. That was, until he offered to accompany Annie to her son’s cabin, also his son-in-law’s brother, up in the Smoky Mountains to check on a few repairs, and they ended up snowed in the secluded place.
I loved the way everything happened between them. To see the old flame turn into a fiery blaze as they reconnected. It wasn’t just their bodies indulging in their awakened libido, no! They connected body, mind, and soul, making them rediscover their long-lost love, and it was amazing to get front seats and watch their hearts bloom again.
The family behind them is so perfect, each child and grandchild with such unique personalities, rendering a few laughs when they catch their parents in a naughty moment. They forget parents are also men and women, and they deserve romance as well. Suddenly the children parent their own mom and dad as if they were children caught red-handed, giving them a hard time about it, just to realize later how wrong they were.
It’s a romantic novella, full of naughty moments and fun, self-discovery and second chances. A beautiful later in life romance to swoon you off your feet. It proves that love is ageless and no matter how old you are, it’s okay to fall in love and enjoy life with someone that makes you happy!
Every person deserves the happiest ever after, no matter what!

This novella is actually more like a full-length book. I loved that the main characters are older; there is a lot of wisdom in the chapters as they discover a second chance romance. This book does get steamy and quite descriptive, but it is a sweet later-in-life romance. I like how the author interwove the small town, family issues, and grown-up kids into the romance. This was a great read and very different for me as the characters were a lot older than I'm used to, but I still enjoyed it. I liked that the characters had history and tied them together.
Annie is grandmother to Macey. Jared, her son, is Macey's father. This book drops you right into a bunch of family dramas. I like Annie's perspective on life and lessons and family in this story. She is wise, trustworthy, and the glue behind her exceptional children and grandchildren.
Abs is a grandfather and single father to his daughter Tracy. His only daughter and, so far, a grandchild is his world. He lost the love of his life and never wanted another relationship.
I guess he is related to AAnnie'sfamily by extension as his daughter married one of her sons.
There are some moments in the story you can't help but smile at. Annie has a boisterous family of characters, with all her children and their wives and kids having different personalities. Their Sunday family dinner brings on another task, but I love looking into the grandparents' lives.
Leave it to Mother Nature to mess up the best-made planes, but the predicament is too amusing not to love. Annie and Abe have a lot of history even though they are just friends and have been for a long time. Their memories are sweet and youthful. This book gets steamy, and their predicament turns longer than expected and colder.
As things really start to heat up, we get a time jump back to the past. The sweet memories of youthful days help them bond better now, but life often seems to interrupt them. This book ends sweet, even with all the interruptions.

April 1, 2022What a wonderful later in life romance that leaves you feeling happy and that you can find love even after heartbreak. Stephanie gives us Annie and Abe's story of two parents, grandparents and first loves that rediscover that they still have feelings for one another.
Annie is the mother of four wonderful grown children, who have started families of their own. Her life has been one of heartache but she wouldn't change it because of her children, but she is lonely. She has never done anything for herself since having children and dealing with a drug addict husband that she could not have around the children. She is now a widow but is surrounded by family and love, but not the love that maybe she wishes for. When she and Abe, her son Jessie, father-in-law offer to fix up her other son, Jonas, cabin for Jessie to give Tracy a little vacation before the baby comes, who knew Mother Nature would get involved in their love life. Snowed in and not much to eat, drink or do they spend the time reminiscing about the past, their relationship when they were teens and their life since. When the heat is not working they find a way to keep warm. Old feelings surface and they start to act like teens in love again. When reality bursts their bubble and happiness, will they be able to patch the hole in the bubble? Can they get their children to see that they are happy or will their children be too selfish?
I loved that Annie got her own story. She is one firecracker of a gramma and one that deserves love and happiness after everything life threw at her. To find love again after all those years is truly a blessing.
Stephanie thank you for showing us that we can find happiness no matter your age or what life has dished out. I thoroughly loved this story and the rest of the series. Add this to your TBR list and enjoy.

I was begging for this book since I meet Annie, and is finally here. What can I say? It’s so good and romantic. Abe and Annie has the most amazing Second Chance, a really second chance and they don’t want to lose any time again. After 37 years of waiting, being together now is like in the teenager times. I love how every moments they manage to make it just perfect. Annie’s kids, as they call them, are very crazy about his mom dating again and it’s hilarious how they find out. Life happens and we need to focus in what make us happy, like Annie and Abe. Thanks for this story Stephanie.

This is a well written later in life second chance romance between old high school sweethearts Annie and Abe. The author does a great job building the story and painting her scenes. She brings a sweet love story thirty seven years in the making. I loved the humor she adds in along with the romance. She moves the story fluidly and delivers a great read.

This is the 2nd book I've read written by Stephanie Renee; I can’t wait to read more of her books.
This is the 5th book in the Grady Romances Series; it is a stand-alone book. The story is about Annie & Abe; they were together years ago but each went their separate way. Now years later they get stuck in a cabin together during a snowstorm.

I loved reading about Annie getting her happily ever after! Both her and Abe have been through so much! This is a small town, second chance love story set with two older characters!
Leave it to Mother Nature to mess up their plans to head up to the cabin and back in a day. Instead they get snowed in for a few days and manage to rekindle an old high school flame. To say their children were unhappy would be an understatement, except for good ol Jenn! She had her mommas back! Now they just need to either get their kids on board with the love fest or tell them to get lost because they are having fun!

I've loved Annie throughout this whole interconnected series! She's sassy and strong, and she's the heart of the family. Abe is a bit rough around the edges but a total sweetie, and I enjoyed their path back to each other. I would like to see more authors write romances with mature characters, and this is one I recommend in that category. Annie and Abe's story will fill you with the warm fuzzies.
