Series background & context
The Montgomery brothers are restoring a historic inn in BoonsBoro, Maryland, and the project changes more than the building. Beckett, Owen, and Ryder work with their mother to bring the inn into a new stage of its life. Their romances unfold alongside construction, local businesses, and the demands of opening and running a place for guests. A ghostly presence adds a quieter mystery to this contemporary small-town trilogy.
The shared project keeps the brothers' lives connected.
The Next Always begins with Beckett, the family's architect. The renovation leaves him busy, but he has never entirely forgotten Clare Brewster, a woman he wanted to kiss as a teenager. Clare has returned to town after losing her husband and is raising three sons while running a bookstore. Their developing relationship has to fit into work and parenting, rather than exist apart from the responsibilities that already fill their days.
The Last Boyfriend follows Owen, the planner who keeps the construction business and the inn's schedule under control. Avery McTavish runs the pizza restaurant across the street, so she has watched the renovation at close range. She and Owen also have a childhood connection: he was her first boyfriend. Knowing someone for years doesn't settle how a grown relationship will work, particularly when one person is used to making plans and the other has reasons to keep her guard up.
The Perfect Hope turns to Ryder and Hope Beaumont, the innkeeper. Hope brings professional hotel experience to the new business, while Ryder's skills are more closely tied to hands-on building work. Their frequent sparring becomes part of the attraction between them. Hope's past in Washington, D.C., also complicates her attempt to make a fresh start. The final book keeps the inn's daily operation in view as the relationship develops.
BoonsBoro matters because these people see one another beyond a single date or family gathering. The bookstore, restaurant, and inn form a network of workplaces and friendships. News travels through that network, and practical help is close at hand. The supernatural thread also belongs to the building's history. The rumored haunting gives the brothers another reason to look beyond the renovation plans and consider the lives connected to the inn before theirs.
Read The Next Always, The Last Boyfriend, and The Perfect Hope in order to follow the renovation and the growing group around it. The trilogy takes inspiration from the real inn Roberts owns, but its romances belong to the fictional Montgomery family. The tone is contemporary romance with family warmth and a ghost story woven through it. It suits readers who enjoy practical work, recurring neighbors, and relationships that have to make space for an already busy life.
