Another installment in the Happily Inc series. Silver has never quite gotten over Drew after they broke up when she got pregnant. Twelve years later their paths cross again. Can they make it work now? ARC from NetGalley.

Susan Mallery can do no wrong! I read this on a beautiful Saturday on my back patio...just where most of her books should be consumed. Silver and Drew are some of my favorite characters that Mallery has ever written. I would be lying if I said that I didn't miss Fool's Gold, but this series hasn't disappointed. She does a great job with setting and world building within small communities. Makes you want to pack up and move! I will be recommending this to patrons who come into my library looking for a good easy read.

The 4th book in the Happily Inc series, we are no longer have any of the Mitchell brothers (who all have gotten their HEA)and starts new characters that have no connection to fools gold(another series by Ms. Mallery) Silver a very unique name whom we have met in the first book and Drew is about second chance at love . Both individuals were smitten with each other in high school but Silver called it off as Drew was heading to college. As we continue to read we realize it was more than him going off to college that ended their romance. We meet up with the previous heroine from all three books and we get a secondary beginning love story from Wynn and Jasper(am sure their book will be next). As with all the of the books we get an in depth look into the makings and what happens behind the scenes of what it takes to put an excellent wedding reception together. Review on goodreads and amazon.

This series is a phenomenal one Susan Mallery never does me wrong when I want a good emotional read with a happy ending. Love this one!

This is my first Happily Inc book (but I'm a fan of Ms Mallerys other works) and I couldn't help but be left with the impression that Drew was just a complete knob. A selfish, clueless, knob.
Having never been a man giving up a child for adoption, I cant say for sure what the emotional gamut is - but Derw didn't seem to have much compunction about it. Whether that's true to life or not - its disappointing in our male lead, when we read romance to find swoonworthy men. I mean, he seemed to give a shit when he found out that Silver had kept in touch, but does that not reek of the whole toddler ideal of "I want it only because you have it"?
He babysat a bunny, which I assume is to add a little hubris to his personality, but other than that we see a guy with a snobby family dynamic and too much money just sort of buy into the business (and life) of his highschool ex. And not in an alpha-take-charge-sexy-dominant way... just a casual sliiiiiiide in and stick around. In real life, that'd be creepy.
I also found the "friends" to all be stilted and un-genuine (yes, I know that's not a word but I cant think of the right one). It was cheesy and Hallmark and not particularly deep and real.
Anyways, this book and these characters aren't for me. I'm going to read another and see if this is a fluke, or maybe I've found a Ms Mallery series that's a miss for me :(

Another cute, feel good story in this series by Susan Mallery. Fun and interesting characters make this a read you wont want to put down.

Silver has had a lot going on for so many years. Pregnant as a teenager making very adu!t decisions about adoption to starting her own business and surely sing herself with girlfriends who love her for who she is. I want to be friend's with her! I love the Happily Inc stories and am looking forward to the next one Wynn's story maybe???

Another winner. This series of books is so wonderful. I hope new people join this group of friends so Mallery can keep writing about them. It was great that Silver and Drew finally had their story.

This is a great 2nd chance romance about two characters that were in love years before that college came between them. In addition and here is a spoiler but its a very important part of the story, so I really have to mention it so don't read if you don't want to know.


Silver ended up pregnant and Drew was the dad. he offered to marry her but they were broken up and she knew he was just offering not because he still loved her. What he does not know if that she had the child but has a relationship with the family and that is a BIG plot point in this story.

The story starts as Silver wants to expand her business and Drew who works for his family bank decides to become Silvers partner. He does it because he thinks its a great idea and because he wants to get to know the older Silver. Meanwhile Silver wants to get to know Drew but she has some MAJOR secrets.

I really liked Drew. He stands up to his mother and while the secrets are pretty huge, he manages to man up and grown and be there for Silver. This story was probably one of my top two in the series. I really enjoyed this heart warming story about friendship and family.

I love this book! The characters are so relatable. The raw emotions their stories stirred inside me was shocking! I can't wait to find out if there are more connections or continuations in other of Mallery's books, as there often are.

Fool's Gold has been one of my favorite series but I haven't quite gotten into the Happily Inc. series. Not Quite Over You may be the book that won me over. I love Drew and feel bad for him because his mom is quite the piece of work. Somehow he still ends up being normal, caring and kind despite his mom's behavior. Silver was also a fun character and while I get she has insecurities I really wish she would stop pushing Drew away at the drop of a hat.

The story was sweet and trademarked Susan Mallery style. It did make me want to go back and read the earlier books in the series but the story I'm really waiting for now is Jaspar. We get a glimpse of his story during this book but we're left hanging! I can't wait for his book.

Fans of the Happily Inc. Series will appreciate the long wait for Silver and Drew's story. Mallery delivers another solid story to continue the series. Old friends continue to have their stories pushed forward. Looking forward to the next installment of the series.

Another wonderful addition to Happily,Inc.
Romance between the straitlaced banker, Drew and the owner of AlcoHaul, a traveling bar for special events...seems unlikely.
Both are hard working in their respective fields, with family dysfunction....and a past.
Will they get a second chance at romance...and their own family?
Read this tale of teen age love, hurt, healing and triumph, seasoned with dashes of humor.
I requested the ARC from NetGalley for this as soon as I noted it's availability and enjoyed every line.

Silver and Drew are terrific together. I'm so glad we've finally gotten their story and what a great story it is! What started as a hot-and-heavy teen romance has bloomed into a mature, loving relationship. I truly appreciate Ms. Mallery's attention to detail and allowing the reader to feel like they are a part of the story.

Drew is just in awe of all these good ideas his woman has, "she smiled. “Oh good. I thought maybe we could take your mind off things.” Her smile widened. “You know, with ***.” His body’s reaction was nearly instantaneous. He kissed her." I liked this book, it took a lot of persistence of Drew to get his woman to see reason.

Ever since Susan Mallery started the Happily Inc. series, I've been dying to read Silver's book. Silver is such an interesting character. Her friends describe her as tough. beautiful, independent, smart, and incredibly loyal. But, what the audience doesn't know is that she's much softer on the inside than she lets on. It turns out that Silver has spent her whole life fearing she would turn into her mother. Her mother went from man to man. She fell in love at the drop of a hat and as soon as it was over, she would find a new man. Needless to say, Silver operates the exact opposite of her mother. Silver's been in love with Drew since they were 18 years old. Sure, she's been with other guys and dated but she has yet to fall in love again--or fall out of love with Drew, quite frankly.

As you can guess, it's a recipe for disaster when Drew offers to become a minority partner in Silver's business after the bank rejects her business loan request. Not only will they be working together on a daily business, but this means Silver will have to tell Drew something she should have told him years ago. What is this secret? Read to find out :P I'm not going to ruin the surprise.

This book was super cute and enjoyable. I love second chance romances! I also adore Silver and Drew. Their chemistry is evident from the very first page...and so are their feelings--though neither of them believes they have unresolved feelings, naturally.

If you're looking for a fun, heartwarming story then you should definitely pick this one up. Susan Mallery has knocked it out of the park once again. I'm looking forward to the next installment in this series--I'm holding out for Wynn and Jasper *fingers crossed.

We finally find out all Silvers secrets and get to fall in love with Drew.
I absolutely adored this story, it had everything. Secrets, surprises and romance. I thought Libby was a horrible person and Mother but Sylvia has her beat by a mile. Wonderfully evil. The rest of the characters are just wonderful
Happily Inc is as fantastic as Fool's Gold.
