SYNOPSIS

Gloria Bachman has pivoted so many times this year she has whiplash. Now, in the middle of winter and drenched in Mexican sunshine at a five-star resort, she has a role to play: Mason Lassiter’s “arm candy” in a sting to nab his not-actually-dead, first wife, Patsy. It didn’t make any sense to her either, but who argues with government officials offering an expense-paid trip and a reason for a new beach wardrobe?

With Patsy leading resort security, FBI agents, and Mason on a merry chase, Gloria knows that if you want to catch a woman of a certain age, you have to think like a woman of a certain age. Thankfully, she’s got the credentials.

If only she could understand the other people in her life—particularly Gardner Rogers. Gloria returns home to Comfort, Texas with a ring, a pressing need to organize her house, and a custom order of Sweeties signature truffles to be delivered to White House chefs. When her business partner embarks on last-minute travel plans, one of her best friends announces a retirement, romances bloom from unlikely sources, and Gardner and her ex-husband, Harry Rogers, come unhinged—quite publicly—it all forces Gloria to face her strangest challenges yet.

This final book in the Comfort and Joy trilogy weaves happy endings for the townsfolk that readers have come to love, and just deserts for those they don’t. It’s Kimberly Fish at her finest, and a treasure for brave people who don’t retire quietly.

REVIEW

While I’ve never been to Comfort, Texas, I think I’ve been to small, insular towns like it. Comfort works hard to keep to its roots, even as the suburbs of Austin and San Antonio creep ever closer.

Comfort is home to Gloria Bachman, once a high-flying bank executive, now a chocolate shop owner and a force of nature. She’s found her place in little Comfort and her man, the very handsome Mason Lassiter, owner of a swanky Dallas clothing store empire. But all is not perfect as Gloria’s arch enemy is out to destroy everything she’s built for herself. First, she must fend off an attack by Mason’s ex-wife, who’s running wild somewhere in Mexico. When Gloria returns to Texas, she has to tackle her ex BFF Gardner Rogers, the woman with a vendetta.

Like the previous two Comfort stories, this one is full of friends and family, gossip, intrigue and infighting, and all the kookiness of a small town. Picking up Home to Comfort is like returning to old friends, catching up on their lives, their comings and goings. It’s like pulling on a comfy old sweater and settling in with a cup of tea before a fire; warm, inviting and safe.

While the resolution seems to be a foregone conclusion, it was fun getting there. I really like Gloria as a character. She’s a woman of a certain age who's seen a lot in her life and not willing to put up with a bit of nonsense. A straight shooter. Her friends circle around her, propping her up when she needs it and in return she has their back.

I really enjoyed this series and am sad it’s over but I’m happy for Gloria and the gang. I might even take a weekend break in Comfort!
