untold, the last book in the country roads series, starts off soon after the death of bethelda grimshaw, mirabelle's town meanie. seriously, there is no better way to describe her. bethelda has no redeeming qualities, something bree davis, her biological daughter discovers as she finds herself in mirabelle sorting out bethelda's things.
for some mysterious reason known only to bethelda, she left everything to the daughter she gave up for adoption 28 years ago. bree had looked her up when she turned 18 and had been summarily rejected by bethelda so her inheritance was a shock. arriving in mirabelle she's also shocked to discover some crazy chemistry with town veterinarian and part-time bartender finn shepherd. she's also shocked by the animosity so many people felt toward her biological mother and how easily they transfer that animosity to her.
finn is actually guilty of this. though he realizes he's being an ass while he does it. and while they spend a handful of chapters after the reveal at odds with each other, finn finally gets his head on straight and decides to break all his dating rules and spend time with bree. because the truth is he really likes her.
this is a small town romance and also the last in a series, so we do also get to spend some quality time with characters who have already found their own happily ever afters and who can't stop themselves from getting into other people's business. it's always a fine line for me on how much small town quirkiness and nosiness i can stand, this one comes on a little strong at first, but eases up once finn and bree really go all-in on their relationship and then i was pretty much good with it.
