Rating: 5 out of 5

I don’t think I’ve read a Nora Roberts book before but I got this as a free kindle book offer. I really enjoyed it. I read it mainly on a train to Hull to see Mum in hospital and then at the hospital whilst sitting at Mum’s bedside and finally in a hotel whilst trying to take my mind of Mum being in hospital. So the theme here is I needed distraction. And this provided it perfectly. Good characters, a good central focus - the inn - that I enjoyed watching take shape and a blossoming romance to help me shed a few tears.

The right book at the right time.

Highlighted passage:

“I don’t know if it helps, but I know when we lost Dad, we were all just numb, I guess. Just taking a step at a time dealing with all the horrible, practical things you have to deal with. Eventually you find yourself in another place. Some of it’s familiar, some of it’s not. You make something else out of it, and you know you couldn’t have without the person you lost.”
