She can’t change what’s come before. But letting go could bring healing—and the rare love that comes once in a lifetime.
When Ohio pastry chef Jada Brooks and her two best friends restored the glorious Wayfair Inn, it was a boon to Sweet Lake—and to their own lives. Now Linnie and Cat are focused on private matters: one engaged, the other swept up in newlywed bliss. Jada has also begun looking to the future by dating widower Philip Kettering and forging a sudden, sweet bond with his six-year-old daughter.
But the past isn’t finished with Jada. When a curious guest checks into the Wayfair, her delving questions stir Jada’s guilt about the heartbreaking events that scarred the town seven years ago. The risks Jada must take by revealing the truth will test every assumption she’s made about the meaning of family and the magic of enduring love.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Author/Publisher and was under no obligation to post a review, positive or negative.
This is my first Christine Nolfi novel, and it certainly won’t be my last! I loved this book, though it’s the 3rd book in her Sweet Lake series. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this, but what I got was a beautiful surprise! She hooked me instantly, and kept me there until the last page was turned.
I loved the beautifully chiseled characters of Sweet Lake. They are filled with depth and emotion, and came to life for me. I loved the Sirens! They were quirky and fun, with their matching making. Jada and Phillip are absolutely captivating and I loved watching their story unfold. I also loved sweet Fancy! I wanted to give her so many hugs!
Nolfi’s writing style is blended with lots of emotions, tender characters and a message of hope and understanding. From start to finish, you’ll fly through this book, settling in at the Wayfair Inn like you’re a long time guest there. Nolfi will capture you, heart and soul, and make you want more of her incredible 4 star work. I can’t wait to read the first books, and I look forward to more stories from this talented author.
