Soooooo cheesy! 🧀 Which is why I'm LOVING this lighthearted series! There's enough negativity and sadness in the world. Let's laugh more and fall in love.
This is the third in a series. It did remind me of a cheesy Hallmark movie but what is wrong with a little lightness in the world? It sure beats the negativity being spewed by the current political scene.
I listened to this book and it kept me entertained. The reveals were plausible.
Ariel is opening her new restaurant which is connected to her Bed & Breakfast. A stranger shows up asking for a room; she turns out to be Miles' ex-wife.
The story took a few unexpected pleasant turns. I was happy with the ending. It left the story in a upbeat feeling.
Wow all the twist and turns! This just keeps you wonder what is next! Also who is here and why! Finally gives some but not all of why her dad left and I am sure she will get to the bottom of it all including the mayor! I am so happy that she finally so in love with Miles. Can't wait to read the next book!!!!
This was an interesting continuation of the story of Ariel as she is getting ready to open her new restaurant, connected to her B&B. A stranger shows up asking for a room and it turns out to be Miles' ex-wife. In spite of that, Ariel and Emily become friends and Emily, who is a horticulturist, completely transforms the old garden site. A lovely story.
a lot of predictable moments, a lot of editing mistakes. the story itself was enjoyable, and I do want to complete the series. it feels often like a lot of the situations are too quickly resolved, which doesn't feel very realistic. it is a quick read and not overly complex. I do like the character development of Ariel throughout the series so far
I have to say I am into the series. I still love the descriptions and the challenging situations Arial and team find themselves in are relateable.. this has been an entertaining book series.
This book has a bit of everything. Mystery, romance, heart break, laughs, friendship and more. It's hard to put down, because you need to know what will happen next.
