The Inn Dilemma
The last thing I expected to do when I returned home after years away was fall for my brother’s best friend.
I left my small town four years ago and didn’t look back. When I return with my tail between my legs after breaking up with my controlling yet commitment-fearing boyfriend, I’m surprised by the warmth I find at The Storybook Inn. The owner, Aunt Birdie, embraces me with open arms and gives me a place to stay when my dad turns me away. Unfortunately for me, Dad is more stubborn than ever. He still thinks my dream of becoming a great artist is too far-fetched to be possible and maybe it is. But if I’ve learned anything in this last year, it’s that God’s plans won’t be thwarted. Something that proves true when God uses an accident at Storybook Inn to facilitate Aunt Birdie’s dream.
The Navy SEALs prepared me for a lot of things, but moving back to my small town with a well-meaning meddling aunt is not one of them. Aunt Birdie wastes no time playing matchmaker when she sends me to a cabin to fix an alleged leaky faucet without telling me it’s inhabited by my best friend’s gorgeous prodigal sister. Nova and I are both coming out of painful break-ups, a whirlwind romance is the last thing either of us wants. But falling for her is inevitable when she jumps in to renovate my family’s legacy, The Storybook Inn, without hesitation. With every bike ride we go on, every room we renovate together, every accidental touch, I can’t help but dive headfirst into the whirlwind anyway.
Until one “fake kiss” threatens to destroy us both.

Every story she writes contains a guaranteed happily ever after. Real life has no guarantees of happiness, but she can control her fictional worlds. Sort of. Her characters like to take her on several roller coaster rides of uncertainties, daily.
When she’s not writing, she’s tending to the house, playing with her kids, or on those rainy, lazy days, curled up with a good book and cup of coffee (probably with too much creamer.)

Sweet story! Likeable characters with a few despicable ones naturally, but that was needed for the plot anyway so added to it. The relationships were believable/realistic enough and the ones with relatives besides. I often wonder why some guys are leery of their friends dating their sisters....probably the best ones in a sense anyway as they know what they are made of so to speak. Yet it could affect a friendship if the dating ones break up....anyway....
I enjoyed the book and was pleased with this new to me author with her Christian elements and themes mentioned throughout! A feel good one with a happy ending. Well worth recommending to anyone sure as wholesome with great examples :)

Actual rating: 4.5 stars.
I have enjoyed the Give a Bookish Girl a Biker series so much. And this last installment, The Inn Dilemma, was no exception. The Inn Dilemma was one of the meatiest of the series, dealing with some tough topics while still maintaining the humor, romance, and sense of joy that has so permeated the entire series. It’s also one of the most faith-heavy installments, in both internal thoughts and in the dialogue. I found it to be a satisfying conclusion to an overarching story that was strong from start to finish.
Nova Price is the prodigal daughter of a wealthy, powerful family. We first see her mentioned in the book that opens the series, The Backpack Bride, as the wayward sister of the male lead in that story, Christian Price, heir-apparent to a huge corporation. After cutting herself off from her family and living abroad in Paris for four years, the prodigal has returned. Because that prodigal has found Jesus. Having had such a radical heart transformation, she now wants to make things right with those she left behind. But is it too little, too late?
Nova is struggling to believe that she is truly a new creation, that there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. Especially when everyone wants to bludgeon her with the sins of her past. Everyone but Reese and Aunt Birdie and, of course, Holt, who has always seen her for who she is at the core. She's more than the rich, pampered princess she was raised to be, or the ritzy mistress she became when she ran away from home. She's a talented artist and a hard worker who just needs someone to believe in her and give her a safe place to spread her wings and fly. Aunt Birdie gives her that place, setting her to work at her bed and breakfast and encouraging her to dive back into her art.
Holt is Nova’s brother’s best friend, and Nova has been close to him since childhood. He’s another person she left behind, but he welcomes her back much more freely than her immediate family. Holt is a war hero, a Navy SEAL who was retired after losing an eye in action. That life of military service was all he ever imagined for himself, so he’s in a similar situation as Nova, trying to figure out who he is now and where to go from here. In the meantime, he’s the handyman at the aforementioned bed and breakfast. He’s an incredibly faithful Christian, and he’s allowing himself to be led by God to a new dream. He just never imagined that new dream might involve falling in love with his best friend’s sister.
One element of this story I really appreciated was the emphasis placed on healing and growth. There is a lot of healing in broken familial relationships, especially between Nova and Christian, and both of them with both of their parents. We see a marriage restored, and how much faith has to do with repairing all of the rifts. I also loved how faith forward this story was, and how vital faith was in the lives of the characters. The romance here is very sweet, as are the friendships. Relationships, be they between family members, friends, lovers, or a character and God, were the constant focus of the story.
The Inn Dilemma was a lovely endnote to the Give a Bookish Girl a Biker series. I hated to see this little world draw to a close, but the time I spent in it was absolutely delightful. It’s a series that I’ll be revisiting in its entirety when I’m seeking solace, when life feels hard or heavy. The entire series is now on my cozy, comfort reads shelf.

I adored this book! I always enjoy when characters already have a history, and these two had a great past to build on. I love the growth we saw for Nova, and the side characters really came to life. I'm ready for more of Tawni's books!

This story is brother’s best friend, redemptive, small town goodness! I loved the flashbacks, the healing, the swoon, the faith, and Holt’s Aunt Birdie so very much! Plus, an artist FMC is always a winner in my book—add in a medically discharged Navy SEAL with a heart of gold and you just can’t lose.
A beautiful and swoon-worthy end to this fantastic series.

Book 5 in the Give the Bookish Girl a Biker series
Holt + Nova
This was a beautiful story of redemption & restoration. Holt has known Nova since childhood and he is best friends with her brother. Holt is an ex Navy Seal trying to find out where God wants him - and Nova has moved back home after a toxic relationship. It was so beautiful to see them reconnect. They have so much history & Holt has truly been there for her during some hard times with her childhood. She has a lot of hurt from her parents and Holt also deals with his own childhood trauma. Holt is humble and loves deeply. Nova is the prodigal daughter and doesn’t feel deserving of Holt’s love.
This was such a sweet Christian romance with so much depth. I loved all the friendships between the biker group and Holt’s Aunt Birdie was so fun! The sweet history story with the Inn was an added bonus! This is definitely a new favorite of mine from Tawni!
Quotes -
He’s my brother’s best friend. A war hero. And I’m the prodigal daughter.
“And you’re Nova Price. The woman who has always seen me for me. You’re the only person who’s looked at me and made me forget my scars. When you look at me, it’s as if you’re seeing me as I was and not the broken man I am now.”
I bottle up the undeniable attraction I feel for her and remind myself this is Nova Price, the girl I always looked out for. But she’s all grown up and far more beautiful than she has any business being. It’s painfully impossible to ignore.

If you want a book with a couple that shows what true love is, then read this book! You can tell from the start just how much she means to him. You can clearly see that he would do anything to protect her and she would do the same for him.
Holt was such a gentleman always respecting her wishes, earning the approval of her brother and eventually her dad. He is everything a Christian man should be!
But I especially loved how they cared for those around them. They showed the light of Jesus to their families and community which was beautiful to see.

The Inn Dilemma is the fifth and final book in the Give a Bookish Girl a Biker series. This is a multi-author interconnected series with each book centering around one member of a biking group (and the bookish girls they fall for). While you might have a better understanding of the group dynamics if you've read the previous books in the series, I do think this could be enjoyed as a standalone as well.
I have to admit, I'm a little sad to see this series come to an end. Oftentimes in a series (and especially in a multi-author series like this one), there will be a couple of books that will stand out above the rest... but this one? Every single book absolutely blew me away! This one was certainly no exception. Holt and Nova's story was absolutely beautiful, perfectly tender and swoony. I loved seeing their history through the occasional flashbacks to their younger years, which also gave us more insight into her complicated family life. As much as I loved the romance in their story, I found that the healing was perhaps even more beautiful too. It's also a story that didn't shy away from faith, making me love it all that much more. While I'm still sad to see the series come to an end, it truly went out just as it started--- on a high note that I loved. This is actually my first Tawni Suchy and I absolutely look forward to reading more from her after this introduction.
The Inn Dilemma is a closed-door Christian romance with kisses only and no language.
**ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own.

What an end to this series. I will miss these characters and their friend group dynamic. Speaking of these characters, Holt and Nova specifically. I LOVED THEM. That prodigal daughter execution was amazing. It was handled with discretion but sternness and I really appreciated that thread. Holt's character was perfect and exceeded my expectations from his cameos in the other books. I was a little wary about the flashback chapters at first because they are not my personal favorite to read, but these were timed well, more far and few between, and did really bring the present pieces together. This book felt a lot longer than it was, in a great way.
The early fall, inn grounds setting in that small mountain town....I could not get enough of how cozy that felt. This is my first book by this author and I could picture everything so well. There was something so cozy (what's another great word for cozy?) and down to earth about the aesthetic of this story. Nova and Holt's chemistry was definitely there right away. I love when authors get right into the story and share the background details along the way and this did that. Just enough of their history was given. I read this to soft and slower pop/indie music and it was great.
This had the strongest faith themes out of all five books and I was really really appreciative of the author's takes on a lot of it. There were a few tear jerkers in the final chapters that got me good. This was a great story to leave our biker guys and their women on. I wish these characters were my friends <3 (And I don't really ever have thoughts like that after reading fiction haha).
I was sent an eARC to read and review but these are my thoughts. Don't sleep on this series and read them in order!

Loved The Inn Dilemma, the last book in the Give a Bookish Girl a Biker series. This is an emotional story with a prodigal daughter returning home, a war hero, complicated family dynamics, and parents' expectations on their kids. This story is also about healing, forgiveness, and restoration, along with fixing up the inn. We get flashbacks into Nova's life and see the family dynamics and the expectations her parents put on her and Christian. We also see how Holt, who was raised by his uncle and aunt, came to be friends with Christian and Nova. I enjoyed how Holt was there for Nova as kids and adults. This was an awesome read with faith elements woven into the story.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Ugh! I hate rating books lower than 3 stars 😭 I really wanted to like this book, and was really excited for the childhood friends/brother’s best friend trope.
I did consider DNFing this one, but this is the last book of the series and I’m a completionist, so I had to see it all the way through.
I’ll start with what I liked, since I wouldn’t say that I hated this book. I really enjoyed how Holt and Nova had always been able to see past each other’s walls. That’s one of my favorite romance themes: characters feeling unseen, and then finding someone who sees them and loves them for who they really are at their core.
I loved the flashbacks too. Reading about their shared history and seeing younger Holt and Nova care about each other before they had romantic feelings was so sweet 🥰
I also appreciated the parallel restoration themes (the literal building restoration, personal restoration, and family restoration), even if the parallels were a little on-the-nose and sometimes repetitively pointed out.
Now for what I didn’t like and what made this book so hard to get through 😔 Firstly, I felt like there was just a lot going on, theme-wise, between the romance, Holt’s multiple personal issues, Nova’s multiple personal issues, Nova’s mom’s issues, Nova’s dad’s issues, the Inn’s issues. Due to this, the story felt disconnected for me. There was too much going on; too many stories in one, which I felt like took away from romance build-up. The build-up wasn’t as consistent in this book like it had been in the others.
Secondly, (DISCLAIMER: this is just my opinion, and I speak for myself only, not for all the Christians in the world), this book was super preachy, that it often made me cringe 😩. Look, I enjoy Christian romance fiction as much as the next person, but I did not feel like the faith themes were seamlessly woven into this story. As a result, I felt like I was taken out of the story a lot, making the story’s flow feel disconnected (again); I often had a hard time getting immersed into the book again because the “Christianese” was very prevalent (often unnecessarily so, in my opinion).
I was raised in church my whole life and have been a Christian for most of it, but couldn’t relate to how the believers in this book talked or thought about God and how He worked/moved in their lives (I didn’t have this much of a relatability issue with the faith of the other characters in the other books in this series). I felt like some of the faith messages were over-explained and repetitive.
To sum up my disappointment, I didn’t connect with this book like how I was hoping I would. This story had a lot of potential, but there were just too many themes that distracted me and pulled me out of the story. Also, many of the faith themes felt very forced and surface-level (and, again, repetitive; repetitiveness is one of my biggest pet peeves in books, no matter the genre).
I have not yet read any other books by this author, though some of them are on my TBR. I do still plan on reading them, as I’m not one to write off an author completely based on one book that just wasn’t for me.
I truly love that so many people loved this book! And I wish the author continued success 😊 I am just one woman, and this is just one woman’s honest opinion about one book 🤷🏽♀️

A brother’s best friend romance is always great. Holt and Nova were childhood friends and after years away, Nova is back and Holt is just as fantastic as ever. There are many facets to be healed and a lot of personal and faith expansion to be had and it was enjoyable to watch these two mesh together in the present, as well as through flashbacks to the past.
Both characters are equally strong, but in differing ways, and I liked the ways their strengths supported one another and allowed for acceptance and progress. The entire cast of supporting characters are wonderful, and I especially admired Holt’s Aunt Birdie.
This is an enjoyable story and series.

“I have no problem letting people know that I’m soft when it comes to you. Always have been and always will be.”
What a fun way to end the series! I’ve loved every minute I’ve spent with the “Give a bookish girl a biker” gang, and Holt and Nova were the perfect couple to close out the series.
The themes of forgiveness, and being the person God has called you to be really hit home for me and made the story that much more meaningful.
I’m sad to see this series co,e to an end, but I will for sure be rereading them often.

Awwww!
This whole series was a complete delight that I thoroughly enjoyed! I’m going to have a sweet romcom book hangover after these books!

First and foremost…I absolutely adore Tawni Suchi books and I truly appreciate how she never shies away from adding beautiful faith arcs into her novels and weaving them in seamlessly, however this one was a miss for me. I felt that there was way too much going on to really focus on the growth of the main MMC and FMC. I would have loved to see more of Holt’s healing journey with his PTSD struggles as well as Nova’s growth and focus on the Inn. I felt it was all overshadowed by side character struggles which I can understand why they were put in but it would have fit better if it was a longer novel.
That being said because I absolutely don’t like writing reviews like this, especially for authors I enjoy and I can’t wait to see what Tawni has in store next.

This book had everything I like... best friends to more, redemption arc, faith, smalltown, the whole inn thing, dogs and even an older meddling lady...
BUT IT FELT UNFINISHED.!
Like it didn't bake enough. It felt underdeveloped. What I loved about this book was the overcomplicated situations on every front...the prodigal daughter, the brother's best friend, the ex-navy SEAL, the parents' crumbling marriage, the dad's illness...but it's like everything was just touched upon, not thoroughly delved into. I needed more of it, the full exploration of everything and what it means for the characters. It all felt rushed.
Found myself skimming toward the end...
Also...Aunt Birdie was the poor lady who was pulled in to interrupt every time the characters were moving too fast.
Good story, with good potential. Just underbaked...

Wow! This book was such a wonderful book and delight to read. I loved Holt and Nova soooooo much!! There was so much depth and character growth.
Holt and Nova has the best tension and I loved how they tried to deny it because they were childhood friends. I could not get enough of Holt and Nova. Holt is sweet and strong and Nova was fierce and loyal. I loved the way Holt calms Nova just with his presence. He takes care of her and is her safe space. He was such a subtle flirt but I love the way he respects her but also proved he is attracted to her with sweet but swoony moves. And she really came into her own with the soft encouragement from Holt and Aunt Birdie.
The faith elements were done so well and woven in so well to the story and romance. And I loved the side characters, like the Aunt Birdie and Reese and the biker group. It was fun to see everyone again.
This series has been fantastic and I love it so much!!! It is bittersweet that it is over, I enjoyed each and every one of them but sad I am done.

This one was tough.
I think if I hadn’t read all the Denver Dragon books and then all of these books in this series I might have liked it a little better.
This book just doesn’t fit in.
All of the previous books to me may have had tough subjects but they were very fun, lighthearted, funny and this just felt heavy.
Also all the other books really focused on both main characters and their story.
This was HEAVY on Nova’s past and her family.
Holt is 6 yrs older and it’s weird to keep drawing attention to that. When you’re an adult it doesn’t really matter.
Going back to when he was 12 and she was 6 or he was 16 and she was 10 made it more awkward.
It really took away from the current timeline and what Holt and Nova were now feeling.
I wish there had been more moments with just them and how they fell in love.
Overall still a great series wish there was more.

“Thank you for seeing me.”
It’s a funny thing about knowing Jesus—it changes us without us even realizing it.
“Nova, stop!”
I turn to face him. His stormy expression takes my breath away. “I did all of this for you. I’m not dating anyone or remotely interested in anyone el—“ He clears his throat.
Without thinking about it, I close the distance between us and wrap my arms around his neck. I’m awkwardly perched halfway between his leg and the chair, but not for long. Holy pulls me fully on his lap and hugs me back so tightly that a few of the shattered pieces of my heart start to stitch back together.
Holt rests his forehead against mine once I pull back.
“You will always have me, SuperNova I promise you that.”
“How do you do that?” He asks, his voice low and gravelly.
“Do what?” I ask, embarrassingly breathless.
“Make me believe things I have no business believing.”
I lift a shoulder. “I think it’s less about what I can do and more about how you know you can trust me to be honest even when you may not actually want that honesty. The same as you are with me.”
“You trust me?”
“With my life.”

I loved this book! It’s the last book in the give a bookish girl a biker series, which is bitter sweet. I have loved every single one of the books in this series. I loved the flashback chapters and getting to actually see what happened to Holt and Nova versus just being told it. I feel like you really got to see what shaped them as a person in the present and really understand the characters more and the trauma they experienced growing up.
I loved their romance it was sweet and tender. I loved seeing them heal from past trauma and how they leaned on their faith throughout the book. This was my first book I have read from Tawni Suchy and it will not be my last.

The Inn Dilemma is the fifth and final book of the Give a Bookish Girl a Biker series - a multi author series of interconnected standalones.
Nova is sort of the “prodigal daughter” and while not everyone welcomes her home with open arms, I loved this coming home aspect of the story and that Nova was able to mend broken and strained relationships, to apologize and also to forgive herself.
I’m a huge fan of strong sibling relationships and getting to know Christian through book one made the reconciliation between these two siblings even sweeter. Christian is a wonderful brother to Nova and while Holt is his best friend, there’s not this “don’t touch my sister” overly protective thing going on in this brother’s best friend romance.
Holt was mostly a mystery in the last books, we don���t get to know him that much in the previous parts of the series. But we do now and he is a great character with a lot of trauma of his own. He’s strong and kind, caring and absolutely loyal.
It’s a story about healing and redemption and I loved the faith journey’s of the characters.
— minor spoiler ahead — I do have to say my favorite part was how Nova’s father made amends for his faults as a father, as a husband and how he found his way (back?) to Jesus and how this seemingly broken marriage could be saved and restored. — end spoiler —
I absolutely enjoyed this book, it’s a wonderful and kind of bittersweet conclusion to the GaBGaB series which I recommend wholeheartedly!

4.5 stars
I can’t believe that this series has come to an end, it has been such a fun series to read. This was such a sweet book to read. I loved getting to see some old characters too. The Inn Dilemma is written by Tawni Suchy and it is the sixth and final book in the Give a Bookish Girl a Biker multi author series.
Nova had a lot of trauma that she had to work through and she really felt like the Prodigal Son. I liked getting to know Nova and see her grow throughout the book. She had to learn to see herself redeemed. I loved Nova's character and her artistic talents, that was a fun part to read about.
Holt was such a sweetheart. He was such a tough guy, but he cared deeply for his people. He had his own experiences to work through but he had learned to trust God. Holt's childhood affected how he viewed the world and I love how it motivated him to do good.
The romance was sweet. Holt and Nova had spent their childhood together, but life and decisions had pulled them apart. I love how they became each other’s person. They helped lift each other up and point each other to Christ. Holt's puppies were also a fun addition to the book. The story was definitely interesting. I wanted to see how they would fix up the inn and how Nova's relationship with her family would change.
I would totally recommend this book! I adored these characters and it was cool to see some old characters too. The book was engaging and I didn't want the story to end. The Inn Dilemma is a closed door contemporary Christian romance

✨I had the absolute joy of being an ARC reader for The Inn Dilemma by Tawni Suchy—and let me tell you, this one was a delight from start to finish! All thoughts are my own, but I’m shouting them from the mountaintops (or at least from this cozy Colorado town)!
This story gave me all the late-summer-into-fall vibes: warm, charming, and full of small-town goodness. Nova and Holt’s chemistry? Rooted in lifelong friendship and totally swoon-worthy. I’m talking toe-tingling, squeal-out-loud, feet-kicking kisses—the kind that make you pause and say, “Okay, Lord, I see You working in fictional love stories too!”
I also adored the nods to other modern Christian books woven into the story. As a reader (and cheerleader for fellow believers in the arts), I loved seeing that sense of community and encouragement among authors.
But what really made this story shine? The faith. Raw, real, and deeply moving. Life isn’t always tied up with a bow, and neither is forgiveness or healing—but through Jesus, restoration is possible. Tawni handled these themes with grace, honesty, and a heart rooted in the Gospel.
If you’re into:
🤍 Brother’s Best Friend trope
🏍️ Biker romance with a clean twist
🎨 Artistic heroines
🐾 Dog dads
🛠️ Restoration themes
📖 Friends-to-lovers vibes
🙏 Strong faith woven throughout
Then this book is for you. Grab your copy of The Inn Dilemma now—available on Kindle Unlimited, ebook, paperback, or signed paperback!

Restoration leads to redemption, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, in this lovely capstone story of the Give a Bookish Girl a Biker series.
Be prepared to feel ALL the feelings as The Inn Dilemma follows the "prodigal daughter," Nova, when she returned home after making a series of bad decisions and had cut off her friends and family. Nova is an interesting and relatable character; she is justified in many of her feelings, but they don't necessarily justify her choices. Enter strong and reliable Holt, her brother's best friend, who sees past her pain, and just sees HER.
The really beautiful part of this friends-to-more, brother's BFF romance is how faith drives the healing and mends what is broken. Nova and Holt both have some major baggage they bring to the table, and where it could be used for evil, God uses it for good. I was so inspired by their romance, several of the sacrifices in the story by them and others, and the importance of family (or found-family). I was moved to tears many times by the events of the story, and I so love a romcom that is gritty with feeling.
I've loved this entire series and the cast of characters we've gotten to meet through this biker "gang." I'm so sad it's over, but thankful I can revisit them any time, in any order, when the mood strikes! 🏍

The Inn Dilemma is the final installment in the Give a Bookish Girl a Biker Series! If you’re looking for sweet romances, relatable characters, the love of Jesus and all the romance to be had, then this is the series to binge!
This book spoke to my heart in a lot of different ways, but the most powerful way this book helped me was by portraying a character who feels like the prodigal child. I’ve lived in the shadow of that for a long time, but seeing Nova’s growth and God’s goodness in her life, helped me so much.
Nova and Holt have both been through so much, and still God never left. I think that’s one of the beautiful themes in this book. That and the fact that this is not only a brother’s best friend romance but ALSO a friends to lovers romance. Which as we know, is very dear to my heart!
To the author, thank you so much for writing Nova, for putting real emotions into your characters. I loved absolutely every single ounce of this book and I seriously wish I could have kept reading! You guys need to not only read this book but all of her other books—she’s just so good!
If you’re looking for closed door romance that focuses on Jesus, while still giving you a good biker romance, then this is the book for you!

First let me say that this is the last book in the “give a girl a bookish girl a biker” multi author book series and boy am I sad to leave these characters world, this group of bikers and their backpacks have been a great escape for me these last few months and I’m so thankful to have received these ARCS! “THE INN DILEMMA” Is a true story of redemption! There was so much in this story to keeps you hooked, from nova’s past relationships, to her parents tumultuous marriage, to holts relationship with his parents, to the history of inn I was thoroughly immersed into both Holt and Novas backstory equally. And then we have holts military background and the disability representation! One thing I love about Tawnis writing is her authentic look at a journey of faith in this book, Nova was honest with herself and holt about her past and her new journey to becoming a true woman of God and I think that that’s something a lot of people can relate to, their relationship was so sweet and well timed. And that ending! I definitely didn’t see it coming lol, I loved every minute of it!

This was a beautiful conclusion to a wonderful series. This book was full of friends and family and plenty of flirting. It also had heartwarming redemption moments.
Nova returns home after running away to Paris five years before. Holt (her brother’s best friend) and his aunt are the welcome she needs. Holt and Nova reconnect and then share an unplanned kiss. What will her brother say? Was it too soon for Nova’s healing heart?
Highlights:
Holt carrying Nova
The girls book talk
Holt’s birthday gift for Nova
I love Nova for being bold and creative. I love that she is classic and loves Audrey Hepburn.
I love Holt for being loyal and steady. I love seeing his drive to help others.
“Nova’s eyes light up as she looks at me. I wish I knew if her reaction is because of me or my bike.
But for the sake of my emotions and potential damaging false hope, I tell myself it’s because of the bike.”

I was an ARC reader for this book. All following opinions are my own.
This was another great book by Tawni Suchy! It had all the cozy late summer/autumn feelings along with a friendly small town atmosphere. I enjoyed Nova and Holt’s chemistry rooted in lifelong friendship. Their kisses were feet-kicking and squeal worthy! SWOON!!
I also appreciated the mentions of other modern Christian books within the story. I liked the support for other writers shown there by the author.
Last but not least, the faith themes within this story were authentic, heartfelt and honest. Life is not easy, and neither is forgiveness and reconciliation. But it is made possible with Jesus Christ.
This book had it all: brother’s best friend trope, biker romance, a little history, chemistry, clean romance, and deep Christian faith elements. Highly recommend!!

If you've read Book 1 of this series then, Nova our FMC, is Christian Price's younger sister, and her love story with Holt is the sweetest.
Tawni touches some difficult subjects. However, she handles them with care and grace. The faith storyline is perfectly interwoven with the overall novel, and Holt's dogs are the cutest!
If you enjoy small town romance with bookish ladies, biker but yet wonderful guys, then I'll sure you'll enjoy the Inn Dilemma.
As this series comes to a close, I'm sad to see the end of these great friendships and their adventures. All the authors in this series have created a wonderful collection of stories.

I loved this last book in the Give a Bookish Girl a Biker series! Tawni wove together an amazing story of love, second chances, and faith. I felt like I was in the story, and my heart went through all the emotions with Nova. Each author in this series is so talented, and they all wove together individual stories of faith, family, and friendship with varying storylines and a wide variety of main characters. But put them.all together in a series, and they stand even stronger. Tawni was a strong finish, and tied the series together with a perfect end. The Inn Dilemma is a must read! While you're at it, grab the others and start at the beginning!
