Why I Read This Book?
I was asked by this author earlier to take a look at her beta read and since this author writes such amazing novels I wanted to see if this novel was as good as the rest of her reads. Well, I found reading "Serenity Inn" and seeing it all coming together was really something to read about. I have read all of this author novels and guess what?....this one was not any different...it was simply a amazing read that anyone can sit back and enjoy.
What I Liked:
This was definitely one of those reads that will catch and keep your attention to the very end. This author really knows to keep your attention as she sweetly delivers to her readers this well written romantic script. The story line was simple...with two people who were suffering....Lindsay Morgan and Dr. Chad Lewis. Bringing these two together took some intriguing steps taken by this author where we find Lindsay "is living a life full of secrets and resentment" and most of all not wanting to be controlled by another man. Why was this? Chad had " has been living with secrets of his own and his past is constantly haunting him concerning one fateful moment that ended his career." Chad's plans had been to explain about the anonymous check...'confess, apologize and leave but that had not happened. Why was that?
We find from the beginning of the story that Lindsay is trying to get it all together for her opening up her bed and breakfast there in Virginia. Guess who will come to her rescue and that is all I will say about that. I liked how this author was able to get these two people together and seeing them fall in love was sweet but before that could happen secrets and trust issues will have to come out. How this was delivered to the reader was so smoothly presented. I don't want to tell too much more about "Serenity Inn" because I was you to pick it up and see for yourself how this author brings it all out to the reader. In the end will Linds and Chad become lovers? Well, I guess we will have to pick up this authors next series to find out.
What I Didn’t Liked:
There was not any part of "Serenity Inn" that I did not like....well other than having to wait to see what will happen in the next series with Lindsay and Chad.
Overall Impression:
Overall, "Serenity Inn" was beautifully well written with the two main characters and with interesting secondary characters that were well presented and will definitely draw you into this story. One of my favorite character was Cook.
Lindsay had been a lot and opening a bread and breakfast was helping her through a difficult time. In walks Chad who is also going through some difficulties in his life. This story is about second chances at life and love. I was drawn in from the very beginning and I loved the concept of the story. I can't wait to see how things turn out for them.
Loved this book, a great story about two people who are trying to learn to forgive themselves for the things that they’ve done in the past. Although Lindsay didn’t really have anything to forgive herself for seeing as she wasn’t the one who, nah I’m not going to say it – don’t want to give away any spoilers. Looking forward to reading book two, and catching up with Lindsay, Chad and cook, off course. Great characters in this book and I hope to learn more about all of them.
Nikki Walker is going to make me go buy myself a hotel somewhere. The second chance diva has done it again. I was on pins and needles most of this story waiting for the bomb to drop. And when it did, instead of feeling relief my chest tightened with the possibilities of what would happen. I love Nikki’s writings her characters are so vivid that they live both on and off the pages! Loved this book!
I enjoyed reading this book about love, second chances and redemption. Each character was given a background that intertwined with the main characters of Lindsay and Chad. The bonding and friendship was amazing. I enjoyed the thrilling beginning and the calm ending. Relaxation in book form. On to Part Two
