When the glamorous Jessica London arrives in Bella Beach, she brings more than just designer luggage—she brings the threat of change. Tasked with acquiring Bella Beach’s beloved Butterfly Inn for her family’s luxury hotel chain, she sees only profits and potential. But to Sara, her friends, and everyone who loves Bella Beach, the inn is the soul of their little town.
Miriam, the inn’s devoted owner, is ready to retire, but her heart aches at the thought of handing her life’s work to a corporation that will strip away its charm. As Sara rallies the community to protect what they hold dear, the women clash in a battle of heart versus business. Yet, the longer Jessica stays, the more she begins to see that perhaps the life she left behind isn’t the life she really wants.
With the tide of change threatening everything Sara loves, can the Butterfly Inn—and Bella Beach itself—be saved by love, loyalty, and a leap of faith?
A heartwarming seaside story about family, friendship, and finding where you truly belong.
Butterfly Inn by Kate Wentworth is the first book in her new series, Butterfly Lane. It is set in the same location as the Bella Beach series she just wrapped up and includes many of the same characters as that series.
I enjoyed the book; it was a fun, quick read. I did feel that she spent a lot of time setting things up and explaining who everyone was, but that’s not unexpected when starting a series.
