Beth Randall is on her fourth year of life after marriage and has succeeded in turning the old family home into a cozy bread and breakfast. Sure things are a little tight financially, but what new business isn’t that way in the beginning? Unfortunately, Beth is surrounded by secrets: mysterious bones in the basement, her aunt’s fiancé who mysteriously disappeared fifty years ago and a chef who’s afraid to be interviewed by the local newspaper. When Dr. Brad Donovan arrives at the bed and breakfast looking for his missing father who was last seen at the inn, Beth is torn between Brad’s pointed questions about the inn and the depth of her attraction to the doctor. Is she ready to open herself to someone for the first time after her divorce or will the doctor’s probing reveal these secrets shattering her life.
This book is filled with secrets and conflicts. Millie manages to keep all of them up in the air through most of the story. However, the ending was a little weak as she waited until the last moment to wrap things up. And, when she did wrap them up they fell into place a little too easily. Still, Millie created a story that’s definitely worth reading.
Details: HQN, April 2006
Bottom line: A pretty good book
