The Season of Silver Linings by Christine Nolfi
5.0
It's time for another trip to Sweet Lake and the Wayfair Inn - where love can be found with a little help from the Sirens.
This installment focuses primarily on Jada and her relationship with Philip - it may start off as just friends but it isn't going to stay that way for long and it will not be an easy road as they both have baggage tied to his first wife, Bodi, but for different reasons. I felt for Jada in many respects. Her partners in the Inn have gotten married (or are getting married in Linnie's case) and aren't focusing on their jobs but rather letting Jada shoulder the load. I don't want to say that Linnie and Cat are selfish, but in a way they are. But who could blame them as they are caught up in love and a new beginning in their lives.
This book has a few surprises too, so don't think it is will be a light read. I was quite surprised at a few turns of events and amazed at how in tune the Sirens are in town are and how they seem to know the right thing to say, do, or give for each situation. But the Sirens do take care of their own and I really enjoyed that kinship between the women.
Possibly a character that almost stole the show is Fancy. She is Philip's daughter and she is quite precocious. She may be about 6, but she knows what she wants and I'm actually surprised at how much she is spoiled and given whatever she wants even if it isn't the best for her.
While this book is best read after the first two in the series, you could read this on its own and there are enough details to fill in most of the gaps. I say this too because it has been awhile since I read the first two books so I appreciated the extra background information to remind me of each character and their situation.
I just wish the book had given us the recipe for the rosemary cookies mentioned. They sounded delicious.
