The Innkeeper's Sister: A Romance Novel by Linda Goodnight

4.0

When you live in a place where you have plantations that survived the Civil War and families stretch back even farther, it's almost impossible to pay homage to the present without considering the past. I tend to avoid books that jump back and forth between times but I do have to say that Ms. Goodnight did an excellent job of interviewing the stories.



What I really enjoyed however were the characters themselves. Valery is broken and punishing herself. Because of that, she isn't able to see herself as the strong and beautiful woman who just needs a bit of help which is how Grayson sees her. Now Grayson is the total opposite of Valerie with his cell phone, spreadsheets and alarms but he can't help be be attracted to her. Heck that attraction started when he was just a teenager and even though he hasn't seen her in years, it appears to have just grown stronger.



Now I do recommend that my readers sit down with a glass of peach tea and help to unravel the mysteries from the past as well as discover what Valerie is hiding. This was a very enjoyable contemporary romance with well developed characters, witty dialogue and questions.
