About the Book:

Marie Carrington is running from a host of bad memories. Broke and desperate, she's hoping to find safety and sanctuary on Prince Edward Island, where she reluctantly agrees to help decorate a renovated bed-and-breakfast before it opens for prime tourist season.

Seth Sloane didn't move three thousand miles to work on his uncle's B&B so he could babysit a woman with a taste for expensive antiques and a bewildering habit of jumping every time he brushes past her. He came to help restore the old Victorian--and to forget about the fiancée who broke his heart.

The only thing Marie and Seth agree on is that getting the Red Door Inn ready to open in just two months will take everything they've got. Can these two wounded souls find hope, healing, and perhaps a bit of romance on this beautiful island?

Step into the Red Door Inn, a lovely home away from home tucked along the north shore of fabled Prince Edward Island. It's a place where the wounded come to heal, the broken find forgiveness, and the lonely find a family. Won't you stay for the season?




My Rating & Thoughts:    ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book takes three people each dealing issues and puts them working together on a common goal, getting the B&B ready to open. Marie is scared of getting close to people, Seth is hesitant to trust and is suspicious of Marie, Jack is dealing with the loss of his wife and is trying to make her goal of the inn a success but is struggling. Marie has gone through a life-changing event and when her father should have been there for her he tried to use her. Thankfully Marie meets Jack who shows her what a father's love should look like and shows her how much God loves her. Even though Marie is scared for what will happen to her, she does whatever she needs to do to help out others. I loved the humor and sarcastic banter back and forth between the characters. The addition of the little notes back and forth between two characters was fun. I found myself looking forward to these moments. I feel like I really got to know these characters and grew to love each of them. I absolutely loved the setting of PEI, it is such a beautiful island and the author did a wonderful job of portraying the beauty and character of the island. I felt like I was right there with them. With the help of Marie and Seth, will the inn get open on time? Will Seth deal with his trust issues? Will Marie find the family she needs? Read to find out. I look forward to reading more of this series.
