The story line was cute, but the book felt like it dragged on too long. Also, Henry has apparently liked Lou since he first saw her, but we have no real reason as to why Henry likes Lou. Their relationship was sweet and I did like Henry, but it all felt so sudden. I do feel like this author has a lot of potential though. I will definitely keep an eye on her.  ❝ I came because I have this new ailment where I feel sick if I haven’t seen you in a few days.❞ A bed-and-breakfast for the brokenhearted might hold the key to another chance at love in…

I tried really hard to get into this one but it was just a major struggle for me. DNF. St. Medard’s Bay, Alabama is famous for three things: the deadly hurricanes that regularly sweep into town, the Rosalie Inn, a century-old hotel that’s survived every one of those storms, and Lo Bailey, the local girl infamously accused of the murder of her lover, political scion Landon Fitzroy, during Hurricane Marie in 1984. When Geneva Corliss, the current owner of the Rosalie Inn, hears a writer is coming to town to research the crime that put St. Medard’s Bay on the map, she’s less interested in solving a whodunnit than in…

The burn was just too slow, and it carried on for too long. I never fully connected with Tate and Jordan as a couple nor as an individual character either.
