Not my favorite Shalvis by far. With three POVs and the grief subplot alongside the "we must renovate this B&B for the will of the dead elder," it just left me feeling meh. I wanted some more heat (mostly closed door) and I just miss Shalvis mass markets.

As a women's fiction, it is a solid one and if you like the other books in the series this will also work for you.

Full review for Library Journal to come; thank you to the publisher for the ARC

CW: death of a brother/boyfriend (car accident, in the past), death of parents (in the past), grief, drinking
