Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Thank you @prhaudio @berkleyromance for a copy of the audiobook. This book is inspired by Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility which I have not read. Nora who learns upon her father's death that he had a secret family and inherits a rub down inn that she must renovate. She meets Bear who was running tours on the property. They agree to work together to help each other out. Their connection was great from the start and this was a slow burn. I love the dual POV and enjoyed the banter between the two. I found Nora's sister a little vapid and which she added more to the story. 

There were so many great scenes between Nora and Bear that really showed their attraction. The slow burn was worth it. The narrators both did a great job portraying their individual problems and their growth
