Book a vacation at a lovely inn.... what could possibly go wrong? Paige is workaholic and with Valentine’s day coming up, has decided to celebrate SAD- or rather, Singles Appreciation Day. She stumbles upon a listing of a very relaxing and cozy inn and decides, to book a vacation! Inn owner and widower, Lucas has closed his inn and is trying to deal with raising his daughter and barely staying above financially. When his sister relists his inn as available and someone actually takes up the offer he is more than a little put off, and so begins our story. This story definitely reminded me of the movie Leap Year (with Matthew Goode and Amy Addams) except rather than the female lead going off to propose to her fiancee, Paige is trying to get over her ex-fiancee, the story includes a cute but grumpy inn-keeper, a tragic past relationship, being forced to stay in a place due to bad weather/no transportation, and helping a business come back into business and of course two people who start off on the wrong foot falling in love with each other. HOWEVER, the big difference here, is that I just could not connect to Lucas as a romance interest... hear me out. Lucas has a dying inn business and a four year old daughter, he knows that he barely has enough to last the next three months, BUT when he gets a customer (Paige) he immediately is... well... an ass. I completely understand that he is dealing with grief and is stressed, but he was just given a payday that would help him manage to stay afloat and he immediately tosses her out the door, sir do you not want to be financially stable and be in business?? I loved Paige, she was tough, caring, and was an overall really nice person. She was considerate and I would have her same reaction if I paid 3x the price for a vacation and when I get there, it looks like a dump and not what I believed I was told or advertised, and the moment I step into the place I am met with a rude person who essentially tells me to gtfo. SOOOOOO, you can see why I had to knock off some points. I loved Paige but Lucas was just not for me. I adored his daughter Maddie and the overall story was sweet and a fun read. So, yes do get check this out if you’re looking for a fun romance read with a grumpy guy and a sweet workaholic.
