Bound to get back to work soon, she plans for a short visit but her mother and the town of Hope Harbor seem to have other plans. Will Matt be able to pull off saving his sister one more time, and Vienna may not have to look far for her next career. I really enjoyed this novel. I loved the various characters, as they all brought depth to the story line and I loved how the author wound them all together for a light hearted message about a community working to help each other. This sounds like my type of place!
Thank you to Revell Fiction and the author for the complementary novel. This review is of my own opinion and accord.

Synopsis:
Vienna Price never intended to return for more than a passing visit to Oregon and all the bad memories she’d left behind. But when your career tanks, home is where you go to nurse your wounds and chart a new course. Only temporarily, of course–because as much as she loves her quirky mom, anything more than a short stay would drive them both crazy.
A trip to Oregon isn’t in Matt Quinn’s plans, either, until a perfectly timed appeal for help arrives from his sister. What better place to decompress after a shattering loss than a quiet, seaside town named Hope Harbor? But R&R isn’t on the agenda when he arrives to find his sister’s new enterprise on life support.
Vienna, however, may have just the skills needed to resuscitate the foundering B&B–if Matt can convince her to hang around long enough to mend an inn . . . and his heart.
