Reviews for the Book
Samantha Blacker can't imagine living any where but the big city. But she's lost her job and she's being stalked by a neighbor who she dated only briefly. A chance once a year meeting with a gentleman named Bo, who she thought attended the restaurant convention as a supplier, leaves her inheriting his inn. She's convinced herself she'll only stay for the year required in the will until she finds the place at Big Fork Lake very much to her liking. And one other thing she is finding she likes very much is Noah Frye. They get off to a rocky start but their love grows. Sam is reluctant to trust the Lord as Bo always told her to but Noah is willing to show her the way. Sam learns to strengthen that trust when it becomes obvious someone is trying to do her harm. Noah vows to stay by her side and but she fears she'll lose him if she'll have to leave the place she's grown to love. I really enjoyed this novel. I was definitely worried things might not turn out well for Sam, but she's a fighter. Mary Ball did a superior job with the suspense and the descriptive painting of the surroundings. - Victoria Pitts Caine
