Dad’s attention to me didn’t equate to affection. So, here we were. A prestigious lawyer. A famous actor. A wealthy widow. One big, wildly dysfunctional family.

🏡 …and Lou who will keep them all together…

I’ve been a fan of Rebecca’s. I started with The Vigilantes and have continued with The Kinkades. Rebecca has a fantastic way of blending a quirky small-town family with characters I can’t help but fall in love with. I’ve been waiting to read Lou’s story, and I was not disappointed. Lou has such an incredible capacity for caring, for putting other people first, that she will almost always set what she needs or wants aside.

I was in a constant state of anxiety for this woman, who had once been content to let her twin take the spotlight, is now suddenly shoved into center stage. Lou brings out all my emotions as she struggles to hold on to the only dream she believes she’ll ever have. While others find love and romance, Lou has her beloved inn, the guests she takes care of, and her very eclectic family. But Wade, observant and discerning, can see the real Lou that she tries to hide behind her constantly effervescent twin.

This is Lou and Wade’s chance at a forever love if they can be honest with each other, themselves, and their family. What started as a miscommunication tumbles into a series of half-truths and relentless paparazzi that can’t leave Lou and her unintentional fake boyfriend alone.

💌 Favorite Moments:

🖇 I felt something for Wade that I’d never felt before for anyone. A yearning I tried to ignore—tried to box up and put aside like I’d done with so many other wants over the course of my life, but it wouldn’t let me. He wouldn’t let me.

🖇 She didn’t see that she was the glue between all of them. The one that brought all their different edges together. That flowed through the rough patches and sharp corners.
