★★★★★"A beautiful story of brokenness, forgiveness, and second chances."" -- Reviewer
If my mother thought that restoring the run down family inn would break me, she was wrong.
The hardest part of falling in love with the small town of Magnolia and my grumpy handyman is knowing at some point, I'm going to have to sell the inn and leave.
Maggie
My ex-husband left me for my best friend. I'm 36, unemployed, and about to be evicted. My only option is to ask my estranged mother for help. She offers me a deal: fix up the run down family inn on the small island of Magnolia and any of the proceeds I can make off the sale, will be mine to invest.
Determined to start believing in myself, I roll into town with an unhealthy amount of optimism. The only person who is going to stop me, is me. That is, until I meet my grumpy handyman. He has more walls built up around his heart than the three story inn I'm restoring, but I'm determined to break them down. Even if he's determined to stop me.
Clementine
I meant to leave Magnolia at some point in my life. With a full ride scholarship to Juilliard, my dream was to dance. But Dad got sick and I needed to stay to run the local hardware store. Plus, there's no way I can rely on my older brother, Archer, who can't outrun the ghosts of his past.
When Maggie blows into town, I can't help but feel inspired by her desire to reinvent herself and when she asks for the local handyman, it becomes the perfect opportunity to provide Archer with purpose and perhaps, a little bit of sunshine.
As our friendship grows, I realize just how much I needed a sisterhood. And when I catch Archer smiling, I realize that he needed Maggie as well. I just hope that when the time comes to sell the inn, Maggie fights to stay, because I'm not sure we could handle the heartbreak if she leaves.
The Magnolia Inn will capture you from page one. It is a story chock full of friendship, laughter, and swoon-worthy romance.

So real you can smell the sea
An enchanting story, with tears and smiles that sweeps you away to the sea breeze of the Island
Excellent book
Where to start with a review of this book. The characters really got to me and when clementine and archer had to take their dad to a care home, the tears were flowing as I had to do the same with my Dad. The book was just a lovely and heartwarming read (despite the tears), and all about hope. Just bought the second book in the series and can’t wait to read it.
