The third and final book in the Bluebell Inn series; this one is set a few years after book two. Youngest sister Grace Bennett is now an adult with a growing business. When Wyatt Jennings enters the Inn looking for a place to stay, she is surprised by her almost instant attraction - and connection - to him. Wyatt is not there to simply visit the town - he is trying to solve a mystery that has plagued him since childhood. He is sure that uncovering the mystery surrounding this trauma will release the difficult emotions that are plaguing him now...but will they?
Grace is dealing with the memories of her own childhood trauma (which I struggled with; I did not feel this topic was fleshed out enough or even fully made sense to the character). I had trouble with the timeline and wish there was a way to make the character's progressions less noticeable. I did love seeing the transition of Grace as she gained confidence as an adult, focused on growing her business, coming into her own, etc.
I was slightly baffled why no one connected the dots on Wyatt's family...I know Jennings may be a relatively common name, but the siblings know so much about their house/the town and it's history, it seemed strange - like an obvious question that was never asked.
Overall, this was a great series. IMO these are not standalone books, so if you haven't read the first two you will be better off to start there. I am glad to recommend this entire series and author.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson Publishers and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
