Book Description:
From beloved author Betsy St. Amant comes an enemies to more, Hatfields and McCoys swoon-worthy contemporary romance set in a small beach town that reminds us that true love is worth fighting for.
Noah Hebert recently inherited the Blue Pirogue Inn—along with all its problems. He needs money to keep his beloved childhood home from being shut down by his family’s longtime nemesis, Isaac Bergeron. So when Noah’s lawyer approaches him about an additional segment of his late grandfather’s will, it’s just in the nick of time. But even from beyond the grave, his grandfather is up to his usual games. In order to receive the last portion of inheritance, Noah must follow the clues. But there’s one condition…
Magnolia Blossom Cafe manager Elisa Bergeron is shocked to discover an acquaintance from the local Puzzlers Club left her something in his will—and even more surprised to discover they are clues to a portion of his estate. When she learns she must work with introverted inn-owner Noah Hebert to solve the puzzle, she’s torn. Growing up in the middle of a multi-generational feud between their families, she’s been taught by her father Isaac that Heberts can’t be trusted.
When these two exes must work together to save their future, will love get a second chance or will the longstanding family feud claim another generation?
My Review:
Do you like treasure hunts? You are sure to love reading this search for the inheritance money that Noah Hebert’s grandfather has left him. The catch? He will have to include his former girlfriend, Elisa Bergeron, as part of solving the clues.
I love the cleverness of Noah’s grandpa as he leaves literary lines from a favorite American poem that will take both Noah and Elisa to figure out. Each of them have expertises that are needed to decipher the hints. It was a perfect way for Noah and Elise to communicate and air their past differences. I loved that they had a second chance with their relationship. You will love Mama D, the owner of the local restaurant and her feistiness. She added humor and warmth to the story.
I highly recommend this book to readers young and mature. The message of forgiveness and love left me with a smile and hoping this can be made into a movie. This is the first book in the Magnolia Bay series and I am eagerly looking forward to reading more stories about the people who live here.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from Sunrise Publishing. All opinions expressed are my own with no obligation to write a positive review.
