Description:
There are two things twenty-nine-year-old Jackie Donovan asks God for: an honest, wonderful man to marry, and to own a bed-and-breakfast in the Outer Banks region. In the meantime, Jackie works for Lighthouse Views magazine, writing articles about other local business owners, and intrepidly goes on the blind dates set up by her well-meaning but oh-so-clueless relatives. There's one specific property Jackie dreams of purchasing: the Bailey Place, a fabulous old home where Jackie spent many happy childhood afternoons, a place that has now fallen into disrepair because of its outrageous price tag. When Jackie meets handsome Davis Erickson, who holds the key to the Bailey Place, Jackie is sure God has answered both her prayers. But as Jackie learns some disturbing details about Davis's past, she begins to question her own motivation. Will she risk her long-held dreams to find out the truth?
My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed this book! There was a wonderful storyline with a nice romance. I loved Jackie and her devotion to her friends and family and to her dream. I love how she takes care of her friend and her friend's son by taking them under her wing. I appreciated Jackie's fun traditions too, like flying a kite every year and wanting lemon cookies with raspberry cream soda at the bed and breakfast. A sweet and enjoyable story that I am sad to see end!
