About this item

She bought the cabin on a whim. But will it transform into her perfect getaway?

Burnt out from her high-flying author career and dreaming of escaping her busy Manhattan life, when Laura discovers her husband cheating on her with another writer, she knows it’s time for a change. After her brother calls her about a country Bed and Breakfast for sale, Laura ditches New York and buys it on the spot… only to realize that the run-down cabin will need more than a little elbow grease to restore it to working condition.

As she’s swept up in the quiet joys of small-town life, an ad in the local paper draws her to the rugged handyman Paul – and though his wicked humor sours first impressions, she soon warms to his rustic charms. But her past isn’t done with her yet.
Faced with the daunting reality of fixing up her cabin – and with her Manhattan agents pressuring her to return to the big city – Laura must find the strength to commit to her new future… and maybe find true love along the way.

Was this cabin the worst impulse buy in her life? Or will she find happiness amid the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains?

Dive into a cozy small-town adventure that will charm your heart with a feel-good story of new beginnings, wholesome romance, and healing from the past. The Smoky Mountain series is a delightful read that’s perfect for anyone who wants to grab their favorite coffee and be whisked away on an enchanting saga.

Laura has agent each out to her to meet with her in New York and discusses taking on her as a client. The problem is she wants the old Laura who write romances, and she does not wish to do that any longer. The woman tells her that is the only thing that will sell books and Laura refuses to do that. she wants to write something meaningful so they cannot come to an agreement. When Laura was leaving, she runs into her ex-husband, wanting her to allow him to say in there hold home. She tells him she sold it; he is very angry she wants half of the money. His new girlfriend moved on, and he is without resources, she tells him goodbye and leaves. He ends up having her served court papers, he wants half of the money from the sale. If she gives it to him, she cannot pay for her B&B, Noah serves to help her, and they can get through this mess. Very good story, now we wait to see what happens next.

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2024
Book 2 has Laura going back to NYC to speak to her publisher and when she tells her how about the book she wants to write the publisher isn’t happy about it and tells her to think about it. On her way out she runs into her ex who was surprised she sold the apartment they lived in. He is very upset,but she just leaves and goes back to her new home. She orders all the furniture and things she needs for her BnB and once it arrives it really sinks in that she is going to do this. While relaxing she gets served with papers from her ex who wants half the $$ from the sale of the house. If that happens she cannot keep the BnB. What will happen? The story is well written, with characters that you want to love (and hate). So far the story is moving along and I’m excited to see where it will go. I received an arc and am leaving my review voluntarily.

Laura knew that she wanted to make improvements to the cabin. Noah was just the handyman she needed. As they worked together they enjoyed each other’s company. They both had visions that were similar and they easily talked through the plans. Laura missed Noah on days that he didn’t come to work. Noah made plans to spend days off relaxing together. Things were going really well. Until her ex-husband contacts her. This is a fast read that has you hooked from the beginning. It’s easy to read in one sitting. I received an advanced copy. I highly recommend this series and am happy I had the opportunity to review this book in my own words.

Book 2 of The Cozy Hideway finds Laura faced with choosing between her NYC life and her mountain retreat. After meeting with her publisher, Laura opts to stay in the mountains and concentrate on opening her BnB. Romance with Noah is blooming nicely. But, after a relaxing couple of weeks working on her BnB and her relationship with Noah, an unexpected twist ends this book and leaves us anxiously awaiting the next book.
