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.

    Midst threats, love can find the way. Being afraid can keep you from going forward. The author does a great job.

    5.0 out of 5 stars How dare Drew!!

    Laura has had a hard time trying to open the B&B. There seems to be so many issues popping up when she thinks she has everything solved another issue pops up to keep her from opening the B&B. She grows more attached to it day by day. This issue with Drew is about to get the best of her & stopping all chances of her being able to open her beloved B&B. As Laura & Noah grow more fond of each other, Drew shows up at the cabin making threats to her personally & more scheming he has come up with. So far, she had been able to handle everything with Noah by her side. She’s alone with him, oh why did she invite him in. She is afraid but she is able to keep up the front she has displayed. He’s even trying to get her to buy the cabin from him for a ridiculous price since she is going to loose anyway. Can she and Noah find what they need in time to stop him? Will what they have found help her at all. This is one of those books you want to know what happens, but you don’t want it to end!

    I received this ARC for free & I am giving my review for free & in my own words. What is going to be the verdict? Will Drew get the property or will he go to jail???

    The cabin has brought such joy to Laura as she makes plans for a B&B. She decides to reach out to people that have stayed there in the past and make a book of memories for new visitors. However, Drew is still claiming ownership of the cabin and poses a real threat to Laura. Noah will stand beside her through all of the ups and down as she navigates her future.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The saga continues
    Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2024
    Laura and Noah are getting closer and both are feeling a loving relationship continuing to grow. However, the ownership of the cabin is still ongoing. Nancy, the prior owner of the cabin, has a surviving sister, Eleanor. Laura and Noah visit Eleanor and she grants them access to Nancy’s boxed up belongings. Can they find something to assist the case of ownership? Nancy’s greedy nephew, Drew, is trying to intimidate Laura with threats and scare tactics. On a brighter note, Laura is working on a history of the guests who stayed at the cabin in its heyday when Nancy and her husband ran the resort. We end this book with a heartfelt proposal from Noah. Will Laura say yes?

    I received an ARC of the book and am leaving this review voluntarily.

    Loved this book, but am disappointed to have to wait awhile to get the next in the series on Kindle Unlimited. I guess I have no choice in the matter, but to wait a week or so.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Okay, but not up to par
    Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2024
    I’ve enjoyed the prior 4 books, but this book had too many typos “Noa” and changed from Noah to James. Proofer needs help.
