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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who does the Cozy cabin actually belong to?
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2024
Who actually owns this cabin? That seems to be the question of the hour! Poor Laura gets one roadblock after another! How many times can one person be harassed & subpoenaed? First her ex is harassing her, now a total stranger she doesn’t even know or heard of is claiming that she doesn’t own the cabin that he’s the own. That it was left to him by his aunt, which appears to not be true. It was actually supposed to go to her sister. He has been in jail & the taxes have not been paid so they sold it to pay the taxes owed on it. Drew claims that there was a trust in place that was suppose to pay the taxes while he was in jail, so he is suing Laura saying she is not the owner & it was sold illegally! Laura has spent a lot of money fixing this place up & getting the license to operate it as a B&B. She has everything in place & ready to open her B&B when she gets this subpoena that she is not the legal owner? What is she going to do if she looses her ownership? She has sunk her life savings into fixing up this cabin & getting furniture & decorations to be able to open her B&B. This cabin has changed her whole life!! She has fallen in love with her handyman & she has been writing again, which she hadn’t been able to do since her husband left her for someone much younger. Laura can’t imagine what she will do if she looses her beloved cabin that has changed her whole life & given her something to look forward to. She had even been able to write a book since she has been at the cabin. The cabin & the lovely surroundings had given quite an inspiration since she has been there. It has changed her whole life! Will she loose her beloved cabin or will her lawyer, Noah & others be able to prove what a fake he is & the trouble Drew caused the original owner & the scams he has pulled? The cabin was suppose to go to the original owner’s sister, so how did he get ownership of it? What was he in jail for? He had pulled scams before so is this another one of his scams? Can’t wait to find out!

I received this ARC for free & I am giving my honest review for free & written in my own words. I am anxious to know to know the answer to all of these questions, so stay tune for the real answers!!

New life v old life continues. Poor Laura, everything is working out from her “old life”, the issue with her former husband turned harasser has been resolved and now her former publishing company is interested, really interested. All good things to get her “new life” moving in the right direction. There’s just one huge problem that surfaced: will Laura be able to keep the Cabin. Read on to find out. A great read! Thank you for the ARC copy.

Laura is fighting for her cabin. Some punk from the past owners claims it's his. He keeps coming around scaring Laura half to death. His rep proceeds him. He tries to extort money out of Laura and threatens her with burning the place down. (Then he would have nothing) so that makes no sense although in real life an idiot such as this guy would say that very thing. I like the last few pages of book 5 but I will let it be a surprise I am looking forward to the rest of the book. However, to me, 6 books in a series is too many. I like 3 to 4 at the most books in a series. It seems to me too much filler and repeat comes with any more books than 4 but that is just my opinion. I must say I have read series where I never wanted them to end so what do I really know?? LOL This is a good read, well worth your time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will Laura lose the cabin?
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2024
Yikes! Laura and Noah meet with a local lawyer to discuss the latest lawsuit that claims the cabin sale was illegal. The lawyer fears that there may be some grounds. The nephew of the previous owner, who has reputation as bad news, is trying to get ownership back. Laura and Noah, with help from her brother, try to unravel the story. It seems that there maybe a much darker side to the whole thing, more twists and turns. Laura is slowing down her move to reopen the BnB until things become clear.

On another front, good news. Laura’s agent calls, excited about Laura’s new book. A publisher is already interested. Laura is also happily involving herself in the local community, helping with the upcoming holiday party.

Where will the story go next? I received an ARC and leaving a voluntary review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laura has another obstacle happen
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2024
Laura is writing again and it's just so easy now for her, her ability to write has returned with a vengeance. She is happy with her life, so the writing is good and easy now, Noah gets her balanced. The problems Charles was causing, has now been taken care she no longer has to worry about him getting anything from her. Just when it all seems good, then she gets another setback, the original cabin owner has a bad son that ruined the Inn for her, now he is coming after Laura. With the help of her brother David finding things about him and how devious he is, wanting money and it seems he is in jail. So now Laura has a much harder time trying to save her Inn from the likes of him. Very good story, waiting to see how this all works out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nate and Greg Talk
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2024
Greg is acting out of control and pushed Byron into a corner. He told Greg he'd have to send home to military school, as Greg's grandfather suggested because of the crimes he just pulled on his grandparents and was back on the island.

Nate and Greg had a serious talking to and Nate straightened Greg out and his self pity thinking. Nate was brutally honest with him and talked to Greg at his level, being not much older than Greg. The brutal honesty came through finally hitting Greg as needed.

Stacey and Byron have spoken privately and honestly to each other realizing they are broken ships and each making the other aware that they each know how they're broken. They'd settled into a lovely, planned romantic dinner by the other island mates when bad news strikes.

I have received an early, free copy; ARC, and am giving my free voluntary and honest review.

I received an advanced copy and am leaving a voluntary review. Everyone is positive that Laura will keep the cabin but so many unknowns. Noah is her support!
