Marie Carrington is running from a host of bad memories. Broke and desperate, she's hoping to find safety and sanctuary on Prince Edward Island, where she reluctantly agrees to help decorate a renovated bed-and-breakfast before it opens for prime tourist season.
Seth Sloane didn't move three thousand miles to work on his uncle's B&B so he could babysit a woman with a taste for expensive antiques and a bewildering habit of jumping every time he brushes past her. He came to help restore the old Victorian--and to forget about the fiancée who broke his heart.
The only thing Marie and Seth agree on is that getting the Red Door Inn ready to open in just three months will take everything they've got. Can these two wounded souls find hope, healing, and perhaps a bit of romance on this beautiful island?
Step into the Red Door Inn, a lovely home away from home tucked along the north shore of fabled Prince Edward Island. It's a place where the wounded come to heal, the broken find forgiveness, and the lonely find a family. Won't you stay for the season?
I would love to spend time at the Red Door Inn after reading this delightful book by Liz Johnson. She brings Prince Edward Island’s enchantment to vivid life as she draws readers into the troubled lives of Marie and Seth and their separate quests for a fresh start. At least, they intended to keep them separate. But God may have other plans.
Each of the characters in The Red Door Inn appealed to me in their own way. Jack Sloane, the widower who is determined to bring his beloved wife’s dream to fruition and antique-store owner Aretha Franklin (not the singer) add charm and some touches of humor to this story, as do the rest of the cast.
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion. I loved The Red Door Inn and didn’t want it to end. For that reason and many more, it earns five stars.
