Carolina Breeze by Denise Hunter
Goodreads Summary:
A jilted bride. A struggling innkeeper. And a romantic mountain getaway that changes everything.
Rising Hollywood star Mia Emerson is looking for a safe place to land in the wake of a public breakup and scandal, and she finds it in the lake town of Bluebell, North Carolina—the location of her canceled honeymoon. She wants nothing more than to hide and wait for the tabloids to die down.
Soon after her arrival at the Bluebell Inn, Mia meets Levi Bennett, who runs the inn along with his two younger sisters. Drawn to one another from the start, Mia trusts Levi to keep her location from the press, and Levi confides in Mia about the financial state of the inn—a secret he’s been keeping from his sisters.
When Mia and Levi discover an old journal that hints at a rare diamond necklace hidden in the inn, they set off on a treasure hunt to find the long-lost heirloom. What they don’t expect to surface are feelings they thought were safely locked away. Mia and Levi must decide if falling in love again is too big a risk—or if it will uncover a treasure of its own instead.
This Bluebell Inn romance takes us to a quiet North Carolina retreat that holds more secrets than it shares.
My Review:
This is the second book in thee Bluebell Inn series, and I loved it just as much as the first one. I really liked getting to read Levi’s story and I am excited for Grace’s story in the next book. This book was very similar to the first book. There was a famous guest staying at the inn who falls for one of the innkeepers along with a little bit of a mystery aspect as well.
The “mystery” was not as much of a focus in this book as it was in the first one. While I enjoyed that aspect of the last book, I liked that this one focused more on the characters’ pasts and what they were going through. I felt more connected to Levi and Mia and I feel like this is a big part of it. Their chemistry felt a lot more real.
4 stars
