"The McCullagh Inn in Maine" by Jen McLaughlin

My Thoughts....

Be ready for a short, suspenseful, sexy adventurous read full of secrets, reconnections and twists that this author gives so very well to the readers.  I like this friends to lovers...as was Chelsea and Jeremy had been at one time.  But after Jeremy was supposed to marry someone else Chelsea leaves and would she  have known that Jeremy calls off the wedding soon after she leaves.  Oh well...as the story goes Chelsea leaves  to get away from not only Jeremy but her strange family.  As the story goes she gets the job as being a assistant district attorney but would you believe she come involved a crooked and abusive boyfriend that lead her into trouble that she finds herself having to come back home with a new identity and dyed hair.  Now, this next part of the read I did find a little predictable in that Chelsea come back home [to Maine with a gun and fresh bruises] and gets involved with Jeremy and from this part I will stop here and say you must pick up the good short read and see for yourself how well this author brings it all out to the reader.  Now that Chelsea is back home and Jeremy is back in her life what secrets are they keeping from each other?  I liked how this author kept these secrets so well hidden. How will this play out? Will Chelsea get the  help she needed  fixing up her [The McCullagh Inn] that her aunt had left her from Jeremy?  The problem I had with this read was that it seemed like the story comes to an end and you are left saying what?  Did the action and suspense overpower the romance of the story?  Oh well, it was still a good enjoyable read if you are into a short sweet friends again to lovers.

I received this book from NOR for an honest review.
