Synopsis

A songwriter in a slump and a heartbroken chef cook up a harmonious happily ever after.

Ryann Alden’s not looking for a relationship. She’s focused on making a success of the small town inn she and her sisters inherited. As the business takes off, however, tensions grow and she struggles to be seen as an adult instead of a helpless child by the older two. When she finds herself falling for the attractive guest that appears on their doorstep, the budding romance becomes the driving force to make Ryann demand more for herself and her new love.

Elijah Hansen’s reputation as Nashville’s songwriting superstar is at risk when the cutthroat industry has his creativity abandoning him. The impulse that has him hitting the road for a place where he can rekindle his love for song leads him to Willow Falls Inn and Ryann. A snowstorm strands him, but the emerald-eyed beauty that greets him may just be the muse he’s been missing.

Ryann and Elijah continue their whirlwind romance in a long-distance relationship that must survive the tests of his fame, the revelation of a family secret, and the miles between them.

Secretly Inn Love, the final book in the Inn Love series, features the youngest sister in the Alden clan and a hidden celebrity hero.

Review

This is the last book in this trilogy about three sisters that take over their aunt and uncle B&B after a tragic accident. This book focuses on Ryann’s story and we start off where she is made at her sisters, Gavyn and Blake, and for good reason. They had been holding back a secret about their parents and Ryann happens to overhear this secret. I can’t blame Ryann for her anger because she is nearly 25 yet she is treated as if she is much younger. In Gavyn and Blake’s defense, it is hard to change the path once you are down it and realize that their baby sister has grown up and doesn’t need to be coddled or protected.

We see this come into play, even more, when Ryann meets Elijah when he stops at their inn in the middle of the storm. I think it was love at first sight for Elijah and maybe Ryann too. I loved their banter back and forth and how she instinctively feels like she can trust him much to the dismay of her sisters. They are in full-on protective mode and do some things that they shouldn’t do, such as an internet search on Elijah.

The relationship between Elijah and Ryann moves quickly, but sometimes when you know you know. Ryann does have a dilemma to sort out, but with Elijah’s help it all works itself out.

I enjoyed discovering Elijah’s profession as a songwriter and how Ryann becomes his muse and the words just flow. I can’t imagine having to write songs (or a book or anything like that) and struggle for ideas. I cracked up when Ryann discovers it and doesn’t like his first big hit.

This was a fun read and I’m sad to see this trilogy end. I think it would have been exciting to have an epilogue set in the future (say 5 or 10 years) and a brief recap on what is happening with the sisters and the inn especially since some big news was dropped at the end.

We give this book 5 paws up.

About the Author

Books, coffee, and chocolate make up both the heart and body mass that is better known as Amelia Foster. She has been a lifelong lover of the written word, both as a reader and an author, and completed her first manuscript at the ripe old age of five complete with illustrations. Sadly, her art was a medium that never improved over time although thankfully her writing has.

From sweet to salacious the only requirement Amelia has in books she reads – and definitely in the ones she crafts – is an excessively satisfying happily ever after… and then a little bit more.
