“[A] charming romance. Miller and Brody do a masterful job of pacing and plotting, while creating a hero and heroine readers will easily relate to. This sweet, G-rated contemporary should draw in Hallmark Channel devotees in droves.” ~Publishers Weekly

After a tough week that includes losing a big job opportunity and being dumped by her long-term boyfriend, Jenna Burke receives word that her beloved Aunt May passed away.

Traveling back to her Hawaiian hometown for the reading of the will, Jenna discovers she and her sister have inherited May’s dilapidated Victorian home on desirable beachfront land. The sisters can do whatever they want with the property, but there’s one catch: the house must be renovated before it can be sold, and Jenna has to oversee the work. Their Aunt even stipulated the contractor for the job—Ben Fletcher—who has a gift for making things beautiful again. He also has another skill: driving Jenna crazy.

Jenna vows to sell the property the moment the job is done. But as Aunt May’s broken old house starts to feel like home again, Jenna is torn between the life she’s been chasing in the city, and the one she’d left behind.

 REVIEW

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

Jenna has had a rough week or to be totally honest a rough day. Her big pitch at work did not go well with the client and to make it better her long term boyfriend breaks up with her. To add the cherry on top her favorite Aunt passes away making it necessary to return home. The reading of the will exposes an interesting twist that the house must be renovated before anything can be done with her. Jenna thinks city is for her but over time she falls in love with the house again along with the contractor Ben. This makes for a sweet coming home romance as Hawaii romances them both while they also get to know one another. A great romance for fans of the genre. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
