Review: Your B&B or Mine? by Melissa West (Maple Cove #1)
Note: This ARC was provided by Entangled Publishing in exchange for an honest review.
It's been eight years since Savannah Hale returned to her hometown of Maple Cove, Georgia, but the death of her beloved mother has her going on leave from her successful job in Boston to oversee all the preparations for the funeral. The last thing she needs is to learn about the financial trouble their family-owned bed and breakfast is in and the very last person she wants to see is the man working for the real estate company ready to buy the property--none other than Logan Park. Not only is Logan her late boyfriend's best friend, but he's the boy who broke her heart when he left without saying goodbye after sharing their mutual grief and what she believed was the beginning of something more between them. What she doesn't know is Logan has always loved her but the weight of guilt won't allow him to pursue her.
Your B&B or Mine is the first book in author Melissa West's latest contemporary romance series entitled Maple Cove, set in a fictional town by the same name located in the state of Georgia. This series starter isn't one I would really label as a second chance romance but more of a finally-taking-that-chance romance. Savannah Hale and Logan Park have known each other for years and the one person that tied them together is Will Pruitt, Savannah's boyfriend and Logan's best friend. Even after Will was killed in while he and Logan were serving in Afghanistan, their connection to him was still there...but then there was something else there that neither of them realized was mutual. Their re-connection is fodder for gossip and in a small town like Maple Cove, every move they make is under much scrutiny and speculation.
I quite enjoyed both the story and the cast of characters, especially Logan and Savannah. There's always that bit of humor in the situations they find themselves in as well as a lot of heart, something that seems and should be a staple of small-town romances like this one. Neither the story or main characters are overly complex but they're complicated enough that you want to delve in and figure out what motivates Logan and Savannah and why they never really became anything more after Will's death. Logan being torn between his love for Savannah and his loyalty to Will's memory is easier to understand when readers find out how Will and his family made him feel accepted and wanted. I'm guessing Savannah's siblings will get their own stories and I'm definitely looking forward to both. Your B&B or Mine is a five-star series starter. ♥
