Mark was close to
his Aunt Vivian as a child, but he hadn’t heard from her in years
when he finds he’s the sole beneficiary of her estate which
includes a house in Manistique, Michigan. Manistique is near the
midpoint of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and quite a trek for Mark.
It’s remote and when he arrives his first thought is to figure out
how to get rid of the house.
He’s looking
through the house when he’s surprised by a knock at the door. Dr.
Emily Davis, a recent medical school graduate, on her way to
Mackinack Island, hit a deer near Manistique and shattered the
windshield. She needs a place to stay and was told that Mark’s
house is a bed and breakfast. This is news to Mark, but she’s in
trouble, so he agrees to let her stay for at least a day.
Mark’s surprises
are far from over when more guests arrive, and he finds that he is
actually operating a bed and breakfast. One day leads to the next, and
Mark and Emily find themselves enjoying each other’s company, but
there are more surprises in store.
This is a fun read.
Mark is the clueless innkeeper to whom things keep happening. It’s
hilarious to see him deal with his new role. Emily is a likable
character and makes a sensible foil for Mark. The character
development in this story is thin, but the action is fun and fast.
I received this book
from Net Galley for this review.
