Review
In the first Deerbourne Inn novella, Chef Nathan Harte is
renovating the old inn he’d inherited from an elderly friend. Opening day is a
week away when a hit-and-run driver nearly runs him over and leaves him with a
broken arm, but Nathan and his staff are determined to see the inn and
restaurant open on time.
Emily Harrington arrives at the inn to research genealogy
records for a client, and much of that information involves the inn. She befriends
Nate’s cousin and some of the townsfolk, and develops a little crush on Nate.
Most of the story is focused on Nathan getting ready to
open the inn, so there was a lot of description about food, antiques, and the
renovation of the property. This story is a mystery, not a romance. As the series starter, this book set up several locations and introduced
the town’s main inhabitants.
I enjoyed the story and look forward to reading more
books in the series.
