Inn at Last Chance Book Review

I started this book after finishing the last one in the series and I was excited to find out who the next book was going to follow.  Inn at Last Chance by Hope Ramsay was the seventh book in the series so I only have two books left after this one.  I was excited to learn more about Jenny because her pie baking expertise is featured in every book and there hasn't been a chance to get to know her yet.  This was a great chance as well as who doesn't like a good bed and breakfast story!! 

Jenny Carpenter is the unrivaled pie-baking champion of Last Chance, South Carolina's annual Watermelon Festival and the town's unofficial spinster. With her dream of marriage and children on hold, she focuses on another dream, turning the local haunted house into a charming bed-and-breakfast. But her plans go off course when the home's former owner shows up on her doorstep on a dark and stormy night . . .

Mega-bestselling horror writer Gabriel Raintree is as mysterious and tortured as his heroes. His family's long-deserted mansion is just the inspiration he needs to finish his latest twisted tale, or so he thinks until he learns it's been sold. The new innkeeper proves to be as determined as she is kind, and soon Gabriel finds himself a paying guest in his own home. As Jenny and Gabe bring new passion to the old house, can she convince him to leave the ghosts of his past behind-and make Last Chance their first choice for a future together?

Jenny is a wallflower that we have not seen in the previous books even though she has been in every story.  The baker of the pies who has remained very quiet and we have been waiting to get to know more about her.  She quit her job teaching math in high school to open a bed and breakfast.  She is hoping that serving all of her treats and being with people all the time is going to make her life more fulfilled.  She is looking towards the future with all of her decisions.  Gabe Raintree comes back into town and he hurts himself after slipping on the ice at the new bed and breakfast.  He is going to need to heal and the ladies in town talk Jenny into having him stay at the inn so that he will be well cared for and do a fundraiser to help keep their library open.  I enjoyed the interesting interactions with Gabe and Jenny who are both trying to spend time avoiding each other while being the only two people living in the house.  I hope that you check out this book and the rest of the Last Chance series.  I have really enjoyed reading it.  I am a little bummed that I have gotten a lot of books on my reserve shelf recently so I have to take a break on the series to read a few other books.  I am excited that I will get to return to them
