The Country Guesthouse Book Review

I put a bunch of books on reserve and I never know what is going to come in.  This book came into my reserve shelf and I got it just before the library closed.  The Country Guesthouse (Sullivan's Crossing) by Robyn Carr was the next book in my pile that was quickly dwindling.  I was a little sad that there were no new books coming in so I was excited to get to read this new book.  I was happy to get back to the small town of Sullivan's Crossing that I enjoyed in the other books in the series.

A summer rental, a new beginning…

Hannah Russell’s carefully crafted plans for her life have been upended without warning. When her best friend died suddenly, Hannah became guardian to a five-year-old named Noah. With no experience at motherhood, she’s terrified she’s not up to the challenge. She and Noah need time to get to know each other, so she decides to rent a country house with stunning views on a lake in rural Colorado.  When they arrive at the house, they are greeted by the owner, a handsome man who promises to stay out of their way. But his clumsy Great Dane, Romeo, has other ideas and Noah immediately bonds with the lovable dog. As Hannah learns to become a mother, Owen Abrams, who is recovering from his own grief, can’t help but be drawn out of his solitude by his guests.

But life throws more challenges at this unlikely trio and they are tested in ways they never thought possible. All three will discover their strengths and, despite their differences, they will fight to become a family. And the people of Sullivan’s Crossing will rally around them to offer all of the support they need.A summer rental, a new beginning… Hannah Russell’s carefully crafted plans for her life have been upended without warning.

Wow what a detailed description on Amazon.  I was thinking that it was going to be short like many of the other book jackets but this had a lot of information on to summarize the story.  I was super happy to get back to the little town of Sullivan's Crossing because I have enjoyed the stories so much in the past.  I loved meeting Hannah the first time and seeing how she made her own future by leaving the work trip because the other people weren't behaving well.  It was great that she got into the small town and got to meet a bunch of the residents that we have loved from past books.  I was so happy that she planned a trip back after saying she was going to back.  It was a big surprise twist when Hannah becomes a mom and keeps her trip.  The trip to the vacation house turns out to be just the thing for Hannah and Noah.  It is great to see Owen who we have met in other previous books but it was great to get to know him more in this book.  He was a great person and his wonderful dog, Romeo.  It was great to see how Hannah and Owen together to help each other.  I loved reading this book and really put a smile on my face during these times being stuck inside the house.  I hope that you check out this book and the rest of the series.  I hope that you have lots of access to books during this time while many libraries are closed. I have a feeling that it is going to be a little while longer without my favorite resource the library but I know that I will have a great list of books to read when they open again.  Hope you have lots of books to read and enjoy too!!
