Publisher's summary

It's the moment that Harmony Island has been waiting for: the reading of Charlotte Cane's will.

After I returned to my small hometown six months ago to attend my estranged grandmother's funeral, I swore I would never go back. That is, until my grandmother's lawyer calls me up. If I don't return to Harmony Island and fulfill my grandmother's stipulations, the generationally owned family inn will be turned over to the state and sold off to the highest bidder—my grandmother's rival and mother to the man who broke my heart, Missy Willis.

I'm not sure I'm strong enough to return home, but I also know, I can't let Miss Willis win. So I pack up my belongings and head for North Carolina.

I'm determined to stay distant, living in the small cottage next to the inn, and keep my head down. But in a small town where everyone knows your name, that becomes difficult. Soon, my past catches up with me, and I'm faced with the history I've buried for so long. Just when I reach my breaking point, Miles, the single dad living at the inn, swoops in to my life to rescue me. He was my protector in my childhood, my enemy in my teenage years, and now?

Now, I'm not so sure. Especially when his love for his daughter is contagious, or the way he looks at me when he doesn't know I see him. I'm so confused, and I want to run away like I did in the past, but I can't. And when Miles touches me like that...I don't want to.

Luckily, I find a friend in Abigail, the local bookstore owner. She's one of the only residents who doesn't know about my past and seems to be looking for the same thing I am, a place to belong.

The Inn on Harmony Island is chock full of romance, redemption, and forgiveness. If you're looking for your next summer story, grab your copy today! It is the first book in the Sweet Tea and a Southern Gentleman series and ends on a cliff-hanger.

PG-13

Cute and sweet, But Could of had a little more captivating moments. Some things were just unnecessary and the story still would of ended where it did.

adorable

this book will tug at your heartstrings. it's beautifully written.
some times we gain something beautiful through tragedy.

Such a Cute Story!

I loved this story! The characters were very lovable, and it was easy to listen too! I can’t wait to listen to the next one.

this book tho

This book was weird af BUT I still listened to the whole book! AND THAT ENDING😳😳😳😳😳 that was one cliff hanger😅😅😅

Social Media Sway

It is a good love story, romance. But I saw a snippet on social media thinking the whole book would have this specific vibe. If you are into really spicy stuff, this will not meet that need. But if you like a good vanilla romance, this is perfect. I just didn’t like that the only spicy bit portrayed on social was…like…the only semi spicy bit in the whole story. The narrator is okay, but I wish they would have used multiple narrators or a single narrator that is better about character distinction in their tone. It was hard to follow the Abigail and Shelby chapters cause they sound the same by the narrator. I forget who the chapter is about at times.

nothing happens

the bots voice was horrible. story line was ok but it ends like a chapter ending, not a book. do not recommend

A nice Small TownRead

Shelby is so wrapped up in herself you want to slap her. She is the epitome of a whiny teenager and an "Emotional Damage" meme in an adults body. Miles is an absolute Golden Retriever sweetheart that you wnt to protect at all costs and you crave more story with Abigail, Sebastian, and Anders. A lot is left unanswered: What happened to Titan? Sebastian's past? Where is Clint? So many more. They may get answered in other books, but I'm not sure its worth the credits... now if all three were in one trilogy book, most definitely!

Cute story

Cute story but the main character second guesses herself way to much. A bit drawn out.

Ehhh

I started this book because there was an ad going around for it on Facebook, the ad was extremely deceiving. The book is very slow to catch your interest and it doesn’t keep it. It seems it just started to get interesting the last few chapters but if you want to continue you have to go to the next book. I’m not sure I will because this book was disappointing for me

Pros and Cons

Love the story but put off by the fact it’s her ex step brother. Needs at least a male and female narrator but the story hooked me and the only “reading time” I get is driving to and from work and while at work so if I want to the story than I have to have the audio books!
