Publisher's Summary

Linnie Wayfair knows just how many people are counting on her. But knowing doesn't make doing any easier.

Everyone in Sweet Lake, Ohio, wants her to muster all her business sense and return the Wayfair Inn to its former glory. Her parents hope she'll forgive her scoundrel of a brother and reconcile the family. The eccentric Sweet Lake Sirens want her to open the inn - and her heart - to new possibilities. And her hilarious lifelong friends Jada and Cat are dropping none-too-subtle hints for her to ignite a romance with Daniel Kettering, the sexy attorney who's been pining for her for years...

Now a shocking turn of events will open old wounds and upend the world Linnie has carefully built. She has to make changes quickly - and the results, though not entirely what she expected, might be what she's been yearning for all along.

Just okay

The story was actually not that bad. It had sine pretty funny characters in it, although the main character drove me nuts. No spunk, no stand up for yourself. But the narration just killed this book for me. Her voices drove me up the wall. So I kept changing what she said into something better in my head. I think I will stay away from books with her as a narrator

I have got to start making better choices!!

Not a series I will be revisiting. These are some whacked out mean awful people. Oh, and the worst parents I've read in fiction in a while. The characters are overwhelmingly terrible people. I gave up about 2/3 through. It was that or throw iPod on the floor and smash it.

3 Stars for me!

The writing is good but I just couldn't get into the story.

Delightful

This story was very delightful. This was my first Read. I must say that I did enjoy it. The characters are amazing. Thanks

The Performance Ruins the Book

After listening to the book, I decided to finish it on Kindle. The narration of the brother absolutely ruined it on Audible. He sounded like a stuffy elderly man with a British accent.

Meh

I was hoping this would be a series I could enjoy easily and pass some time. Unfortunately the characters are all just overbearingly obnoxious. The main character has zero backbone and makes stupid decisions and is infuriating loyal to a stupid cause. At least give her a few redeeming qualities. The love interest is a sad sack pining away with unrequited love that suddenly isn’t unrequited after years and years? Where’s the build up? The brother is obnoxious and wholly unlikeable and the parents are even more despicable. There really isn’t any depth to any of the characters. Maybe they grow. I don’t know because I quit listening. Give me a strong female lead and some depth.

No storyline

I kept listening hoping they’d get to a story plot but it just kept talking about an old Inn and a letter. For 4 chapters. No romance no mystery. Extremely boring.

Enjoyed

I throughly loved this book, the story, audio and everything. I highly recommend to all

Typical romance novel

It was okay. I really liked the Sirens. I just couldn't get into the story. I liked Linnie, but didn't really connect with her. I might give another book in the series a try, but at the moment it isn't a must read for me.

Never hooked me in.

None if the characters drew me in. Hard to follow who was talking in the audio. Didn't care for the voice portrayal of the characters especially brother Freddy. I never got interested let alone invested in the outcome. Ho Hum.
