Book description from Book Bub:
Maybe what they needed most was there all along…
“Delaney Phillips, a divorced mom, works for her longtime best friend Wyatt Andrews at Cabins in the Pines. Wyatt inherited the rustic resort from his father, and both he and Delaney have made countless happy memories there. After a highway bypass leaves it a little too off the beaten path, they’ll do just about anything to keep it open.
At Delaney’s urging, Wyatt auditions for a reality TV program that helps businesses in trouble. The show’s glamorous host arrives with her camera crew, turning the place upside down in hilarious and alarming ways.
But Delaney doesn’t like the woman’s new plans for the business…or her designs on Wyatt. Because even though Delaney’s known him since the first grade, she’s slowly but surely falling in love with him. Can she help him see the cabins—and their relationship—in a different light?
This clean romance includes a free Hallmark original recipe for Blueberry Cottage Cheese Pancakes.”
My Review:
This book had great characters and drew me into the story from the very beginning. Wyatt and Delaney have been best friends from childhood. Even though they have suffered heartache and loss, they still do their best to take care of their friends and family. Wyatt’s family campground has fallen on some hard times financially, and Delaney is determined to find a way to save it. She does this by applying for a business “fixer upper” type TV show. Their campground gets accepted for the show, and when the cameras and crew arrive, Wyatt and Delaney’s relationship is suddenly under scrutiny. Do they dare put their solid friendship at risk to see if they truly love each other? This story made me smile and cheer them on through all the upheaval of the renovation of both the campground and their relationship. There’s some great secondary characters in this book, too, that add much to the story. This is light, fun, entertaining reading.
This is exactly the kind of book I’ve come to expect from Hallmark Publishing: A clean, sweet, well-written story with great characters and a storyline that keeps you turning pages to find the happily-ever-after moment. I’m hoping this book is turned into a Hallmark Movie, but honestly, I will probably still think the book was better!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
I had no idea Hallmark had a book publishing division! Thanks for sharing your review, Patti! I’ll have to look for some of their books in the library. I am a huge Hallmark Movie fan. 🙂
