Book
Description:
After
fleeing her hometown three years earlier, Alyssa Harrison never planned to
return. Then the Silicon Valley start-up she worked for collapsed and turned
her world upside down. She is broke, under FBI investigation, and without a
place to go. Having exhausted every option, she comes home to Winsome,
Illinois, to regroup then move on as quickly as possible. Yet, as friends and
family welcome her back, Alyssa begins to see a place for herself in this small
Midwestern community.
Jeremy Mitchell moved from Seattle to Winsome to
be near his daughter and to open the coffee shop he’s been dreaming of for years.
Problem is, the business is bleeding money—and he’s not quite sure why. When he
meets Alyssa, he senses an immediate connection, but what he needs most is
someone to help him save his floundering business. After asking for her help,
he wonders if something might grow between them—but forces beyond their control
soon complicate their already complex lives, and the future they both hoped for
is not at all what they anticipated.
With the help of Winsome’s small-town charm and
quirky residents, Alyssa and Jeremy discover the beauty and romance of second
chances.
My
Review:
What a delight to return to Winsome, Illinois, the home of quirky folks and a cozy bookshop. In the previous novel, The Printed Letter Bookshop, we met Madeline who inherited her aunt's bookstore along with eccentric employees, Claire and Janet. The bookshop is running well when Janet's daughter, Alyssa, returns to Winsome. As much as she doesn't want to, she moves in with her mom. As Alyssa tries to come to grips with the mess called life, she meets Jeremy. He needs a friend and some good business advice. Reay's Of Literature and Lattes is another charming story of hurt, hope, and healing. I've enjoyed every one of her books. I look forward to the nod to literary references she sprinkles through her stories, as well as her lovable characters. A little bonus, her books have gorgeous covers. I hope she'll visit Winsome a third time. I'd love to catch up on more of the folks from this lovely town. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
