Title: Room for Love
By Sophie Pembroke
The Gist:
Carrie Archer gets much more than
she bargains for when she takes on the task of turning her grandmother’s inn
(her inheritance) into a wedding destination. Along with the outdated, falling apart building comes a
group of retired senior citizens, a scattered receptionist, a single dad for a
chef, and an extremely handsome gardener.
Working to prove that she can
succeed single-handedly is an impossible task; luckily her group of quirky
helpers are determined to help achieve Carrie’s vision. When an opportunity to throw a big
wedding for her cousin on Christmas Eve arises, this group must band together
to get the job done right.
Limited funds, an ex-boss set on
revenge, and the distraction of a sizzling attraction all threaten to derail
Carries efforts, but with a little planning, and a lot of help, she just might
find that there is always Room for Love!
What I thought:
You know those books that allow you to enter their
pages, float through their chapters, and close them with a smile on your
face? That is just what you will
get from this book. It is a light,
fun romance that gives many heart flutters throughout (especially the singing
scene- trust me).
I really loved the character of Carrie. Although you could see (from an
outsider’s perspective) that she should gladly welcome the help of the
wonderfully written seniors, I don’t think anyone among us wouldn’t battle to
accomplish a task ourselves if we had been told adamantly that we could not do
it by an important person in our lives.
The romance is introduced, and fought from early in the pages, making
the undeniable chemistry that much sweeter.
This is the second novel that I have read by Sophie
Pembroke, and I am so happy to have discovered her for myself. Reading her stories is like a happy
vacation into a chick-flick, and what lady doesn’t need that every now and
again! This is the first novel in
The Love Trilogy, and I am very excited to read more!
