The Country Guesthouse by Robyn Carr

4.0

RATING: 4 STARS
2020; Mira/Harlequin

We are back in Sullivan's Crossing with The Country Guesthouse. In this book we have Owen Abrams, a photographer, who lives in a very nice country house in Sullivan's Crossing. Due to his constant traveling he rents out his place, and when he comes home early he resides in the guesthouse (if it was okay with the guests staying in the big house). When Owen's travel plans are canceled he asks the next guest coming if he could stay on the property. The next guest is Hannah Russell, who recently lost her best friend, and is now the guardian of her young son. Taking time off to bond with the child, she decides to rent Owen's house. As the three try to mend their own pain they find that being together (along with Owen's Great Dane) helps them get through it.

This is just a heartbreaking story that leads to an uplifting ending. I am a sucker for a book with a kid and a dog in it - add a kid that loses his mother, ugh my heart. I enjoy the humourous yet drama filled stories that Robyn Carr weaves in small town. Just like her other books in the Sullivan's Crossing series, we meet the other characters that bring this endearing town to life.
