The Country Guesthouse by Robyn Carr

4.0

The Country Guesthouse is the fifth instalment in Sullivan's Crossing series, but it can read as a standalone. This is a small-town, women's fiction and romance series.

Hannah Russell’s life is not perfect at the moment because of frustrating colleagues and a cheating ex-fiance, but all her problems dissipate when life throws a curveball at her. Her best friend suddenly dies, leaving her the custody of her five-year-old son, Noah. Hannah needs to figure her life and Noah's life out. She ends up taking a vacation with Noah, bringing him to a cabin in Sullivan's Crossing.

Owen Abrams is the owner of the cabin and a photographer, who is staying in the renovated barn while renting the cabin, because of the cancellation of his plans. Our heroine, Hannah and Noah soon meet him, Noah and Owen immediately click and Owen's dog, Romeo too. Owen himself has grief from his past, he too comes out of his shell because of Hannah and Noah. The foursome quickly became close, though they have a few hurdles to overcome, they couldn't be happier as they are when together.

Noah was really cute and very admirable! I loved him. The people in the town were quite lovely as well! While reading this book, I kept thinking of the word 'healing'. It was definitely the theme of this book. I teared up while reading some parts and feeling real relief towards the end because these people so deserved something good to happen in their lives. Though somethings that happen in this book would normally feel like they're happening too fast, the writing was so good and the story so captivating, you are right there with the characters and its comes all naturally.

I recently started reading women's fiction books and Robyn Carr is becoming my fast favourite authors of this genre, so I highly recommend this book!
