Here to Stay

About the Book:

After playing nomad for five years, Blake Hunziker has finally had enough of adventure. Not sure what reception he'll get from everyone back in Whisper Shore, he's stunned at not only a warm welcome from his hometown but also a job offer. The job is his if he can successfully pull off the annual Christmas Festival. If only he knew the first thing about coordinating events...

If there's one thing Autumn Kingsley knows, it's Whisper Shore. For years, she's been stuck running her family's inn when all she wants is to see the world. Now she has a visit scheduled from a potential investor who could take over the inn, as well as a dream job offer in Paris. But with just two weeks to whip the inn into shape, her chance at escape is a long shot.

The Hunzikers and the Kingsleys may not get along, but Blake knows Autumn's the only one who can help him. She agrees to a trade--she'll help with the Festival and he'll help with inn repairs. But what was meant to be a simple deal quickly becomes much more than that when the guy who's done running away joins forces with the girl who can't wait to leave.

My Thoughts on This Book:

WOW! I was so excited about reading this book after reading the first one in the series "Made to Last". Following Blake Hunziker, aka Blaze in the first book as Miranda Woodruff's fake husband. We now get to dig deeper into Blake's character in the second installment. After coming home from years astray, he was unsure how his presence would be taken since he feels guilty over his brother's death. Wanting to find purpose in his life, he helps his father resurrect the Christmas festival by coordinating. Not sure if his existence in town would be welcome, he asks inn manager, Autumn to help out. Since Autumn has good standing in the community and has helped out in previous years he knows he could win over the town with her help..

Autumn is in desperate need of someone to take over her run down inn. She's looking for someone to invest so she can find a new life in Paris, France. She decides reluctantly to help Blake with the Christmas Festival, only to employ his services to help fix up the inn. Sparks fly quickly as both work closely together on festivities and inn repair. Will Autumn find love in a place she can't wait to escape and will Blake finally feel content with his life to seek out love and stability? You will find out and more in this wonderful book by Melissa Tagg. A new favorite author of mine... Awesome!
