Here to Stay
Autumn Kingsley loves the inn on the shores of Lake Michigan that has been in her family for generations, but living in Paris has long been her dream. Now that she is responsible for the inn and its employees, an offer of a job in Paris could finally make her dream come true, but first she has to ensure the inn’s future well-being. Blake Hunziker, who masqueraded as a celebrity’s husband in Tagg’s Made to Last (2013), returns to Whisper Shore, where his hotelier family and the Kingsleys have had a Hatfield-McCoy relationship. While Autumn’s inn seems to be literally falling apart (yes, a bathtub has landed on the dining room table!), Blake, who has been estranged from his family, has just experienced a prodigal son’s return and been offered a job coordinating the town’s winter festival. For the good of their community and the future of their family businesses, Autumn becomes festival co-coordinator. Tagg’s signature gentle humor, clean romance, and an integrated and unobtrusive inclusion of faith into the story make for another enjoyable read. --Diana Tixier Herald
