Clara Morgan is the definition of young, successful and independent woman. She made her way to the top in stilettos by herself, the only help she received was from Barbara, her boss, friend and Jiminy Cricket.
She's given her ultimate task before her well earned promotion, one she's been waiting for months and that can only mean it's time for her to go to the Hudson Valley. She's hired and unwanted, her new job may take longer than she would hope for. Facing many problems with Archie, her new employer and hotel owner, and the hotel she's planning to rebrand. Her attachment problems, new found friendships, old dilemmas and new love interest are going to make her life take a 180° turn, will she be ready for it?

What I liked:
  • Clara's attitude in the beginning of the book was of a true boss lady that knew how to get her hands dirty. She had the confidence and experience that was needed. 
  • Archie's resilience to her, to the changes and life in general. It's an interesting character and it grows to be more and more likeable as the book goes on. 
  • Clara's background and her story, because even when they don't disclose it until the end of the book, it was well managed. 
  • The way they connect the two main characters through similar pain. It's true that broken souls find each other and how it isn't instant, they go through doubt a lot until they find themselves back together. 
What I didn't like.
  • How they pushed the other characters,even when Roxie and Natalie knew Clara from before, they still pushed some of her buttons and make her uncomfortable. 
  • The connection with the name of the book. The only reference is made towards the middle of the book and it never comes back. 
It's a good book, my second favourite from the series, it touches on abandonment issues, again, issues that aren't talked about enough but are important. The ending was something similar but different and I actually enjoyed it a lot. For me it's a 4 out of 5.
