About this ebook

A jilted bride falls in love with a struggling innkeeper during a romantic mountain getaway in this heartwarming second installment of the Bluebell Inn Romance series.

Rising Hollywood star Mia Emerson is looking for a safe place to land in the wake of a public breakup and celebrity scandal, and she finds it in the lake town of Bluebell, North Carolina—the location of her canceled honeymoon. She wants nothing more than to hide and wait for the tabloids to die down.

Soon after her arrival at the Bluebell Inn, Mia meets Levi Bennett, who runs the inn along with his two younger sisters. Drawn to one another from the start, Mia trusts Levi to keep her location from the press, and Levi confides in Mia about the precarious financial state of the inn—a secret he’s been keeping from his sisters.

When Mia and Levi discover an old journal that hints at a rare diamond necklace hidden in the inn, they set off on a treasure hunt to find the long-lost heirloom. What they don’t expect to surface are feelings they thought were safely locked away. Mia and Levi must decide if falling in love again is too big a risk—or if it will uncover a treasure of its own instead.

Carolina Breeze by Denise Hunter is a sweet contemporary romance. Although this latest release is the second installment in the Bluebell Inn Romance series, it can be read as a standalone. Levi Bennett and his sisters Molly and Grace are in the their second year of owning a bed and breakfast. The siblings are working hard to make their business a success so they can follow through with their plan to sell the business once it becomes solvent. Levi is handling the marketing and accounting along with manning the front desk and taking care of maintenance. He longs to return Colorado, but he cannot go back on the promise he made to take care of his sisters. Levi is a compassionate man but he is a little overzealous when it comes to his sisters. Actress Mia Emerson wants to put as much space between her and Hollywood as possible following an unexpected scandal. While not enthused about honeymooning alone, her room at the Bluebell Inn is paid for so that is the logical place for her to escape the media attention. She is a little wary of trusting Levi’s promise he will not try to cash in on her celebrity. But as they spend time together, she gradually trusts him to keep his word. Mia has a family tie to the B&B so she is excited to learn as much as she can about her estranged grandparents. Her easygoing friendship with Levi slowly turns into an unanticipated romance, but will Levi’s sense of responsibility and Mia’s insecurities ruin their chance for a future together? Carolina Breeze is a charming romance with appealing characters and interesting storyline. Levi and Mia’s respective issues are realistically portrayed and easy to relate to. Their relationship is heartwarming and a true joy to watch unfold. The tranquil setting is atmospheric and vibrantly springs to life. Denise Hunter brings this delightful romance to a heartfelt conclusion that is quite uplifting. Old and new fans are sure to love this newest addition the Bluebell Inn Romance series. I received a complimentary copy for review.
