Carolina Breeze
by Denise Hunter
When an innkeeper desperate to fulfill his promise to his father to take care of his sisters is introduced to the world of glamorous movie stars and paparazzi, his own world is turned upside down. Levi Bennett tries to fix everything for everybody, but he takes on more than he can handle when he meets the gorgeous Mia Emerson retreating from heartbreak and a scandal.
Beautiful Bluebell, N.C., is the perfect place for Mia to recover with the sympathetic and discreet Bennett siblings taking up her cause. Romance is in the air for Levi and Mia as well as for Levi’s sister Molly who was the focus of the first book in the series. Just when things start to look up, there are realistic twists and turns that shake things up for the characters. But disasters and surprises can be part of God’s plan, and He can bring good out of them as the characters in Carolina Breeze by Denise Hunter, a clean romance with a bit of mystery, soon discover.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Memorable Lines:
Using people is wrong. Using their feelings against them is even worse.
It was time to get serious about her faith again. She was learning to let down her walls with people, but she needed to let God in too. Him, most of all.
The movie had been going on for a while, but her mind was on other things…All of it was tangled up in her head like last year’s Christmas lights.

Lovely review Linda. I am so happy you are enjoying this series. I also loved this one and want to continue on to see what is next for the siblings.

Yes, me too. I made sure it is already on my iPad and ready to go. Unfortunately, it will have to wait its turn.

Thanks. It makes you ponder the advisability of making the oldest child feel responsibility for his or her siblings. It is easy to see why it happens, but it can be a big burden.

I was it, and it was a burden, of sorts, but it also generated a lot of respect to their elders as a concept, as well as a sense of responsibility for the younger ones.

My book club has chosen a book that was published in October of this year. Yikes the price is high! Now I am caught between supporting my local bookseller by asking her to order the book, which she will do at below the list price but still high, or buying the ebook from Amazon. So, I feel your pain.

Ebook is expensive on Amazon. I stopped buying physical books from when my niece was born and realized nature is dwindling… So if the book ever goes down in its price, I Wil snap it up. I have placed it on wishlist which I keep checking every few hours

I’ll have to look into wish list. I have looked at it in buying presents, but never created one for myself.

Several have come across my path recently and I have enjoyed them. They even make me want to take a trip. Covid has certainly put a damper on traveling. Who wants to fly on an airline that kicks a family off a plane because a two year old won’t wear a mask? 😱 I have yet to meet a two year old whose behavior is predictable.😉

No kidding!! That was so extreme! Traveling was bad enough before…I have to admit airline travel has zero appeal to me these days, even before Covid, I prefer to travel through books 🙂

Yes, traveling through books is safer and in some ways just as much fun!
