INN AT LAST CHANCE by Hope Ramsay is book seven in her
Last
Chance series. Jenny Carpenter is trying to get the
home she just
purchased ready to become a Bed and Breakfast. She is only
a few
months away from the opening when Gabriel Raintree shows up.
He is a
famous horror author and a local celebrity. She isn't ready
to rent out
rooms but Gabe has nowhere else to go and she reluctantly
lets him stay.
His family is the one who sold the house to Jenny. It was
where he grew
up.
Once Gabe moves in to his room, which is really Jenny's
room, strange
things start to happen. A cooked chicken that Jenny is
carving
mysteriously flies across the table and lands in the
reverend's lap. A china
closet suddenly tips over. A story that Gabe is working on
is deleted from
his laptop and no one can figure it what is going on and who
is doing it.
When Gabe was young he had an older brother, Luke, who was
killed in an
accidental shooting. Everyone has always believed that it
was Zeph, the
town carpenter, who shot Luke, but Zeph is hiding the truth.
Gabe was
there but doesn't remember what happened. No one will tell
Gabe what
happened that day and he knows he has to be told the truth
in order to
move on.
As strange incidents keep happening at the inn, Gabe and
Jenny both
believe they are being visited by Luke's ghost. For some
reason his spirit
seems to be in limbo and can't move on. All the while,
memories are
starting to return to Gabe and he isn't sure which ones are
true and which
ones are just his over active imagination. Someone has to
tell him what
happened when Luke was shot? Why won't Zeph tell him what
happened??
I love this series. Every time I read one of the Last
Chance books, it's like
coming back to my old family and friends. I love how The
characters don't
just disappear once the book has ended. Hope keeps bringing
them back,
even if only for one chapter in each and every book. INN AT
LAST
CHANCE is a very entertaining read. This is without a
doubt, a love story,
the story of Jenny and Gabriel. Hope Ramsay does a great job
at writing
romance. I have read this entire series, which is a light
romantic series.
Each novel can stand alone but it is better to have read the
earlier stories.
Give it a try, you wont be sorry. I'm sure in no time, you
will be caught up in
the characters lives and flipping the pages madly until you
finish.
Jenny Carpenter is the unrivaled pie-baking champion of Last
Chance, South Carolina's annual Watermelon Festival and the
town's unofficial spinster. With her dream of marriage and
children on hold, she focuses on another dream, turning the
local haunted house into a charming bed-and-breakfast. But
her plans go off course when the home's former owner shows
up on her doorstep on a dark and stormy night . . .
Mega-bestselling horror writer Gabriel Raintree is as
mysterious and tortured as his heroes. His family's
long-deserted mansion is just the inspiration he needs to
finish his latest twisted tale, or so he thinks until he
learns it's been sold. The new innkeeper proves to be as
determined as she is kind, and soon Gabriel finds himself a
paying guest in his own home. As Jenny and Gabe bring new
passion to the old house, can she convince him to leave the
ghosts of his past behind-and make Last Chance their first
choice for a future together?
