Goodreads:  A jilted bride. A struggling innkeeper. And a romantic mountain getaway that changes everything.

Rising Hollywood star Mia Emerson is looking for a safe place to land in the wake of a public breakup and 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 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.

This Bluebell Inn romance takes us to a quiet North Carolina retreat that holds more secrets than it shares.

Ope’s Opinion: This is the second in the Bluebell Inn Romance series.  It could be read alone, but the first one is just as good, so you shouldn’t miss it.  You do see some of the characters from the first book and their stories have been moved along.

Levi’s story was perfect for him.  He needs to take care of people and Mia needs to be taken care of, so they are a good match.  It was great to read the slow burn of their attraction to each other.  They had some stumbling blocks along the way.

The ending is what you expect and want, it just seemed a bit rushed.
