A Father for Bella

GIVEAWAY
WEATHERHOLT, JILL
A FATHER FOR BELLA

 Another roadblock...or the family she's looking for?

When single mom Faith Brennan discovers the Virginia inn she grew up in is for sale, she's determined to make a bid. Even if that means going head-to-head with handsome real estate broker Joshua Carlson. But competing with Joshua would be a lot easier if Faith's young daughter wasn't growing so attached to him...and if Faith could stop picturing running the inn with Joshua by her side.

My Review:

Emotions engaged and heart all a-flutter about sums up this touching contemporary romance. Bella is sweetly determined to keep Joshua around -- preferably as her daddy! Joshua is coming around to the idea but things are a whole lot of complicated thanks to Faith and her desire to own the same inn he's determined to bid on -- and win -- in an upcoming auction. But Black Bear Inn and Ski Resort is home to the widowed mom and her daughter. And their livelihood. If Joshua follows through on his plans Faith and Bella will be left out in the cold.

Weatherholt does an incredible job of weaving the lives and hopes of this hero and heroine into a captivating love story. Both have an emotional connection to the inn and valid reasons for wanting to own it. Usually in this type of story I'm firmly on one side or other but I felt for both Joshua and Faith. Talk about emotional yo-yoing! Fractured dreams have the potential to become new memories if these two have the faith -- and the fortitude -- to create a future together.

    I literally just won this today on a FB contest and I can not wait!! What's sweeter than a little girl not only reading, but reading to her teddy bear? The makings of a reader for life :-)

    Such a sweet cover and storyline!
