Synopsis

Lisa Hodges needs to make a decision fast. Thanks to her dead husband’s gambling addiction, their savings is almost gone. In her early fifties with a large waterfront home on Nantucket to support, Lisa hasn’t worked in over thirty years, has no in-demand skills, and is virtually unemployable. Her only options are to sell the house and move off-island or, since she has cooking and entertaining skills, turn her home into a bed and breakfast. She desperately needs that plan to succeed because she has four grown children with problems of their own and she wants to stay close to them. Her oldest daughter, Kate, has a fabulous career in Boston—working as a writer for a popular fashion magazine and engaged to a dangerously handsome photographer who none of them have met. Kate's twin, a local artist named Kristen, has been reasonably content with her on-again-off-again relationship with an older separated businessman. Her son Chase runs his own construction business and is carefree, happily dating here and there but nothing serious. Youngest daughter Abby is happily married to her high-school sweetheart, and they've been trying to have a baby. But it hasn't happened yet, and Abby wonders if it's a sign that maybe their marriage isn't as perfect as everyone thinks. Come visit Nantucket and see how Lisa's new bed and breakfast has an impact on almost everyone in her family.

Goodreads review by Laura Corriveau on June 07, 2019

Very amateurish writing. I only completed this book to see how relationships would work out, but the end left me flat. I know Kelley is planning on a second book, but not sure I will put myself through another one. Don’t know what all the 5 star ratings are about ..... I only awarded the book 3 star......more

I saw someone post about this book on Instagram and decided to buy a copy because of their enthusiasm for it (and the entire series!). I’m happy to say that I really enjoyed it too. This is a women’s fiction novel that takes place on Nantucket and follows the Hodges family- the mother Lisa and her t......more

Goodreads review by Angela on August 01, 2020

This book was light and easy with nary a conflict that lasted longer than a paragraph and where every outcome was a pleasant one. Time had no meaning: if you want a BnB... it's there. If you want to write a book...blammmo. Book written and movie deal I the works. Do you like food? Lobster quiche is......more

Goodreads review by Tiffany on March 05, 2025

Gosh, this book sucked me right in. I am a sucker for most Nantucket based stories. Whenever I think of Nantucket, I automatically think of Elin Hilderbrand - I love her books. I had never heard of this author, but I am glad I gave it a chance. Some of the 'drama' is a little soap opera-ish, but typ......more

I loved this first book in A Beach Plum Cove series. I can't wait to read the rest of the series. You are going to want to be friends with these characters and you are going to want to stay at this Bed and Breakfast. I HIGHLY recommend this book.......more
