Publisher's summary

A #1 Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestseller.

New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown brings together two wounded hearts in a Texas romance of second chances and twice-in-a-lifetime true love.

Inheriting the Magnolia Inn, a Victorian home nestled in the East Texas pines, is a fantasy come true for Jolene Broussard. After living with the guilt of failing to rescue her self-destructive mother, Jolene knows her aunt and uncle’s B&B is the perfect jump start for a new life and a comforting place to call home. There’s just one hitch: stubborn and moody carpenter Tucker Malone. He’s got a half interest in the Magnolia Inn, and he’s planting his dusty cowboy boots squarely in the middle of her dream.

Ever since his wife’s death, Tucker’s own guilt and demons have left him as guarded as Jolene. The last thing he expects is for his new partner to stir something inside him he thought was gone forever. And as wary as Jolene is, she may have found a kindred spirit - someone she can help, and someone she can hold on to.

Restoring the Magnolia Inn is the first step toward restoring their hearts. Will they be able to let go of the past and trust each other to do it together?

Critic reviews

“Brown tugs hard at the heartstrings with an emotional contemporary about a grieving widower and a vulnerable bartender…The author does a first-rate job of depicting the devastating stages of grief, provides a simple but appealing plot with a sympathetic hero and heroine and a cast of lovable supporting characters, and wraps it all up with a happily ever after to cheer for.” (Publishers Weekly)

I loved this story!

I was skeptical to get this audiobook at first as it's not my usual type of listen. I was pleasantly surprised. The story is a nice and soothing story. I didn't want to stop listening. Great story by Carolyn Brown and the narration by Brittany Pressley brought all the characters and locations to life. GREAT WORK!

Heartwarming story, great narration

Brittany Presley provided a great narration. She used different voices for each character and spoke at a comfortable place. I usually speed up audiobooks a bit, but I listened to this one at the given pace.

Overall, the story had some cliche themes and the ending to the book was obvious from the start. But the writing was good, the character distinct, and the struggles of the characters relatable. A completely heartwarming, slow burn romance about two people learning to heal from their pasts.
