Charming

Book blurb

Kate Minton’s life is collapsing. She’s fired, her estranged father dies, and her girlfriend dumps her. Her older half-brothers inherit everything, and all Kate gets is a remote, rundown Idaho cabin that no one knew existed. But if Kate lives there for a year, she’ll inherit half a million dollars. The move leads her to family secrets and an infuriating, and inconveniently sexy, contractor. She goes for the money, but will she stay for something deeper?

Riley Anderson lives in rural Idaho, helping her aunt run the family store and maintaining her construction business, while also avoiding dealing with a past that continues to haunt her. When she takes on Kate’s cabin renovations, she’s not impressed with the city slicker. But as they’re forced to spend time together, they find they have more in common than either of them could have ever imagined.

Will the pull of the big city be too much to resist? Will Riley find the strength to trust Kate, or will cabin fever be too much to bear?

My thoughts

A story of Kate and Riley who meet when Kate moves to Idaho after inheriting a cabin. The inheritance is timely as Kate has lost her job and struggles to find a new one, probably because of her old boss, so she decides to take the challenge presented and then she gets a chance at finding a future with a loving family and a new life with the one woman she grows to love. Will that love be returned or are the demons from the past too difficult to overcome?

Riley hasn’t had much luck in love but that’s mainly her own fault. She’s lucky to be a part of a wonderful family that saved her from a terrible life and she is grateful for that but will she ever be able to move forward and let love in? When Riley meets Kate and the possibility becomes real will she be able to let Kate into her life and heart?

I totally agree with this quote all the characters are delightful and Aunt Lily is particularly lovely, one of those characters that would make reading the book worthwhile by themselves. Of course, there are a host of other characters also well worth reading Cabin Fever for including the two main characters.

This is a sweet romance with a sad and somewhat dark storyline that explores the consequences of religious fundamentalism without becoming overwhelming, it’s a lovely and heartwarming story I enjoyed.
