Is La Nora losing her touch? Or is she just so in love with the idea of sharing her real-life inn with her readers that her story is suffering by comparison? Not only was the Inn the star of this book, but the main couple, Avery and Owen, were barely in focus. I felt like it was an ensemble story -- the next step for Beck & Claire (whose romance in the first book WAS satisfying alongside the DIY porn* of the inn remodel, so it CAN be done), hints at Ryder & Hope, developing the ghost's backstory, giving Justine and Willy B a romance (though the boys' reaction to that was Funny As Hell), and Avery deciding to open a second restaurant. Somewhere in there, she and Owen moved from friends to lovers, but if you blink, you miss it.
