Total dedication can be a killer. Mia Morgan, homewares queen, is given the choice. Take a break and regroup or the board will terminate her employment. With little choice and less enthusiasm, she heads to Hope Island to stay at the Bed and Breakfast the managing director booked for her. Matt Hope loves to mother people. It's what he does best and where his talents shine. Nobody can channel Martha Stewart quite like Matt can. But Mia isn't an easy client. She's angry about her enforced stay, annoyed that for the next four weeks, she has to find something other than work to keep her occupied. Before long, Matt’s easy going nature starts to wear off on her and she begins to enjoy herself. Just when things start looking good, Mia’s world is thrown into chaos and everything goes wrong, pulling the young lovers apart. Can Matt convince her that they deserve another chance or will her steely determination keep them at arms length?
I swear I was born with a book in my hand and that is how I spent most of my childhood. That was fine until I got older and the voices in my head demanded to be heard and I started to write. The voices are no quieter but there are less of them.
This is a review of book #4, Worth Fighting For, by Ann B. Harrison, in her Hope Harbor series. The 4-book Hope Harbor series depicts a slower paced life on an island offshore from hectic-paced Seattle. Matt Hope owns and oversees a classic bed and breakfast on Hope Island. Matt has always found enjoyment through helping other people. He’d tailor-made to run a B and B.
Mia Morgan, the brain-thrust behind Morgan Homewares is a young woman without a life. She’s the description of a workaholic. It’s partially because she is very self-driven, and partially because after her parents died, she used work to mask her pain. Her Uncle Ryan, her only relative, has dedicated himself to watching over Mia and to handling the administrative side of the Morgan Homewares conglomerate. Ryan realizes that the company has outgrown their ability to manage it and initiates changes.
Uncle Ryan and Atticus Hope, Matt’s father, are old friends. Unknown to everyone, Atticus sits on Morgan Homewares’ Board of Directors. Ryan arranges for and imposes a mandatory vacation for Mia on Hope Island. She reluctantly agrees. There’s a connection between Mia and Matt from the beginning. He falls head over heels. Her heart says yes, but her head is focused on her company. Uncle Ryan has a medical emergency. There are short term implications, and long-term implications for Mia.
Will Uncle Ryan physically recover? Will Mia and Uncle Ryan forge a future for themselves and for Morgan Homewares? Will Mia include Matt in her future? Will Matt still be interested? Will Mia and Matt fight for a joint future that everyone is cheering for? Worth Fighting For is an incredible story!
This is the fourth book in this series. While the series can be read as a stand alone quite easily. But this is a book about an Island called Hope Harbor and the family that started and pretty much run the town. This is Matt Hope and Mia Morgan's story. Matt runs the local Bed and Breakfast and what a wonderful homey B&B it is. Mia is a billionaire who has come to the island on a forced vacation. She is staying in Matt's B&B and she helps him with his redecorating while he helps her this life skills. This is a wonderful loving romance about family and life.
Stories in the series were very good. Whole series was good. Problem was with editing. There were names that were wrong, words not altered, amendments left in. Better editing was/is required But the stories themselves were great
Eu gosto muito dessa série, a autora consegue trabalhar alguns temas dolorosos com muita leveza. E nesse livro essa característica se faz presente. Mia e Matt são muito diferentes e a trama explora os contrastes entre suas personalidades e desafios individuais.
I loved reading about Matt and Mia. Another fantabulous story by Ann B. Harrison. I loved all of the books in this series. I enjoyed catching up with the other characters in this book.
