Beckett Montgomery has a busy life, working in the family business and restoring an historic inn to its former glory. He doesn't have time for a private life, but wants to make time when he sees Clare Murphy Brewster. Beck had a crush on Clare at the age of fifteen. He's never gotten over her. Clare married her sweetheart and moved away. Now she is back in town, a widow with three rambunctious boys. And, she's right across the street from the inn. Suddenly Beck is volunteering to give Clare a private tour of the inn, even if it cuts into his workday.

This is the first book in The Inn at Boonsboro series. It's a fictional account of the restoration of the real inn that is owned by the author and her family. I found the information about rebuilding and refurbishing the building to be very interesting. It was a very large part of the story, almost a character in itself. There is also a ghost at the inn. I liked how that was handled. It gave the story a light paranormal twist that enhanced the contemporary romance.

The relationship between Beckett and Clare was nice, but not very exciting. There were a few obstacles in their way, but nothing that would really put a halt to a relationship. Clare's boys were a wonderful addition to the book. Their relationship with Beck was a highlight for me. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
