Booklist Review

As far as B. J. Clark is concerned, the Lakeside Inn is perfect the way it is. Guests love the old-fashioned, peaceful vibe the inn exudes, which is why they keep coming back year after year. So if Taylor Reynolds, the inn's new owner, has any ideas about trying to turn it into some fancy-pants resort, B. J. will be more than happy to set him straight. Taylor arrives at the Lakeside Inn, fully intending to bring it up to date with the rest of the luxury hotels he owns, only to find spirited, spunky B. J. intent on fighting him every step of the way. While Taylor has plenty of experience dealing with recalcitrant employees, this is the first time he has ever been tempted to kiss one. While the manner in which romance initially blossoms between B. J. and Taylor might give labor relations experts a severe case of hives, this romance, originally published more than 35 years ago, aptly illustrates that genre superstar Roberts mastered early her gifts for creating engaging characters and crafting a compelling story.--Charles, John Copyright 2017 Booklist
