Molly Elliott’s quiet life in Tallahassee, Florida, is disrupted when routine errands land her in the wrong place at the wrong time: the middle of a bank robbery.
Cranberry Bluff by Deborah Garner
Accused and cleared of the crime, she flees both media attention and mysterious, threatening notes, to move across the country to Cranberry Cove, where she has inherited her Aunt Maggie’s bed and breakfast on the Northern California coast. Her new beginning is peaceful – that is, until five guests show up at the inn for a weekend, each with a hidden agenda.

Her new beginning is peaceful – that is, until five guests show up at the inn for a weekend, each with a hidden agenda.
Mix together one blushing honeymoon couple, one flamboyant boutique owner, a deadpan traveling salesman, and a charmingly handsome novelist, and there’s more than scones cooking at Cranberry Cottage Bed and Breakfast. As true motives become apparent, will Molly’s past come back to haunt her or will she finally be able to leave it behind?

Deborah's Christmas Wishes...
"If I could have any Christmas wish come true, it would be for every homeless pet to find a furever home. I wish I could see each one under the Christmas tree of a loving family, wearing a Santa hat that says "No Longer Abandoned."
Fondest Christmas Moment...
"When I was young, we always celebrated Christmas at my grandparents' house. There was a stairway from the upstairs bedrooms that descended into a large living room. That first glimpse of the room from the top of the stairs, with the decorated tree, presents and, most important, family gathered around, was always magic."

The plot sounds interesting, a modern take on an old theme. I don't think a reader ever gets tired of interaction between strangers. It's like eavesdropping. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteYes, and in a book it's like getting to eavesdrop without the guilt ;) So glad you stopped by to enjoy Beck Valley Books' Advent Calendar :)
DeleteIt sounds very interesting, I will look out for it for the Christmas break. I am looking forward to some quiet days off to do some reading x
ReplyDeleteNothing better than reading on quiet days. Just the right way to spend a Christmas break :) I wish you a great holiday season.
DeleteThis sounds interesting enough that I just went in and bought it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I hope you like it :) Enjoy a wonderful holiday season :)
DeleteOooh I like the sound of this. Think I will have to put it on my list :) xx

I'd love about a month of uninterrupted time to dive into my "to read list." There's never enough time for reading :) Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Deletesounds very interesting, now all i have to do is to find some more "me" time for reading
ReplyDeleteYes, time is always the problem. My stack of TBR books just gets taller and taller. Maybe the holiday season will bring us a little "me" time. We can hope :)
DeleteI've just recently re-covered my love of novels. I'm definitely interested in taking a look at this one. x
ReplyDeleteI can't seem to get enough of fiction and need to remind myself to check out non-fiction sometimes, as well. Novels are such a great escape! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Have a wonderful holiday season :)
