Katie Lost and Found is a reunion / fated mates story about an innkeeper finding her love again. It was slightly exasperating to read.
Tess Weldon had an unforgettable summer in Europe with Jan Pieter Kosten, but she had to go home and soon lost touch when she was forced to move. She eventually became housekeeper and then head housekeeper until she was noticed by the Walnut Lodge owner "Jim", who found her to be the best person and asked her to marry him so he can give her the Lodge fair and square. He died soon after and she became the owner/manager, having no life outside of it, for the staff was her family and the lodge her home. She sometimes dreamed of her lover from 16 years ago... Until one day his name, now shortened to Peter Kosten, appeared on the Lodge guest list... Peter Kosten is now a renowned architect and divorcee. His marriage to company owner's daughter did not work out. His discovery of Tess (back then known as K.T., or Katie) can only be serendipity, and he's determined to make a go at this second chance... If Tess can only let him back in...
The meet-cute is cute, the rest of the romance was basically he devised a plan to woo her heart while not getting too close to spook her. The plans are quite good... but this book will often have you sigh in exasperation... Dangit, woman, why can't you just accept the love for ... uh... second time in your life?!
