Lottie is heading home for the summer to work in her family B&B in Blue Falls, Idaho. Her job as a teacher doesn't pay that well, and living in a big city means money is tight. Knowing the handsome cop Leo on the flight back was delightful, but not much else. // Leo is one of the heirs to the Heathcliff fortune... he already has a billion dollar trust fund, not that he needed it as a police detective. But when his grandpa said the family resort in Blue Falls is not doing well, something is definitely wrong. The resort is first class, but the place is less than half full when it should be completely full. // Leo and Lottie arrived in town and soon realized their respective families are at all-out war, both sides claiming the other has sabotaged their business. But something wasn't adding up. With battle lines being drawn, Leo and Lottie will have to choose sides...
Ah, that's a nice romantic suspense mixed with some small-town charm and comedy, and a nice dose of mystery. The setup took a while, but it was worth it. 4.5/5

GRR Reviews Bella and the BIllionaire Beast by Julia Keanini
Bella survived her divorce when her dream husband fell to the influence of drugs and disappeared. She moved across the country with her son to investigate an opportunity, only to see it fall through. When a reclusive billionaire wanted to fund her dream of a fashion line, she had to see how it pans out... // West went to prison and is back out, having lost his family, his looks, and more. He's not through paying for his sins. He knew Bella is struggling, and he has plenty of money to make things right, but he also knew she would never take a penny from him... So he had to use a pseudonym... But it's clear Bella and West are not over each other. What will Bella do when she found the truth? Can the broken family be reunited?
Basically a retelling of "Beauty and the Beast", the plot was slightly forced at times. He was stalking his ex-family like Robocop sometimes does (in the TV series) and protect them in the shadows in the beginning, and his family somehow is still rich enough to fund whatever he wanted including a full household staff (technically they're his sister's staff). And Bella's son was able to accept the scarred and tattooed beast as his father with no fuss, no muss. Eh... Okay, I guess.
