THE INN AT BLUE HOLLOW FALLS by Donna Kauffman was an easy pick for this month’s Quickie category for our TBR Challenge. I fell in love with the characters in the BLUE HOLLOW FALLS series in 2018 when I discovered this author through the cover of book one, Blue Hollow Falls. It has a historic greenhouse on it, and since horticulture was one of my chosen careers, I’m attracted to all things plant related.
THE INN AT BLUE HOLLOW FALLS continues with more about this gorgeous greenhouse as it’s being renovated. Sunny’s best friend and previous co-worker, Stevie, comes to help her with her orchid project.
Of course, who can forget Noah the Innkeeper? And lucky for Stevie that’s where she’s staying. And there’s a wicked snowstorm. Plus, they’re cooking up more than food in the kitchen while they wait for the newly hired chef to arrive.
Stevie and Noah are adorable and sexy together. From the beginning, I was convinced they were meant to be together, if they’d take time to resolve their possible long-distance relationship.
Some authors have a knack for novellas and Donna Kauffman was one of them. The hardest thing was discovering we lost this amazing author to pancreatic cancer in 2020. That especially resonates with me since I was diagnosed with Chronic Pancreatitis in 2019. It’s a frustrating thing to live with, so I can empathize with what Donna endured.
I think anyone can pick up THE INN AT BLUE HOLLOW FALLS and enjoy it without reading the rest of the series. That would give you a taste of Donna Kauffman’s talent. I have the whole series because I had to have them all. Next up for me is BLUESTONE & VINE, book two.
I’ve already read BLUE HOLLOW FALLS, book one, and LAVENDER BLUE, book three. Click the links to read my reviews. Book four, UNDER A FIREFLY MOON is on my TBR as well. There are also three more novellas to complete the set – CHRISTMAS IN BLUE HOLLOW FALLS, LAVENDER & MISTLETOE, and NEW BEGINNINGS.
