The Nantucket Inn (Nantucket Beach Plum Cove Book 1)

Lisa Hodges lived on Nantucket and had done so for a long time. Now that her husband had died, and Lisa had discovered the state of their finances, she knew she needed to make a decision. Sell the house and move away from Nantucket, or turn her home into a B&B. Her son Chase, was all for the B&B and said he'd help her modify the house to keep her area private. Meanwhile Lisa's eldest daughter Kate had just arrived back home from Boston, where she'd been retrenched from her position with a popular magazine on the same day she discovered her fiance in bed with another woman. Kristen, Kate's twin, was an artist, and with a man who was separated but not divorced. Abby, Lisa's youngest, was married to Jeff and they'd been trying to fall pregnant, including rounds with IVF, and their relationship was becoming rough.As the family members, all close and loving, tried to work their way through the weeks and months ahead, changes were in the wind. The B&B saw some unexpected guests, Kate settled into life back home and Kristen had some wonderful news. But would life continue to have ups and downs on the beautiful Nantucket island?The Nantucket Inn is the 1st in the Nantucket Beach Plum Cove series plus my first by Pamela M. Kelley and I thoroughly enjoyed it. With excellent characters, normal, down to earth people, a great plot and a feel good vibe about the whole book, I can easily recommend it, and I look forward to the next in the series.

The Nantucket Inn by Pamela Kelley is the first book in the Nantucket Beach Plum Cove series. After the death of her husband, Lisa Hodges discovers their financial security wasn’t there. She needs to make a decision fast. She decides to turn her house into a bed and breakfast. The lives of her three daughters are coming to life changing decisions as well. Kate, the oldest, has a wonderful career in Boston and is engaged to a photographer. Until a series of events sends her back home to Nantucket. Kristen, Kate’s twin sister, is a local artist and finds herself frustrated with her boyfriend who keeps making promises and doubts he’ll make good on them. Abby, the youngest, is happily married to her high school sweetheart. But after another failed IVF attempt, she questions if they are truly happy.The Nantucket Inn was a fast-paced, engaging story. The women are likable and relatable. I cheered for them as they stood up for what they wanted and weren't afraid to say enough’s enough. Lisa actually has four children. There is a son, Chase, who doesn’t have much of a role in this story. However, I’m sure he’ll show up with a story of his own in the series. There was a little opposition to Lisa’s bed and breakfast. Violet, a neighbor and fellow bed and breakfast owner, and I have a feeling she’ll be trouble for Lisa in the future. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. I recommend The Nantucket Inn. It is a great read for a lazy afternoon.The Nantucket Inn is available in paperback, eBook, and audiobook

She never has to ask you straight out because she knows you’re hurting. With her siblings and mom’s help everything turns out greater than expected for everyone.

I found the book intriguing! The characters were interesting and very likable. It was fun to learn things about Nantucket. I know some on fiction, but tidbits of true parts of the island.

I really liked this book. This book is for romantics. I couldn't believe it when I got to the end of the book. I was so wrapped up in the lives of the characters that I expected it to go on. Looking forward to reading the next book.

It’s a series so a financial commitment.

The majority of the time, I found this book to be entertaining. I appreciated reading about the joys and sorrows shared with Lisa's girls and could identify with her and her family. It was a really genuine and credible story.Although the plot isn't particularly exciting, its relatability keeps you interested. The book is clean; there are no explicit sex scenes, and there are few vulgarities. However, there are several grammar mistakes, and the incorrect terms were used rather frequently, which is somewhat irritating.The book is acceptable but with some updates and modifications, it might be lot better.

This book is easy to read with a story set in a joyful family environment. Each member of the family is going through transitions in their relationships, all predictably ending positively.

Characters are believable. The story moves quickly.The ending is a let down and the book feels unfinished to the reader

It was an easy read, light, but interesting. I enjoyed it.

Really enjoyed the book short ending only thing.

A lovely little read. Looking forward to her next one
