Friday Memes: The Perfect Hope by Nora Roberts


Happy Friday everybody!
Book Beginnings on Friday is now hosted by Rose City Reader. The Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice. Check out the links above for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

This week I am spotlighting The Perfect Hope by Nora Roberts. This one is from my TBR mountain and is the third book in the Inn BoonsBoro trilogy. I really enjoy Nora Roberts' romances. Here is the description:
A new novel of starting over and star-crossed love.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts introduces you to the Montgomery brothers—Beckett, Ryder, and Owen—as they bring an intimate bed-and-breakfast to life in their hometown.

Ryder is the hardest Montgomery brother to figure out—with a tough-as-nails outside and possibly nothing too soft underneath. He’s surly and unsociable, but when he straps on a tool belt, no woman can resist his sexy swagger. Except apparently Hope Beaumont, the innkeeper of his own Inn BoonsBoro…

As the former manager of a D.C. hotel, Hope is used to excitement and glamour, but that doesn’t mean she can’t appreciate the joys of small-town living. She’s where she wants to be—except for in her love life. Her only interaction with the opposite sex has been sparring with the infuriating Ryder, who always seems to get under her skin. Still, no one can deny the electricity that crackles between them…a spark that ignited with a New Year’s Eve kiss.

While the Inn is running smoothly, thanks to Hope’s experience and unerring instincts, her big-city past is about to make an unwelcome—and embarrassing—appearance. Seeing Hope vulnerable stirs up Ryder’s emotions and makes him realize that while Hope may not be perfect, she just might be perfect for him…
Beginning:
With a few groans and sighs, the old building settled down for the night.
The Inn BoonsBoro is almost a character in its own rite in this trilogy (along with the resident ghost) so it makes sense that the first sentence is about it.

Friday 56:
"Hope." He trailed a fingertip down her arm before she could shift away. "Let me take you to lunch after the tour. It's been much too long."

Not long enough. "Jonathan, I'm working."
Hmm? I think I'm seeing the old boyfriend who betrayal caused Hope to come to town to work at the new Inn.
