Reviews: The Path by Tawdra Kandle & All for Family by Olivia Hardin

Abby Donavan came to the small beach community of Crystal Cove to start over. After a painful affair broke her heart and derailed her burgeoning career, taking over management for the just-opened bed-and-breakfast was the safe choice. In this sleepy town, Abby figured she could bury her memories and forget the pain.

When the chance to have her own hotel falls into her lap, though, she can’t resist the temptation. Making the old Riverside Inn into the showplace she’s always dreamed of running offers the second chance she never expected.

Abby didn’t expect another kind of second chance to land on her doorstep at the same time. Ryland Kent wants to help her bring the Riverside back to life, and his passion for restoration is irresistible. But as much as she wants to ignore it, she can’t help seeing another spark in his eyes . . . one that offers to reignite her own flame.

Sometimes the path to a happily-ever-after is anything but smooth.

Tawdra did it again, another series I adore from her, in the third book of the Crystal Cove we learn more about Abby,, she quits at the B&B leaving it in good hands. She will run the Old Riverside Inn, she needs however first renovate it, she meets Ryland when she checks it out before the renovation starts. Abby has the feeling someone is watching her, but when Ryland appears she blames that feeling on him. They start on a total wrong foot. 
We will meet a few people of the other books too again! Jude and Logan. Joseph, Cooper & Emmy etc.
Emmy can't lose the feeling there is someone or something around her when she is in the Inn. If she & Ryland get together or  stay "friends" will Emmy find out one day who is still attached to the Inn? you have to read for yourself, 

I adore Tawdra Kandle and her books, this one is so good, I love the characters, story is strong, has a fun twist and entertaining. I really love Crystal Cove and the people in it, I have the feeling I know them and see the town before me.
I highly recommend this book, but while you are at it read the whole series it is so worth it and you get to know the gang, what you are waiting for, the first book is free at this moment! You won't regret it.

Family is everything for Jeremy Rawley. Most important is the one he and Meg created together. But their beginning was tangled in memories he wishes his wife could forget for good. A call from her past brings them back to a place he thought they’d never have to be again.

Forgiveness may be the key, but the first step is finding the locked heart that needs it.
