From Booklist

*Starred Review* After Boston designer Olivia Frost befriends and graciously mentors Marilyn Bryson, teaching her the ropes and introducing her to important customers, Marilyn pulls an All about Eve move and steals Olivia’s clients. Devastated by the betrayal, Olivia returns to her small hometown of Knights Bridge and decides to open a bed-and-breakfast. Although Olivia’s place is neat and clean, the cottage next door is in disrepair, and the overgrown yard is filled with trash and discarded appliances. Dylan didn’t know his treasure-hunter father left him anything until, out of the blue, some woman writes to him, telling him to clean up his property. Little does he realize that the trash-covered path will lead to the love of his life. Neggers’ lush descriptions of a New England winter turning to spring serve as a lovely metaphor for Olivia and Dylan’s growing romance. This heartwarming tale is full of fascinating secondary characters and enhanced by plot threads involving the long-term effects of a flooded valley, a search for stolen jewels, and long-ago passion. --Shelley Mosley

Review

"Bestseller Neggers (The Whisper) spins a tale of stolen jewels, long-lost love, and other secrets in this engaging contemporary romance. Olivia Frost has returned to Knights Bridge, Mass., to turn a historic home into a getaway destination. A neighboring house is in disarray, so Olivia writes to the owner, Dylan McCaffrey, asking him to clean it up. Dylan has no idea his late father left him the property until he gets Olivia's note. Curious, he travels to Knights Bridge, where he and Olivia hit it off. Soon they are digging into the past, trying to find out why Dylan's father bought the house and what secrets its previous owner might have had. Lovely descriptions of the countryside add plenty of New England charm, but the romance between Olivia and Dylan is overshadowed by the more interesting flashbacks, secrets, and experiences of a secondary character." -Publishers Weekly

Stabbed in the back by an ambitious, underhanded colleague she'd befriended, award-winning graphic designer Olivia Frost takes a break from Boston and heads home to rural Knights Bridge to freelance and realize her dream of turning her recently purchased historic house into an upscale getaway destination. But the rundown property next door is a problem, and when Olivia's letter to the absentee owner brings sexy hockey star-turned-businessman Dylan McCaffrey to town instead of the elderly man she expects, her life, as well as Dylan's, takes a decidedly unpredictable turn. VERDICT A wealth of appealing, totally relatable characters (including well-matched protagonists), long-hidden secrets, and a lost treasure provide some delightful, heartfelt surprises in this cleverly plotted, well-researched, and beautifully described tale that rewards readers with an intriguing mystery as well as a deliciously satisfying romance. -Library Journal

"Neggers captures readers' attention with her usual flair and brilliance and gives us a romance, a mystery and a lesson in history. She also presents breathtaking views of a real New England past and present, characters who stay with us long after we close the book and more than the one romance. Her story will engage readers all the way through." -RT Book Reviews, Top Pick, (4.5 stars)

Olivia Frost was a successful graphic designer working for a top design firm in Boston...until she was professionally betrayed by her best friend. Olivia decides to move back to her hometown of Knights Bridge and turn the period home she recently purchased into a destination travel location. Dylan McCafferty comes into the picture when she contacts him in San Diego, asking him to clean up his adjacent property, which has been vacant since purchase for over two years. He had no idea he owned the property.

Just about everyone in this story suffers from an inability to open up to anyone, including themselves, about their true feelings. From Olivia, to her sister, Jess, her parents...the list goes on. Olivia suffers a devastating betrayal by her supposed friend Marilyn, which makes her leave her job and pursue a different career. However, you never get a sense that Olivia is really hurt and she never expresses her feelings about it to anyone until the near the end of the story. Because no one in this story was ever opening up about their feelings, it was impossible to connect to anyone.

Layered into the story was a mystery as to why and how Dylan's house came to be purchased by his deceased father. While it was interesting, it became the central focus, eclipsing the relationship between Dylan and Olivia. There were so few romantic interludes between the two, I often forgot that they were supposed to be finding an emotional connection. Their physical relationship doesn't occur until nearly the end of the book. You would think that after that kind of buildup, much time would be devoted to their finally connecting...it was barely a page.

This is an interesting story but not a romantic one.
