Book Review: She Once Was Lost But Now Is Found
Summary: 5 Stars
This reader has read and enjoyed everything written by Erin Dutton. Sometimes an author comes out of the proverbial gate with winner, but subsequent offerings are of lesser quality. Such is not the case with this talented author.
Sawyer Drake is the eldest child of a restaurant family. However, much to her parents' chagrin, she has no interest in participating in the business. Her younger brother is the head chef and her younger sister, who is unmarried and pregnant, is the manager. Sawyer's parents have retired from the business, but her mother convinces Sawyer to help as her sister's pregnancy progresses.
Coming on board with skeptical siblings is only part of Sawyer's problem. She also is immediately attracted to their new, extremely talented pastry chef Jori. Jori has career aspirations and doesn't want to lose her position under any circumstances - especially not by having an affair with Sawyer. However, Sawyer's charming personality is hard to resist.
Taking on Jori's resistance as a challenge, Sawyer is determined to sway the other woman into at least a physical relationship. She almost gives up, but something pulls her back into the game. It is this inner struggle for both Jori and Sawyer that keeps the reader engaged. I couldn't wait to get to the next page. When I finished the story, it was like saying goodbye to a close friend.
Bottom line - Great book. A part of my permanent collection. Buy it, read it.
Summary of A Place to Rest
Sawyer Drake has never known what she wants. She has spent most of her life bouncing from job to job in an effort to avoid taking her place running her family's restaurant. Nothing has ever kept her attention for very long. Nothing, that is, until she meets shy pastry chef, Jori Diamantina. Jori, on the other hand, has no intention of risking the job she loves, especially when Sawyer doesn't seem to know exactly what she wants from Jori.A Place to Rest is a touching romance about the beauty of finally discovering where you belong.
