The Guest Cottage by Lori Foster was one of those reads that you just know has to end correctly. The main characters are people you would want to be friends with. I found myself cheering for them as they worked through situations. The book is listed as the first novel in a series called A Firefly Summer.
The book introduces us to Marlow at her husband’s graveside service. From the outset it is clear that the husband had the audacity to die, before Marlow’s divorce came through. However on the positive side, it left her with more funds and a clear break. Her in-laws saw this as an opportunity for Marlow to mourn her husband while continuing to work for their company and grieve with them about the unfortunate death of their beloved son.”
Marlow, determined to live a different style of life, moved to a small town in Kentucky on a beautiful lake where she rented a house. The peace and serenity was just what she wanted for her life. Her new landlord Cort was worming his way into her life when the “other woman” showed up and her in-laws would not let her go.

Marlow was a strong character who I really enjoyed. She was thoughtful and clear in expressing herself and showed a strong moral compass (unlike some other characters). Cort was a great character for her to form a relationship. I especially liked how he let her make her decisions without prodding or prompting her on what to do.
I enjoyed reading the Guest Cottage by Lori Foster and would recommend the novel to others. PS I get dibs on the guest cottage next!
The book will be published on the 27th of May.
