Heartbreak Hotel

Book #6: Heartbreak Hotel (Author: Jill Marie Landis)

A supportive wife and mother, Tracy Potter always played by the rules and maintained a perfect home. But after her husband's sudden death, she learns the devastating truth: all she believed in--from their wealth to their marriage vows--was a perfect lie. Forced to start over, Tracy puts everything into resurrecting the Heartbreak Hotel, a long-abandoned turn-of-the-century inn overlooking the Pacific Ocean. She's determined to never again believe in anyone but herself--until the night mysterious loner Wade MacAllister checks in. Intrigued by the secret disillusionment in his eyes--one that mirrors her own--Tracy finds that a growing desire challenges her at every turn.

The Heartbreak Hotel is a perfect place for Wade to hide not only from his notoriety as an author but from the shocking events in his past. Drawn to Tracy and her struggle to succeed, he is quickly compelled to risk the anonymity on which his survival depends. By the time Tracy discovers the handsome stranger's true identity, there's more than ever at stake. She is forced to risk another broken heart and learn to trust again, and she must also fight to make Wade believe in their love.

My Thoughts: As I said I would, I tracked down the 2 books that I thought to be part of a series with Lover's Lane. Now, I am thinking they are not a series, but rather stories about character's from the initial book that I read (but, isn't that considered a series?). I don't actually think it matters what order you read the books in (apparently I am reading them all out of order) but I think the correct order would be: Lover's Lane, Heat Wave, & Heartbreak Hotel. Anyways, this was another excellent book by Jill Marie Landis and I highly recommend it. I love getting lost in her stories, feeling like I'm part of an intense love story. What can I say, it's nice to pretend every once in awhile! :-) Just kidding James....we're definitely in an intense love story! ;-)
