Buy book: $10.60

When Emma Collins uses her divorce settlement to purchase a bed-and-breakfast in the Ozarks, her sister Katy thinks small-town life will be perfect for her and her six-year-old son. But when the sisters arrive and find that B-and-B means Bait-and-BBQ, they have no choice but to roll up their sleeves and get to work.

What a great story line. I cannot wait to read tomorrow's excerpt.....

I have always wanted to own a B&B not Bait and BBQ so I can't wait to read the rest of this book. Sounds like a great story and not knowing anything about bait I am hoping to learn something.

The abent-minded sister reminds my a lot like of a friend of mine. I wish I could throw more caution to the wind- but putting your savings into a E-bay bought business is a little too risque for me.

I agree about buying real estate on the internet - not something I could do either but it makes for a timely story in the "buy anything" on the internet age.

Put this one on hold at my library as soon as I read the short blurb posted over the weekend - who could resist this story line? - if you want to read what sounds like a delightful if somewhat confusing beginning - am sure things will work out in the end - and sometimes like to read a book knowing that going in -

Just now got from my library the Jan Burke mystery "Kidnapped" from week or so ago - that's another genre - but makes for a varied collection of reads -

Thanks, Suzanne, for serving us a buffet of different dishes every week -

That is something my sister would do! Hilarious! I think if we arrived at a B&B that we purchased and it turned out to be a Bait and BBQ, we would get out of the car and stare at each other for a few seconds and then break out it laughter. Too funny. I cannot wait to see how the sisters react.

It will be interesting to see how these very different sisters handle the shock of finding their quaint B&B is actually a run down Bait and BBQ. NPR had a story yesterday about a couple who own a B&B in Saratoga Springs, NY. They both have to have full time jobs in order to support themselves. They have owned it for 8 years and are now seeing a small profit. Definitely a labor of love to own a B&B.

I am checking out this book from the library, looking foward to reading it at the pool!
