Sweet Tomorrows

Library Journal 08/01/2016 Mark Taylor made Jo Marie Rose promise to move on if he did not come back from his personal mission of righting a past wrong, and she is making that happen. She meets Greg and begins a relationship that quickly deepens. Thinking she can finally move forward, Jo Marie is shocked to learn that Mark is still alive and has been admitted to the hospital in critical condition. Determined to be by his side every minute, she leaves the inn in the capable hands of her summer boarder Emily Gaffney. Emily is starting over in a new town with no reminders of the love she left behind. Jogging one morning she meets Elvis, a beautiful German shepherd that belongs to Nick Schwartz. With his own demons to tame, Nick is the last person Emily should be interested in. The healing spirit of the Rose Harbor Inn begins to take hold, bringing Emily and Nick as well as Jo Marie and Mark's stories full circle. VERDICT Fans will enjoy this final installment of the "Rose Harbor" series (after Silver Linings) as they see Jo Marie's story finally come to an end.
