INN AT LAST CHANCE by Hope Ramsay is book seven in her Last Chance series. Jenny Carpenter is trying to get the home she just purchased ready to become a Bed and Breakfast. She is only a few months away from the opening when Gabriel Raintree shows up. He is a famous horror author and a local celebrity. She isn't ready to rent out rooms but Gabe has nowhere else to go and she reluctantly lets him stay. His family is the one who sold the house to Jenny. It was where he grew up.

Once Gabe moves in to his room, which is really Jenny's room, strange things start to happen. A cooked chicken that Jenny is carving mysteriously flies across the table and lands in the reverend's lap. A china closet suddenly tips over. A story that Gabe is working on is deleted from his laptop and no one can figure it what is going on and who is doing it. When Gabe was young he had an older brother, Luke, who was killed in an accidental shooting. Everyone has always believed that it was Zeph, the town carpenter, who shot Luke, but Zeph is hiding the truth. Gabe was there but doesn't remember what happened. No one will tell Gabe what happened that day and he knows he has to be told the truth in order to move on.

As strange incidents keep happening at the inn, Gabe and Jenny both believe they are being visited by Luke's ghost. For some reason his spirit seems to be in limbo and can't move on. All the while, memories are starting to return to Gabe and he isn't sure which ones are true and which ones are just his over active imagination. Someone has to tell him what happened when Luke was shot? Why won't Zeph tell him what happened??

I love this series. Every time I read one of the Last Chance books, it's like coming back to my old family and friends. I love how The characters don't just disappear once the book has ended. Hope keeps bringing them back, even if only for one chapter in each and every book. INN AT LAST CHANCE is a very entertaining read. This is without a doubt, a love story, the story of Jenny and Gabriel. Hope Ramsay does a great job at writing romance. I have read this entire series, which is a light romantic series. Each novel can stand alone but it is better to have read the earlier stories. Give it a try, you wont be sorry. I'm sure in no time, you will be caught up in the characters lives and flipping the pages madly until you finish.

Book Summary

Jenny Carpenter is the unrivaled pie-baking champion of Last Chance, South Carolina's annual Watermelon Festival and the town's unofficial spinster. With her dream of marriage and children on hold, she focuses on another dream, turning the local haunted house into a charming bed-and-breakfast. But her plans go off course when the home's former owner shows up on her doorstep on a dark and stormy night . . .

Mega-bestselling horror writer Gabriel Raintree is as mysterious and tortured as his heroes. His family's long-deserted mansion is just the inspiration he needs to finish his latest twisted tale, or so he thinks until he learns it's been sold. The new innkeeper proves to be as determined as she is kind, and soon Gabriel finds himself a paying guest in his own home. As Jenny and Gabe bring new passion to the old house, can she convince him to leave the ghosts of his past behind-and make Last Chance their first choice for a future together?
