Contemp Review: The Perfect Hope: Book Three of the Inn BoonsBoro Trilogy (The Inn Trilogy) [Paperback]

I've finished reading "The Perfect Hope" the 3rd book in her Inn BoonsBoro trilogy by Nora Roberts.

A new novel of starting over and star-crossed love.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts introduces you to the Montgomery brothers — Beckett, Ryder, and Owen — as they bring an intimate bed-and-breakfast to life in their hometown.

Ryder is the hardest Montgomery brother to figure out — with a tough-as-nails outside and possibly nothing too soft underneath. He’s surly and unsociable, but when he straps on a tool belt, no woman can resist his sexy swagger. Except apparently Hope Beaumont, the innkeeper of his own Inn BoonsBoro.

As the former manager of a D.C. hotel, Hope is used to excitement and glamour, but that doesn’t mean she can’t appreciate the joys of small-town living. She’s where she wants to be — except for in her love life. Her only interaction with the opposite sex has been sparring with the infuriating Ryder, who always seems to get under her skin. Still, no one can deny the electricity that crackles between them a spark that ignited with a New Year’s Eve kiss.

While the Inn is running smoothly, thanks to Hope’s experience and unerring instincts, her big-city past is about to make an unwelcome — and embarrassing — appearance. Seeing Hope vulnerable stirs up Ryder’s emotions and makes him realize that while Hope may not be perfect, she just might be perfect for him.

My Review:

Ryder Montgomery is a hardworking and serious construction worker who is annoyed by the prim and proper innkeepr Hope Beaumont.  He thinks she is gorgeous with her killer stilettos which makes her legs seem like miles long.

Hope Beaumont is the innkeeper of BoonsBoro Inn and she is recovering from a humiliating relationship which makes her flee from DC to the quaint small town and the inn.  She thinks Ryder is handsome and she isn't above watching him without his shirt on at the construction site across the street.

We also conclude the story of Lizzy an ancestor of Hope and her beau Billy (who we find out is a relative of Ryders).
