Nick Woodward is willing to do his old college roommate a favor – especially since it involves renovating his own inheritance. The last thing he wants is to get involved with anyone.

So far, so good.
Ah, the difference a trip to a dingy basement makes.

My Review 💚
What a cute story! From the beginning I fell in love with both Lisa and Nick! Their chemistry is immediate and utterly charming. The relationship doesn't feel forced but flows naturally, and I appreciated that. In looking at what really got my attention had to be the part with the tornado. Tornados, for me, are an extreme fear and fascination at the same time, so any depiction of a storm has my rapt attention, and this instance was no exception.
The whole "reno" part is great (who doesn't love a good renovation story!) and I loved the touch of mystery and intrigue that is tied to the history that surrounds the project. I have been heavy into historical fiction and mysteries lately and this was a perfect balance to the budding romance, fulfilled my craving for excitement.
I do have to admit that several of the major themes in Heart Restoration are popular subjects right now, since I've just finished two books with similar themes, but the sweetness of the characters, and the mysteries of Nick's house, set this novel apart, and completely captured my heart. I really enjoyed reading this charming story!
My Rating: ★★★★
