Five-Star-Chef Zoe Griffin walked away from her dream job. Did she make a mistake?Her engagement off, Zoe Griffin retreats to tiny Wildflower Island in the Puget Sound. Hiding out as a cook and maid at a shabby bed-and-breakfast seems crazy for a chef who’s used to running her own five-star kitchen. And just as she starts to feel at home, her klutzy mishaps make Zoe fear her handsome new boss … new boss will fire her.
Dr. Nick Jackson is done with medicine, and owning a B&B is as far from doctoring as he can get. He needs help, but his only employee’s mistakes give him doubts. As Zoe lets her defenses down, Nick begins to see a competent and caring woman. One whose wounds are as deep as his own. But as they fall for each other, Nick and Zoe must learn the hardest lesson of all—to forgive. Only then can they heal the past and embrace the future . . . together.

Loved it. Engaging characters, relaxing read.
It’s always fun to read about island life. Easy to read, clean, Christian book
I enjoyed reading this book, and will miss the characters!
Amazing what happens when people leave the hurts and disappointments from the past behind. Forgiving and forgetting leaves room for hope and new relationships.
I felt like I couldn’t put it down. Easy read.
Fun read. Predictable, but what book isn’t? Still, worth reading for light entertainment. Will look for more.
This was a nice hallmark type feel good novel. Really enjoyed it!!!
It was a pretty good story, but the character development felt rushed, especially the emotional realizations at the end.
Pretty lame characters. Exaggerated emotions that don’t fit circumstances.
Great read. I love how both characters worked through their insecurities and found happiness
Good romantic plot. Beautiful, interesting setting and entertaining characters.
Really enjoyed reading the Island Refuge series, loved how the books flowed from each series. I really would love to find this island and move there. Great read.
Nice summer read
I loved it!
Enjoyed it alot
I loved this book.
Kept you wondering.
This was my first shot at reading a a fictional Christian romance, and it was exactly as I would imagine a it would be, it’s super sweet and a little cheesy and pretty unrealistic, but that’s what fiction is for! I loved reading it though, and I loved reading about the message to keep Christ the center of any relationship (that part is realistic)
This was an easy read but enjoyable. I loved the characters and the plot. Would recommend
Enjoyable with substance
