The first story in a brand-new series, Lake Season invites readers to the Bluebell Inn in a small North Carolina town where a lost letter, a chance for new love, and old secrets beckon.
When their parents die in a tragic accident, Molly Bennett and her siblings pull together to fulfill their parents’ dream of turning their historic Bluebell, North Carolina, home back into an inn. Staying in town would be temporary—three years at most—then they plan to sell the inn, and Molly can get back to chasing her own dreams.
Adam Bradford (aka bestselling author Nathaniel Quinn) is a reclusive novelist with a bad case of writer’s block. Desperate for inspiration as his deadline approaches, he travels to the setting of his next book, a North Carolina lake town. There, he meets his muse, a young innkeeper who fancies herself in love with his alter ego.
Molly and Adam strike up an instant friendship. When Molly finds a long-lost letter in the walls of her inn, she and Adam embark on a mission to find the star-crossed lovers and bring them the closure they deserve. But Adam has secrets he isn’t ready to share. Past and present collide as truths surface, and Molly and Adam will have to decide if love is worth trusting.

Summary
Lake Season by Denise Hunter is one of those books I read in 24 hours. The story opens with three siblings dealing with the death of their parents from a tragic accident. They decide to continue the project their parents had been working on; a B&B – the Bluebell Inn.
Lake Season is Molly’s story. She has her own issues of dealing with her parents’ death. Molly becomes friends with a ‘researcher’ who is staying at their inn. She asks him to help her research the heartbreaking letter that she finds during the remodel.
The letter reveals the story of Izzie and Ben from 40+ years prior. They had a beautiful story that weaved its way into Molly and Adam’s story.
Adam was a reclusive author who is in town to research his next novel. The scenes with him and Molly are adorable. Even though you know the secret is going to come out eventually.
I thoroughly enjoyed both stories. I would highly recommend this book.
