Sometimes You Stay: A Red Door Inn Romance

I enjoyed reading Sometimes You Stay, set on the beautiful Prince Edward Island in Canada. Cretia is a nomadic digital content creator and influencer who grew up in Arizona. She’s financially comfortable and fiercely independent as she travels the globe year round, sharing her travel adventures with her three million plus followers, and living out of her suitcase and backpack. When an accident sends her flying off the boardwalk in North Rustico on the PEI north shore and into the harbor, her anticipated two day stay on the island is extended by circumstances that are outside her control.

Finn feels terrible about his role in Cretia’s accidental dip in the harbor. He’s determined to make amends and help Cretia. He breeds Newfoundland puppies and trains them for search and rescue work, and he has a menagerie of adorable animals who live in his barn.

Finn has zero interest in new technology and international travel. He lives on the family farm that was established by his great grandfather and runs the family dog breeding business that was built up by his father and grandfather.

Cretia is welcomed by Marie at the charming Red Door Inn and she spends her time helping Finn with his animals. Cretia is challenged to think about why her dysfunctional childhood has driven her to travel and not put down roots.

A delightful romance unfolds as Finn and Cretia are drawn together and consider if they could become more than friends. Finn falls hard for Cretia, despite knowing she will…

This contemporary romance novel has a interesting plot line. Seems to be human nature to believe lies and live accordingly, even when they make no logical sense. I was please with the ending that actually had issues dealt with, like the father son talk etc. The mention of John 3:16 to bring up "love is sacrifice" made Jesus sacrifice seem trite since there was no prayer of confession or acknowledgement of His ultimate sacrifice by Cretia, she just moved straight into romantic love. A little bit of a re-write there and this could be soo much better. The heart to heart with the inn keeper really spoke to me as well. Some great fiction and some things to think about in reality.
