Review: "Beyond the Tides" by Liz Johnson

I was so excited when I heard that Liz Johnson would be returning to Prince Edward Island with her new series, and Beyond the Tides captures the same magic that her Prince Edward Island Dreams series did!

Review: "A Dazzle of Diamonds" by Liz Johnson

The final book in Liz Johnson's Georgia Coast Romance series is a delight!

Review: "Royally Yours" by Melissa Tagg, Betsy St. Amant, Liz Johnson, and Ashley Clark

Christmas novellas from some of my favorite authors? Yes, please! The instant I heard about Royally Yours, I knew I needed to get my hands on the collection. And guess what? It's really, really good!

Review: "A Glitter of Gold" by Liz Johnson

Over the past few years, Liz Johnson has quietly become one of my favorite romance writers. I say "quietly" because her name is not one that quickly jumps to mind when thinking of my favorite writers, but every time I pick up one of her books, I. Love. It.

Review: "Christmas at the Red Door Inn" by Liz Johnson

I absolutely loved Liz Johnson's Red Door Inn series, so when I heard she was releasing a Christmas novella set at the inn, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it! Fortunately for me, it's available in Kindle Unlimited, so I snapped up a copy ASAP.

Review: "A Sparkle of Silver" by Liz Johnson

Over the last couple of years, I've had the privilege of reading Liz Johnson's Prince Edward Island Dreams series. (Seriously, so good.) So when I heard about her new novel, A Sparkle of Silver, I had to get my hands on it!

"On Love's Gentle Shore" by Liz Johnson

The best kind of reads are the ones you can't bear to put down, the ones you find yourself thinking about when you're not reading them. That's exactly what I experienced while reading On Love's Gentle Shore.

"Where Two Hearts Meet" by Liz Johnson

Last spring, I read Liz Johnson's The Red Door Inn, set on Prince Edward Island. It was a very sweet, romantic novel, and I knew then that I'd want to continue Johnson's series. What I didn't anticipate was just how much I'd enjoy the sequel.

"the red door inn" by liz johnson

A romance set on Prince Edward Island, home of Anne of Green Gables and one of the places I most want to visit? Of course I couldn't pass up the opportunity to read it!

Marie Carrington is broke, desperate, and hoping to find sanctuary on Prince Edward Island while decorating a renovated bed-and-breakfast. Seth Sloane moved three thousand miles to help restore his uncle's Victorian B and B—and to forget about the fiancée who broke his heart. He wasn't expecting to have to babysit a woman with a taste for expensive antiques and a bewildering habit of jumping every time he brushes past her. 

The only thing Marie and Seth agree on is that getting the Red Door Inn ready to open in just two months will take everything they've got—and they have to find a way to work together. In the process, they may find something infinitely sweeter than they ever imagined on this island of dreams.

I'll be honest. When this book first showed up on my radar, I wanted to read it, but I was also a tad hesitant. Six years ago, I read a suspense novel by Liz Johnson, and it was okay, but I didn't love it. But the draw of PEI was enough for me to give The Red Door Inn a shot. I shouldn't have worried about it—in six years, Johnson has grown greatly as a writer.

The Red Door Inn does start rather slowly, and I didn't really get into it at first. But as I got to know Marie, Seth, Seth's uncle Jack, and antique store owner Aretha, I became swept into their world. The town and the inn are described so vividly that I felt like I could see them, and the final third of the book is so strong that I just didn't want it to end! I'm eagerly anticipating book two, which will focus on Marie's friend Caden. (There's a preview at the end of The Red Door Inn, and I desperately wanted it to continue!)

The Red Door Inn isn't a fast-paced or suspense-filled novel, and it's probably not one that you'll fly through in a matter of hours because you just can't put it down. But it is a sweet, gentle romance that you'll find yourself thinking about in between reading times. 4 stars.

Buy the book.
