About this ebook
Anna has studiously avoided her Aunt Rose—the woman she once loved more than anyone else in the world—ever since the night Rose betrayed Anna and her mother, Rose's own fatally ill sister. In the sixteen years that have passed, Anna has built another life for herself far from her hometown on Maryland's eastern shore, but she can't forgive or forget.
Now another betrayal, by a faithless lover, has brought Anna back to her family's restaurant, where Rose needs her estranged niece's help—and trust—more than ever before. Determined to leave as soon as the struggling business is back on its feet and her own hurt is healed, Anna joins Rose in the kitchen of the Bella Sorella, resolved to remain unaffected by Rose's longing to undo the past. But Anna's resistance could blind her to a true and unexpected love that's reaching out to grab her by the heart.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Anna is bitter towards her Aunt Rose after she discovered her aunt in bed with her father 16 years earlier. But she's forced to set it aside when she returns to work in the family restaurant business. Can she let her bitterness go & find happiness with her family and a man who shares her fears?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I'm giving this one 5 stars for the writing, which is flawless, but 3 stars for enjoyment, so it evens out to 4 stars. I'm reminded again why I don't read women's fiction. I was so freaking depressed through the whole book. The heroine comes back to her hometown after breaking up with her boyfriend, who she caught in bed with her boss, and agrees to help her aunt by taking over the management of the family restaurant. She's never forgiven her aunt for having an affair with her father, so there's that issue. And the aunt's boyfriend has a degenerative disease which provides another issue. And the aunt's boyfriend's stepson is the mysterious bird photographer who provides the love interest. The people were all very real, but the heroine's attitude toward her aunt irritated the heck out of me, even though I believed it. My main problem, though, was that the book made me feel like I was a horrible person. In fact, every time I'd put down the book to go do something else, a little voice in my head said "you're a horrible person." Gah. Who needs that?
