About this ebook

An Inconvenient Attraction 

Before leaving for a coveted two-year musical residency, cellist Bree Anderson is taking one month for a relaxing lakefront vacation. But she's thrown off track by the instant attraction she feels for one of the resort's instructors. The last thing local Darren Zelinsky needs is a privileged summer resident like the fiancée who jilted him. Bree's no threat to his heart until he uncovers the vulnerable woman beneath the pristine exterior. And soon Bree is in danger of falling for the rugged outdoorsman. The clock on her stay is ticking and Bree's facing an impossible choicebetween a lifelong dream and a lifetime love.

    3.5 stars (rating shown may vary depending on whether site allows half star ratings). I'd put this at 3.5 stars but it's closer to a 3 than a 4 for me if I have to give a whole star rating.I can't remember if I've read Jenna Mindel before--I suspect I have. I am pretty sure I have not read Maple Springs sub series before though.I liked the idea of an edible wild plant class and to have the featured couple meet through that was something different. Bree Anderson, an accomplished cellist, is helping out her injured mom by being the liason to Dept. of Natural Resources (DNR) officer Darren Zelinsky, who is leading the group on their outings. Bree is in town to relax prior to starting a 2 year residency in Seattle where she would be studying music composition. Bree is coming off a 2 year relationship with Philip, who wasn't supportive of her wanting to do the residency in Seattle (and as we find out later, wanting control of her life). Darren is gun shy after his bride-to-be ran off with his best friend shortly before the wedding. However, Stella, grandmother of Darren's former flame, thinks the two of them suit each other. When you pick up a Love Inspired Book, you are pretty much assured that the featured couple will be together (in some form) by the end of the book. It's just a question of how they get there. In this case, the ending reminded me a bit of O. Henry's "Gift of the Magi" where each member is willing to sacrifice for the other--or at least in Darren's case that is so. I'm not sure Bree gives up quite as much as she seems to have changed her mind about what she wants out of her music career by the end of the book.
