5 stars I got an ARC of this book from Netgalley. It’s really just a novella, part of a bigger series called Siren’s Retreat. I love Erica Ridley so I was happy to receive this. This is the story of Deborah, the proprietress of Siren’s Retreat, and Patrick, man of business for Lord Edgewood. Lord Edgewood has determined that he will buy the land upon which Siren’s Retreat sits and sends Patrick to facilitate the transaction. Despite being on opposite sides, he and Deborah fall in love. If Patrick doesn’t finalize the deal, he will lose his job, but if he does, he will leave Deborah homeless and heartbroken. The challenge is to figure out a way to keep Deborah’s brother-in-law Stanely from selling the property, and for Patrick to keep his job. Stanley has received a very generous offer for the property and it would be foolish for him to turn it down. He tells Deborah that her rent will be doubled if she wishes to keep it, so she works to figure out how to make that happen. Patrick helps her because he can't help himself. He wants her to win even if that means he will lose. It’s a sweet, romantic story with lovable characters. I recommend it and would love to read more in the series. July 9, 2022
