Product Description:
Sawyer Drake has never known what she wants. She has spent most of her life bouncing from job to job in an effort to avoid taking her place running her family's restaurant. Nothing has ever kept her attention for very long. Nothing, that is, until she meets shy pastry chef, Jori Diamantina. Jori, on the other hand, has no intention of risking the job she loves, especially when Sawyer doesn't seem to know exactly what she wants from Jori.
A Place to Rest is a touching romance about the beauty of finally discovering where you belong.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Sweet story
I really enjoyed this book. It is a sweet story of a woman trying to find a place in her family and in the world.

Rating: - Intense
Good read, I read half of the book in two days and I'm a very busy person. I enjoyed it.

Rating:  - Terrible book!!!! Don't waste your time
Sorry to disagree with the other reviewers, but I didn't like this book at all. It just went on and on with no apparent reason and then stopped. Don't waste your time.
Rating:  - A pleasant read in which family dynamics are central
This book was decent. The author is still often imprecise with her language, and shows a somewhat bothersome tendency to tell us things versus showing us things. By that I mean that we will often get a paragraph of exposition that tells us something about a characters, versus putting said character in a situation in which those personality traits are revealed through action and reaction. This was more of an issue in the beginning of the book, and definitely got better as the story moved along, but it's something ... Read More
