Blurb:
Twenty-two-year-old Sophie Levesque has been guardian to eight-year-old
sister Mia since their mother's death a few years ago. Luck comes their
way when they inherit a small house in Hobart. Problem is though, they
don't know or have never heard of Clara Bellinger, the testator, and
Sophie is afraid it's all been a mistake.
As Mia settles well into her new school and life in general, Sophie is not only occupied by her search of what connected her to Clara, but also her new studies and the two men, who suddenly have become part of her daily life - Mark O'Connor, the lawyer representing Clara's estate, and Zach, the hunk from across the road.

Today's hook :-)
As she pondered on that for a moment, she began to think about what life could be like with this inheritance. Different. Better. Another sigh escaped as she returned her gaze to the man behind the desk. “You can’t just leave your assets to just anybody, can you?”
“Miss Lever—”
“Levesque,” she helped him.
Their eyes met. “
Are you refusing the bequest?” he asked hesitantly, and she clearly noticed how one of his eyebrows arched upward.
Staring blankly with her mouth open, she could feel the panic running through her veins with every thump of her erratic heartbeat. An uncomfortable silence fell over them for a moment. Then she quickly said, “No. No, of course not. We’re accepting.” She turned to look at her younger sister. “We’re actually looking forward to seeing it.”
And with one swift movement, he stood and went to a little cupboard near the window and retrieved a bunch of keys. “Would you like me to take you there?”

An interesting introduction to these two sisters. Their relationship is
gorgeous, and they care for each other fiercely. Set in Southern Tasmania,
what a wonderful place to start a whole new life and find out just how your
life got to be the way it was and begin to heal. I enjoyed the story and
the setting very much.
4 Stars:
This was a very enjoyable read and it left me wanting just a little bit
more. I highly recommend it.
4 Stars:
Sophie and Mark are an irresistible match from the beginning. While getting
closer and connected to them individually as the story progressed, I
couldn't help but want them to be together. This author has a way of
endearing her characters and it is easy to fall in love with them. An
intriguing story with emotion, love and hope. A very enjoyable read! I
received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
I love stories of family and especially sisters! Sounds like a great book. On my pile now.
