The historic hotel in BoonsBoro, Maryland, has endured war and peace, changing hands, even rumored hauntings. Now it's getting a major facelift from the Montgomery brothers and their eccentric mother. As the architect of the family, Beckett's social life consists mostly of talking shop over pizza and beer. But there's another project he's got his eye on: the girl he's been waiting to kiss since he was fifteen...Can I just say that I love the front cover of this book? There's something very warm and romantic about the old stone building, the colours of the wood and the flowers. If this is the front of the actual B&B I think I might need to take a road trip. And talk about great free advertising for it! If any fan of Nora's didn't know she owns a B&B in her hometown, they will now! Seeing as how this book is about a mother and two sons, I wonder how many of Nora's fans will be asking her how much of her life made it into this book?
I am looking forward to reading this book, I love a romance in a small hometown where people fall in love with someone they have known all their life, but never considered. But, enough with the trade size! I knew this would happen when Roberts' Bride Quartet came out in Trade. I hate that size! For one thing it is more expensive, and another thing, it is not comfortable to hold while reading. I want the mass market book back for the trilogies! I will definitely be borrowing this book from the library instead of buying it, even though Roberts is usually an autobuy for me.

"The Next Always" hooked me from the beginning, even if I felt like the characters were reincarnations of previous books. I loved the descriptions of the town, the businesses and, of course, the inn enough to let the fact that Beckett, Ryder and Owen were essentially Philip, Ethan and Cameron from her 'Chesapeake Bay' series slide -- then I learned this book centers around the actual inn Roberts and her family owns in Maryland. Clare's book store and the new gallery are also owned by Roberts and family in the real town. Essentially, she took a renovation project and made a book out of it.
