About the book:
The Jonathon Island series is created by USA Today bestselling, award-winning author Susan May Warren.
She’s fighting to save her island’s legacy. He’s here to secure his family’s future. When their worlds collide, will they build something lasting—or tear each other apart?
Dani Sullivan is determined to revive Jonathon Island’s fading charm and reunite her fractured family. Her plan? Reopen the Grand Sullivan Hotel, a once-impressive landmark that’s been in disrepair for a decade. But without the funds to restore the hotel, Dani’s forced to accept help from Liam Stone—a big-city hotel developer whose sleek, modern vision is everything she’s trying to avoid.
Liam has never been one for small towns or rundown hotels, but this project isn’t just any job. His father’s health is declining, and if Liam can prove himself by turning the hotel around, he’ll finally earn the chance to take over the business so his dad can retire. But Jonathon Island is far from the high-end luxury projects he’s used to, and Dani’s fierce dedication to preserving its history clashes with everything Liam stands for.
As they battle over the future of the Grand, Liam starts to see Jonathon Island as more than just another project—it feels like the home he’s never had. But with his responsibilities pulling him back to Los Angeles, can he really stay? And can Dani trust him with her dream—and her heart?
A lot rides on the success of this project, but when emotions run high, will Dani and Liam find a way to work together—or will their differences tear them apart?
On Jonathon Island, love and loyalty are the ultimate balancing act.

My review:
This was a sweet story about finding a place to belong. Liam was a sweet guy who worried about his dad's health and wanted to relieve his stress and get him to retire. He was also tired of always being on the road and thought he had a plan and everything figured out. Then he met Dani and started getting attached to Jonathon Island and its people and began to question what he thought he wanted. Dani really wanted her family to come home after they had all scattered after their parents divorced and the hotel burned down. She thought if she could just get the hotel rebuilt the same, they would come back and things could be how they were before. They both had some growing to do, Liam with realizing he's not responsible for everything and Dani finally letting go of her unforgiveness and realizing she can't depend on other people or circumstances to be happy. She needs to depend on God alone. Her wise aunt gave her that great advice. There were other wise people in her life and Liam's, caring and advising them about their work and love lives. There were some sweet romantic moments but I didn't feel like I got to know Liam and Dani very well. They were mostly focused on what to do about the hotel and figuring out the design. We got to know them emotionally but not some of the little things that make up a personality. Dani had faith but I wasn't sure where Liam stood as he did attend church there and had as a child. Jonathon Island sounds like such a wonderful place, cozy and inviting and with a wonderful community. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in the series!
