Rachel Skatvold: Room for Love Release Fun

It's release week for Room for Love by Marguerite Gray! I hope you've all been enjoying the Suamalie Islands Series as much as I have.

All you have to do is go to each blog listed below, read the post and more about the new book. Then enter in the fun giveaway! Mine is below!

My Vacation Story...

This week we are talking about fun vacation experiences. In the book... Amy runs a bed and breakfast on Alexandre Island. She pours herself into making the experience memorable for her guests through her delicious recipes and comfortable, inviting accommodations. Do you have a positive (or funny) B & B or Airbnb (a cabin in the woods or a condo on the beach) experience to share? What made it special?”

As a young teen we took a family trip to Canada where we stayed in a little cabin by the lake. It was my first trip out of the United States, so it was interesting to experience something new. For example, the milk came in bags instead of cartons, and they had coins for a one and two dollar bill.

We stayed for a week and fished every day. We fished so much that even at night in bed I still felt like I was in the boat! One time I woke up in the middle of the night and was trying to cast an imaginary pole off the side of the bed. Ha ha!

We had fish fries almost every night and it was a great vacation. Some memorable moments included spending time with my family, playing games, and reading lots of books. With no TV in the cabin, it made us spend more quality time together without so much distraction. Someday I'd love to go back to the little cabin by the lake.

What about you? Do you have any fun vacation stories? Tell me yours in the comments.

More About the Book...

God gave her peace then; maybe He’ll do it again.

When Amy Lee’s son heads off to college, the bed and breakfast owner finds life even lonelier and emptier than she had after losing her husband. She needs something to occupy her mind and heart while she reinvents her life again. What more could she ask for than an after-school program for local children and a renewed interest in painting?

Then the arrival of a professor of archeology shakes her world and makes her yearn for the way things were only a few short months ago.

Still grieving the loss of his beloved wife, and ignoring the warnings and protests of his grown children, Professor Walker Standish escapes on a six-month sabbatical. His heart, barely beating these past months, jerks to life again when he finds more than a room at a B & B.

Where an ocean meets the shore, love has room for one more.

Take a trip to the Suamalie Islands where palm trees sway, the sand and sea pulse with life, and the people will steal your heart.
