Description

Unable to work in her flooded Boston studio, yoga instructor Violet Preston retreats to her family’s peaceful lakeside home. While the looming sale of her affordable apartment building might be threatening her Zen, her real battle comes in the form of one well-dressed, smooth-talking, Lamborghini-driving charmer.

More on Hart Land Lakeside Inn:

Come and stay in one of the quaint and cozy cottages at Hart Land—but be warned, once you meet the family and delightful cast of characters, you may never want to leave.

Fiona Hart is the devoted matriarch. Elegant, wise, and arts patron, but despite all her efforts, she has yet to find her own artistic outlet. Lucy isn’t just a housekeeper, she’s part of the family. She also fancies herself a real life Dolly Levy, except she’s much better at cooking up trouble than the perfect match. Innkeeper and retired general Harold Hart believes in hard work, discipline, and whatever his beloved wife wants. Katie O’Leary runs the One Stop, makes the best Irish soda bread this side of the Blarney Stone, and no one is quite sure if it’s more than her baking that has the magic touch. Did we mention the Harts have nine granddaughters?

Having grown up spending summers together on the lake, the cousins are as close as sisters—closer. Each woman knows there’s no place like Hart Land. They can always count on their grandfather’s gruff, their grandmother’s sage advise, Lucy’s fresh baked cookies, Katie’s inspiration, the calming scent of fresh air—and each other
As a Special Bonus VIOLET includes a treat from Lily's Recipe Box!

    The third book in a series about The Hart family whose home base is a lakeside resort in a quaint New England town. Violet escapes to the lake because her life in Boston has turned upside down. She needs to find a new yoga studio for her classes and a new place to live. The task seems impossible. A new guest at the resort is occupying her time while she tries to search. A little mystery and a lot of romance seem to right her world. Love the characters and can’t wait for the next book!

  • Great read

    Violet by Chris Keniston is the third book in a brand new series Hart Land. The series is based on the small town of Lawford (in NH) with the General (Harold Hart) and his wife, Fiona. They have nine single granddaughters who one by one will find their own love. Lucy the housekeeper is bound and determined to be matching them all up, but she is an accident waiting to happen. The General and Fiona run a small hospitality business with cabins, with their house full of people and laughter. Violet teaches yoga and her own studio (rented) in Boston, but one thing after another has led her not being able to use her studio , maybe ever again. She has come up to spend time with her family, while the situation is being resolved, hopefully. Meanwhile, Grant has decided to approach the General about selling his land, after a tip from his grandfather. Grant builds high quality resorts for the rich and is always looking for the next best places to start. He goes to Hart Land as a customer and begins to enjoy the land, the family and especially Violet. Violet by Chris Keniston is a sweet love story about family and staying connected to what is important. The small town feel is universal, as is the cast of local characters. Violet is a quick read for someone who is looking for a little sweet love story.
