<i>I recieved a free copy of the book through NetGalley in Exchange for an honest review</i>.

I basically say down with this for one whole afternoon and read it all in one comfy mouthful.

The author of this book has previously been writing Christmas shortstories and it showed in this book. It has the same kind of magical, warm fuzzy feeling to it and I enjoyed the reading experience immensely.

I found the main characters to be a bit flat at the beginning, the happy-go-lucky overly optimistic woman and the jaded and positively stuck up man from the big city. But they eventually gained more substance and as the story progressed much differently than I expected, I found myself liking them and thet chemisty more and more.

In this book there is a lot of food, and it all sounds ridiculously delicious. But the constantly recipies after almost every chapter was very disrupting and I would greatly have preferred them to be collected at the end of the book.

K. C. Grant has written a wonderful story about following your dreams, friendship, second chances and love and though the Peter Pan/Neverland magic references can get a bit much at times, it is worth a read. In fact I would take a page out of the characters’ book and pick this up on a rainy day and be reminded that love and friendship are the best kinds of magic.

Interesting premise. Sarah runs the Neverland Inn and feels a sense of purpose in making her guests have a good visit. Daniel is lost and facing a quarter-life crisis in the midst of his grandmother's death and his approaching wedding and family expectations. I enjoyed it for a simple read, but I felt like it lacked depth. The reader has to "fill in the blanks" and assume a lot aboit how the characters were dealing with death of loved ones, but it never really took that chance to dive in and flesh out the hard stuff. This was fluff. It was quick to read, and a sweet clean romance. But i just felt like something was missing in the characters to really make this story meaningful.
On the other hand, i LOVED the recipes included at the end of each section!
So while the story had me headed for a 2-star, the recipes definitely bumped this up to 3-star! I received an e-copy of this book for my honest review, though I'm seriously tempted to buy the book in hard copy simply to put with my recipe books! If you love good food, and sweet romance fluff, this is a winner!

Cute cover & title! New to me author, brings an original plot set around a very small B&B on the California coast. The set up is done well, and the development of the friendship between Daniel & Sarah is pretty typical. Polar opposites that discover they might actually have more in common than they first think. I would have liked to have seen a little more growth in Sarah's character. The story of Peter Pan is interwoven cleverly into the book, though it's not dominant. The ending was a little predictable, and wrapped up a little too quickly. This is a very sudden romance. However, I liked the contrast in characters and the conflicts that Daniel faced within his 'other' life. This is an easy read, with a fresh contemporary and fun story.

The inclusion of the recipes seem to reflect the authors love of cooking (as she describes in her author notes) and is a nice touch, should you feel the need to try out any of the meals described by Sarah in her kitchen prep.

Thanks to Netgalley & Covenant Communications for the eARC. This is my honest review.

Daniel is a lawyer and when he goes to sort out the estate of his late grandmother he stays at the Neverland Inn run by Sarah. Sarah is not very impressed by the grumpy lawyer but when he is forced to stay longer they start to get to know each other and form a friendship, but Daniel has to go back to his business and his fiance..... but is this the life that he really wants?

A sweet story that is predictable but still enjoyable

A sweet yet predictable romance. Sarah was inherently likable, while it took me some time to like Daniel. The setting of the inn was reminiscent of a warm fire on a cold winter night. I thought the recipes at the end of the chapters were a little distracting-I would have liked them all at the end of the book, but they sound absolutely delicious!

This was a cute, sweet, clean romance. It actually felt a lot like the plot of a Hallmark movie or something similar. I thought the characters were believable and well drawn and had chemistry. The romance happens really quickly but it usually does in such books. This was a lovely, pleasant read and the perfect way to pass a few hours.

Thanks for the early review copy!

I picked this up because of the cover. A cute romance that was a quick read. I recommend this book to fans of adult romance

A little short and some scenes were rushed to cram it into the size of the story. I think it was trying to be full length but didn’t quite get there. It felt like somewhere between a novella and a full length. Cute story, innocent and clean. I feel like Daniel needed more that a week at the Inn to really give the developing feelings with Sarah a real chance.

The title lives up to the name. It’s a beautiful, magical story of showing how strong love can be. I like to keep things short and sweet and let you discover the book on your own. It’s definitely a story with reading.

I received this ARC from Netgalley for a honest review.

Ah, Sarah and Daniel’s story was a sweet one! There was no question as to where this was going to go but more as to how and when. The setting and characters were great. I would love it if this was the start of a series. And those recipes that punctuated many of the chapters sound divine!

There was a bit of drama and some side plots that enhanced the story. The romance unfolded in a natural way. The ending was a happy one. I would recommend this story.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author, and Covenant Communications for a copy in exchange for a review.

The Neverland Inn was a sweet, innocent romance novel about a lonely lawyer and a B&B owner who find true love. While it was easy to predict the ending before the end of the first chapter, I loved the sense of community this story included. It is an enjoyable, feel good read that leaves you with a smile on your face.

Thank you net galley for the advance read copy of this novel. This was a sweet modern romance where an out of town lawyer falls for the owner of small town b&b owner. I appreciated this was a clean romance. The recipes included were a great bonus! Would recommend this author and novel.

A lonely and at times cold-hearted Daniel Cavanaugh lawyer in San Fransico looks for a break in light of his grandmothers passing finds himself in Neverland Inn. Owner of the BnB Sarah Michaels is expert chief and is interested in putting her Inn of the maps. Two people from entirely different worlds find each in the same atmosphere and magic begins in the Neverland Inn. A cute and quick read is the perfect read for the end of the summer that will leave your hearts sorrowing and possibly find yourself looking for your own Neverland Inn.

I whipped through this wonderfully written sweet story that had me cheering for Daniel and Sarah to find a way to be together. The delicious recipes throughout also helped to keep me smitten. Highly recommend!

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre:  Women's Fiction, Romance

Gah! Once more “women's fiction”, and as usual I have to have a quick moan – why do we do this – cut off potential readers? Who says men won't/don't read romance, they certainly write it, so why exclude them this way?

Anyway, on to the story. I really didn't like Daniel at first, he seemed so cold, so stuffy, so devoid of fun. In contrast Sarah is all about living each day to the fullest while having fun, enjoying life not just wading through it. She does her best to spread that air of happiness to her guests but she's an uphill task with Daniel.
Gradually he does let down his guard, remembers that life wasn't always work first, second and last priority, and becomes more....well, human I guess. Starts looking at people and life with different eyes. And finds himself discontented with what he's become.

Its a slow paced story, very cute and genteel, with a close knit village who pull together when something serious happens, ( and like any mob, they show how easy it is for a mood to turn). The Wendy/Neverland theme was fun. I found it an easy read, a sweet story, but for me it was lacking in Feeling, in Drama, in Depth, and I need all those in a novel. That's just me though, what I personally love in a story, and it isn't what everyone wants.
Though for me this was just an OK read it could be perfect for you. Horses for courses and all that....

Stars: Three, sweet easy read but a little too light for me.

ARC supplied by Netgalley and Publishers

I really enjoyed this book. I have never read a book that included recipes so that was a nice little surprise.

Sarah runs a B and B. Its' small (only one Bungalow) but it keeps her busy and she enjoys it. She had lost her parents at a young age and was taken care of by her aunt who left the house to Sarah.

Daniel comes from a family of attorneys and is on his way to join his father at the firm and marry soon. He comes to town to attend his grandma's funeral and finalize her estate. He gets a room at The Neverland Inn and plans on staying one night. One thing happens after another and he is "forced" to stay longer than expected.

The two start to fall for each other but Daniel is engaged so neither of them act on their feelings. When Daniel gets back he starts to miss the simple life but he also loves being an attorney.

I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for my honest review. I really enjoyed this book. I usually read suspense/thriller novels but this was a nice change of pace. I would highly recommend this book.

Thanks to Covenant Communications for the ARC!
What a sweet story! I was very moved by the characters. One of my favorite things about this book is the fact that it comes with recipes at the end of the chapters. That's a really great idea.

I found this novel to be pleasing in a very gentle manner. The story is set in an attractive location, the characters are appealing, and the story arc is well thought out. Daniel, the male protagonist, undergoes the most change., as he moves from his inauthentic life - attempting to please his parents by following their plan for his life - to an authentic one that beings him more in harmony with his personal values. Sarah,, the girl in the love story, seems to be waiting. Not for rescue but completion, Her life running the Neverland Inn brings her a great deal of joy. The author deals with several important issues - autism, Downs's Syndrome, traumatic brain injury, the impact on children of divorce, family loss. These are integral to the story and not just tacked-on. Other than Sarah's friends the secondary characters are one-dimensional. The recipes included at the end of most chapters are part of the story and I am looking forward to trying them. I liked the book and if you are seeking a sweet love story - clean language and nothing explicit - this one is for you.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a sweet and gentle story full of heart and delicious cooking. I liked that after each chapter was the recipe for the dishes that were mentioned and I plan to try a few! The pace was a bit slow and I was missing some depth and connection, but overall it was a pleasant read about two individuals that couldn't be more opposite, and the quaint inn off the beaten path that brings them together. Daniel is the one who did most of the changing, but it was a change he was ready for, one he didn't even know he was seeking. Once he allowed himself to turn off his father's voice in his head and tap into his softer side encouraged by his beloved grandmother, he became more likeable not only to the reader and Sarah, but to himself. The theme of finding "Neverland" by embracing sentiment and childlike joys gave the book a sweet and hopeful tone.
