THE NEXT ALWAYS by Nora Roberts

This was a fantastic, romantic story that I enjoyed very much.  The story revolves around three brothers who are restoring an old inn in Boonboro.  They are all described as hunks with values.  Beckett, one of the brothers, is featured in this story as he becomes involved with a girl, Clare, he fantasized over through high school. She however married her high school sweetheart who was later killed in war.  She has returned home to Boonsboro to raise her three boys with the help of family and friends.  Clare owns the local bookstore and  is being stalked by a psychotic man who also was a high school classmate.  The only part of the story that seemed off to me was the part of the friendly ghost that inhabits the old inn.  I encourage my Book Club friends to read this book now even though we won't be discussing it until June.  The second book in this series  (The Last Boyfriend) will be coming out in May and you will want to be ready to read it the minute it is on the bookshelves!
