Grace Canady is no airhead. She runs the Canady Lodge and enjoys the company of the guests. The only downfall is they only stay in the summer months and not the winter. As the sole proprietor of the Lodge, Grace has no one. It is her responsibility to keep the Lodge running. Martin Winters is a city man with cosmopolitan tastes who just happens to be a summer guest. As a field reporter, he has seen much action, especially during the cruel winter of 1917 on the Western Front. It has left him with many buried memories that often trouble him enough for him to desire a change of scenery. Canady Lodge offers the diversion he needs with some extra perks, one of which is spending time with the lovely Grace. Grace reads Martin’s columns and enjoys playing a game of poker with him. The time they spend together brings them closer as friends but Martin feels it could become difficult being just friends. Friendship is all that Grace can offer. Martin believes she should stop resisting his obvious charm. After they share in a kiss, it is Grace who thinks it might present a problem being just friends. When it comes time for Martin to checkout, it leaves a sour note in her stomach.

I always find it a joy to come across a read with a touch of sweet, revolving romance. Amazing Grace delivers an uplifting read for any age. This story breathes life in all its characters. Ms. Rush creates a mega read where this reader was pulled into the Lodge and enjoyed it all the way to replacing the piping along with Grace. The time period, lovely scenery and ambience, are just a few things this reader could share with the realistic characters. Some persuasive moments mixed with beautiful romance in tune with the others feelings make this a lovely story.
