Coming Home to Maple Tree Lodge
A family and hotel in desperate need of help…
Maple Tree Lodge has been the home of the Jackson family for over a century. But the hotel has never been a success and, following the sudden loss of his father, architect Ben Jackson soon discovers the hotel is close to financial ruin. Ben has to make some tough decisions if the hotel is to survive and his family are to keep a roof over their heads.
With the hotel in urgent need of a renovation, Ben’s sister calls on the talents of her best friend, interior designer Lily Watson. Cash strapped Lily needs a successful project to prove to herself and her high-achieving parents that she can carve a successful career and Maple Tree Lodge sounds like just the place for Lily to showcase her talents. However, Lily’s vision for a cosy, country Cotswolds hotel is the complete opposite to what Ben has in mind for a minimalistic, modern makeover and fireworks ensue!
Can they work together to save Maple Tree Lodge?
Can Lily help Ben and his family find a future together?
And can Ben show Lily that there's more to life than work?
As autumn at Maple Tree Lodge begins to weave its magic spell, perhaps Lily will discover somewhere to finally call home and a reason to stay ...

My Review:
Coming Home to Maple Tree Lodge is the first book in the Inn on the Lake series. Lily Watson is still trying to claw her way to the top of the interior designer hierarchy. After all her hard work for her current employer she finds herself unceremoniously fired, and all credit for her work taken by her former boss. Lily's bestie, Hannah, recruits her to help renovate their family's inn and Lily can't wait to prove herself. When the professional's vision is vastly different from the owner's, the renovation takes a sharp turn into chaos.
This story was cute, low key, low drama, and easy going. Yes, there is conflict between Lily and Ben on how the design and remodel of the inn should be handled. The overall story is a cozy romance that engages the reader. The characters are pleasant, well-developed, and fun. Lily and Ben have great chemistry as interior designer and client, but it develops into so much more than that. I loved watching their relationship change and evolve through the story. This is my first experience with Alison Sherlock and I will continue to grab her work.
