The Innkeeper of Ivy Hill Blog Tour...Julie Klassen

Available on Amazon and other book stores
Hello, dear readers, and welcome to my stop on the blog tour for Julie Klassen's new novel, The Innkeeper of Ivy Hill. I was thrilled to be invited to take part in Ms. Klassen's tour and today I will be spotlighting her new book, the first in a series of books. Although it is not JAFF, it is set during Regency times. The cover is gorgeous and if the story is like Julie's other works, I'm sure the book is fantastic too. Please enjoy the spotlight, and be sure to watch the video later in the post. You will get to meet Julie Klassen as she tells you, in her own words and at location, a bit about the book, her first ever series and Ivy Hill. There is a great giveaway too. :)

Book Description

The lifeblood of the village of Ivy Hill is its coaching inn, The Bell. When the innkeeper dies suddenly, his genteel wife, Jane Bell, becomes the reluctant landlady. Jane has no idea how to manage a business, but with the town's livelihood at stake and a large loan due, she must quickly find a way to save the inn.

Despite their strained relationship, Jane turns to her resentful mother-in-law, Thora, for help. Formerly mistress of The Bell, Thora is struggling to overcome her losses and find purpose for the future. As she works with Jane, two men from her past vie for her attention, but Thora has promised herself never to marry again. Will one of them convince her to embrace a second chance at love?

As pressure mounts from the bank, Jane employs new methods, and puzzles over the intentions of several men who seem to have a vested interest in the place, including a mysterious newcomer with secret plans of his own. With the help of friends old and new, can Jane restore life to the inn, and to her empty heart as well?
