Description
Owner of Regal Restorations, Julia Rossi learns of a Louisiana project worthy of her attention. The Bayou Queen hotel, once a splendid building, sits in ruins. Julia breaks in to see what The Queen has to offer and discovers parquet floors and magnificent plasterwork. She aches to restore The Queen to its former glory.

Admiring her spirit, beauty, and devotion to her art, he sets out to change her mind about him and the Queen. Julia is equally sure she can convince the handsome architect to save the hotel. A tug of war between their goals ensues. Along the way attraction develops. Who will win?

I received an arc of this book from the publishers via NetGalley.
Julia Rossi s passionate about restoration, when she discovers the ruins of The Bayou Queen hotel, she is determined to restore it to its former glory. Architect Remington 'Remy' Broussard purchased the site for demolition to make way for his development 'Black Diamonds.
Julia organises the local community to protest the development but Remy is not working alone and the Broussard family are not a group to mess with. Can these to enemies fight their blossoming attraction and the dangers that lurk behind every corner?
This was an interesting read. Julia is a strong independent woman and is determined to win. The story develops nicely, the romance is believable but the plot loses steam towards the middle. The end just feels like the author was trying to pad her word count. The story would have been complete if she ended it sooner. Despite this, I would recommend the book as there is a colourful cast of characters that make up for the deficiencies.

Putty in Her Hands is a very well written romance. I enjoyed the plot and characters. The author was new to me and I enjoyed her writing style.

I liked this story about the restoration of the old houses and the traditions that go with them. Old family ties and prejudices make this a fun read! I enjoyed the give and take between the characters.

This is the first book I have read by Lynn and it won't be the last. While it is completely different from anything else I have read lately it was a really fun read and I enjoyed it. Julia and Remington were great characters but for me, the extended families just made the book for me. This is a fantastic read to curl up with
