Book Description
What do you get when you have a beautiful B & B owner, an incognito movie star, his entourage and a leather wearing, hairless pooch all staying at the Wild Rose Bed and Breakfast?
Jamie Crawford needs time to unwind after his last movie. His sudden bump from B-list to A-list actor keeps him too busy to take time for himself. When an opportunity arises for him to sneak into a small Texas town and for some much-needed R & R, he snaps it up. The last thing he expects is to meet the beautiful owner and fall almost instantly head-over-heels.
Lorenna Beauchamp runs her inn and has time for little else. And that’s the way she likes it—until her stunningly handsome new guest piques an interest she thought long dormant. She breaks all her rules to get close to him. Imagine her surprise when she learns that not only has Jamie been hiding his identity, but he is one of the most sought after celebs.
Jamie has to persuade Lorenna his feelings are true while he convinces himself that loving someone isn’t detrimental to his career. Can Lorenna get past the lies and her mistrust of all things Hollywood to give Jamie a chance?

"Love, lies and yes the possibility of finding your great love is in this beautiful book by Denise B. McDonald. The Inn Crowd is one you’ve got to read for it’s not your typical romance from her, but great for it has it all from suspense, passion and to the comedy from her mother planning her fifth wedding to a dog that is into black leather to its colorful owner. I loved it all and can’t wait for more by Denise B. McDonald." - Reviewed by: Lena C.
Two Lips Reviews gives THE INN CROWD 4 ½ lips
"The Inn Crowd is a beautiful love story. Denise Belinda McDonald has created a couple deeply in love who must learn to trust each other and who are both willing to sacrifice for the other’s happiness. The love scenes are poignant and well written, but it is the emotional issues that really make The Inn Crowd a truly wonderful story. I really enjoyed this beautiful story from Denise Belinda McDonald and highly recommend reading The Inn Crowd." - Reviewed by: Tara Renee
Coffee Time Review gives THE INN CROWD 4 cups
"Jamie and Lorenna’s bumpy love story is definitely worthwhile, filled with misunderstandings, sacrifice, humor and danger. The wild Texas weather is as unpredictable as this enjoyable story and a metaphor for Jamie and Lorenna's story." - Maura, Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance
Romance Studio gives THE INN CROWD 5 Hearts
"The love scenes are intense and frequent but are not too explicit; they develop along with the love the couple found with each other. Throughout the story they face conflict, but I do not believe anyone will expect the finale! I can guarantee you will enjoy this book and I encourage you to take the time to read it. It is an extraordinary work. Kudos to Ms. McDonald." - Reviewer: Brenda Talley
