Description
Return to picturesque 1980s Lake Arrowhead, California where another cozy cabin sheltered amongst the sweeping pine-lined vistas holds a long-buried secret, waiting to be divulged.
In this third installment of The Guest Book Trilogy, a young Annie Parker is struggling to overcome her grief over the recent loss of her sister, when a childhood friend unexpectedly turns up seeking refuge from an ill-fated marriage.
It would have been easy for Annie to sink deeper into sadness, but when she learns her newest design client, Hudson Fisher, is the son of the late film actress Celeste Williams, her curiosity is peaked.
As it turns out, the Roaring 20s starlet was no stranger to the Lake Arrowhead cabins—and this revelation sparks the unraveling of a scandalous story from Hollywood’s bygone era.
Did an illicit romance between this leading lady and her dashing costar take place in Cabin No. 7?
What really went on behind-the-scenes during the filming of that silent picture?
Will discovering a piece of the past bring closure to Annie’s present?
A heartwarming tale of friendships, forgiveness, and a touch of old Hollywood glamour,
The Starlet in Cabin Number Seven will have readers captivated from beginning to end.

I like this series. Annie is telling her life story but you also get caught up in the life of the person that stayed in the cabin. The town and it's inhabitants are another part of the story. For a small town there is a nice group of stories to be told. Ginny's is the gathering place and favorite dining spot. Several romances are included. I liked the book.

Annie Parker is intrigued learning that her newest design client, Hudson Fisher, is the son of the Roaring ‘20s Hollywood starlet, Celeste Williams. Thankfully, Sam has kept the old guest books and the entry that Annie locates leads to a family secret that surprises everyone. As Annie is never one to sit still, she’s delighted that Sarah, a friend since childhood, has finally accepted her invitation to visit.
The story is told from 3 POVs, Annie, Hudson, and Sarah. I enjoyed the multiple perspectives and the clarity of each narrative by chapter presentation and font format. As the secrets of the cabins have come to light, there are fascinating pieces of history tucked into the storyline. Favorites during Cabin Seven’s reveal are interesting highlights of stamps, the U.S. Forest Service, stories of dogwood trees, John Muir, and The Blackstone Hotel and Marshall Field and Company in Chicago. Socks and Jezebel’s feline pawprints were not as frequent among the pages of Book 3 but their companionship and cuddle time add sweetness when they appear.
I’ve loved the beautiful pen and ink drawings included in each book. In Book 3, drawings include, The Cabins, Hudson and Constance’s Living Room and Family Room, and Celeste’s Duesenberg. The “Author’s Note” is a combination of her inspiration, acknowledgements, news of upcoming novels, movies filmed at Lake Arrowhead, and a list of favorite places to visit in Lake Arrowhead.
Thank you to Chrysteen Braun and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an eARC of this book.
