Synopsis from Goodreads:

LONG, LAZY DAYS ... HOT SUMMER NIGHTS

With her daughter grown and flown, Nina Romano is ready to embark on a new adventure. She's waited a long time for dating, travel and chasing dreams. But just as she's beginning to enjoy being on her own, she finds herself falling for Greg Bellamy, owner of the charming Inn at Willow Lake and a single father with two kids of his own.

Greg lost his first marriage to a demanding career. Now he's determined to make a new start before it's too late. Juggling work, raising his young son and helping his nearly grown daughter face life's ultimate challenge, he has no time to fall in love. Still, with Nina Romano, love feels just right this time around.

My Review:

This was another brilliant instalment in the Lakeshore Chronicles. The author draws you back into this quaint lakeside town and immerses you in the lives of the characters with her well-polished writing and breathtaking descriptions. I love how Wiggs isn’t afraid to bring topics such as teenage pregnancy to the forefront of her story. The characters are also individuals that you can’t help but fall in love with, at least by the end. There were one or two who annoyed me at times until they were able to overcome the hurdles in their paths. But as a whole this was a novel about entire families & how they come together. I quite enjoyed it and can’t wait to read more in this series.
