Description

In this charming installment of the Heart Lake series, a grumpy single dad and a small-town bookseller—who's secretly an advice columnist—find love when they least expect it.

As chaotic as it can be, Rosie Dean loves her unruly life. But between raising twins alone, running her struggling bookshop, and secretly writing a parenting advice column, the single mom can’t think about dating. At least that’s what she tells herself . . . until her high school crush (and his incredible blue eyes) return to Heart Lake for the summer. Even though Evan has grown into a huge grump, he’s still a super sexy one, and soon sparks begin to fly.

Single dad and widower Evan Mills is used to hearing he’s too serious. But with a grieving tween daughter to raise on his own, the graphic designer is just trying to stay strong for her. He hopes a few weeks at the lake will be the fresh start they both need. Evan never anticipated reconnecting with Rosie, or that she could make him feel whole again—if he’d give her the chance. Will one steamy summer with Rosie be long enough to melt Evan’s heart?

Includes the bonus novella, Annie Rains’ Kiss Me in Sweetwater Springs!

  • Sweet single parent romance

    4
    By Susanmcqusie
    A very sweet romance between two single parents. Rosie Dean is a mom to twins. The twin’s father is a rocker who hasn’t had much to do with them, and hasn’t paid child support. Rosie has had to deal with everything that life hands her on her own. Evan Mills is a widower who has a daughter about the same age as Rosie’s twins. His wife died about four years ago when his daughter was four. Like Rosie, he has been focusing on raising his daughter, and really hasn’t dealt with moving on with his life. Both Evan and Rosie went to high school together, and had a bit of a crush on each other, but never acted on it. Now they have a second chance. Overall, an enjoyable read. I will say, that the issue that eventually causes a rift, seemed out of character for Rosie, and that did annoy me a bit. This is the second book in this series and can definitely be read as a standalone (I didn’t read the first book and I had no problem reading this). I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley for my honest review.
