Back of the
Book
As temporary
guardian of her sister's two children, big-city magazine columnist Jenna
Gardner is forced to face her past. She isn't in Mirror Lake for long before
she realizes that everything has changed. And it's not her past throwing her off-kilter
now—it's handsome next-door neighbor, Dev McGuire. Though Dev gets under her
skin, he quickly proves himself an excellent father figure for the children.
Soon he's encouraging Jenna to believe in second chances. But it'll take a leap
of faith to believe that her future just might be in Mirror Lake after all.
My Review:
Firstly
thanks to Harliquin and Netgalley for my review copy.
This is my
first book by Kathryn but it won’t be my last. I found out this is the third
book set in Mirror Lake Wisconsin but if you haven’t read the other two books
you won’t be confused. This book is a stand-alone read but I am sure the others
would add to it. In this book we see Jenna arriving at the place her sister and
children had been living. Now to set this up Jenna is a city girl who is use to
the best of city living and where she is now is a small town and the home
leaves a lot to be desired. Next door is Dev who is very much a recluse and
seems to be a thorn in her flesh. He also seems to be there when they need him.
I enjoyed the story and it read well. Sometimes I will read a book that seems
to take ages and then books like this one I seem to be flying through them. I
read this in a day which even for me is fast. I love the people and the caring
shown here. Jenna has a lot of past hurts that she is dealing with and letting
people in is not easy. We see her discovering things about herself. What I
really like is the way the book plays out so we see the insecurities and why
they are happening. Trust is a major issue this book tackles. Well worth the
read.
