Love on the Lake by Helena Hunting

 Synopsis:

Teagan Firestone has always been the dutiful daughter, especially since her mom died. But as her father finally begins to move on, it’s her turn to do the same. Her destination: Pearl Lake, a close-knit community with an entrepreneurial spirit and secrets of its own.

One of them is Aaron Saunders, who dropped out of college to work construction for Pearl Lake’s upper class. He’s a mystery and has a playboy reputation—that is, until he meets Teagan. Neither of them is looking for love, but in a town this small, it’s hard not to let your heart get involved. 

As their romance heats up, Aaron’s elusive past comes to light and Teagan is there for him, bringing them even closer together. But when Teagan is forced to face her own demons, her inability to accept the support of friends and family threatens the life she’s worked so hard to build. 

Can Aaron love her, even when she can’t love herself?

Review:

Love on the Lake by Helena Hunting was such a cute, and heartwarming read. It is a small town romance, that has plenty of steamy moments, but also shows the ups and downs of a relationship to make it even more realistic and relatable to the reader.

Teagan and Aaron are two characters who consistently learn to embrace change and differences, as well as learning to be themselves, and understanding self discovery.

While the novel does dive into some heavy moments, and topics of discussion, romance readers are still treated to a fabulous relationship between the two characters. In fact, readers will probably be able to relate parts of the novel to their own personal life, making them devour the novel in a matter of hours.

I certainly recommend this novel to everyone. I adore Helena Hunting, and this novel was certainly no exception. 

4.5/5 Stars
