What a fabulous start to the new series,
Whisper Lake!
It’s a heartwarming, moving, & sexy
second chance romance. With a captivating mystery, that keeps you reading, wondering what happens next.
Gianna & Zach, met when they
were sixteen, at camp. They experienced
their first kiss, first love & first broken heart. Fourteen years later, Gianna,
is back in Whisper Lake. While at the camp, thinking about the past, she accidentally falls into the lake. But the last thing Gianna, expected, was to be saved by someone she thought she’d never see again.
I loved everything about this Must
Read Story!!!
This is a great read, and the start of what promises to be a great new series! I loved Gianna and Zach. They had a brief teenage romance at summer camp, but parted on painful terms. Fast forward 14 years and they meet up again. Past hurts are revisited and resolved and a friendship evolves. Gianna is not looking for a relationship – she’s trying to figure out why she makes such poor decisions in her relationships with men. Zach is in town to reestablish his relationship with his formal girlfriend’s daughter. But neither can deny the chemistry that they feel, or the feeling of rightness each experiences when they are together. Add a bit of mystery, a couple of familiar characters (there’s a Callaway in town!), searches into the past, friendships, family, and you’ve got a great story. It’s riveting and consuming – I loved it and anxiously look forward to the next book in the series!
Loved it another great read and a new series although some Callaways do show up in it. Can’t wait for next one. A must read!
Wonderful second chance romance. Zach and Gianna were in love as teens but broke each other’s heart’s. Many years later fate brings them back to the same place. An interesting and intricate story with a bit of mystery and drama. Starts off a new series and I can’t wait to continue. Whisper Lake seems perfect.
