This is the first in a new series “Whisper Lake “ and this is a great start. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to more in the series. There were a lot of people and each had their own character and back story. I’m sure in the upcoming books we will get to know them better. This story is about Gianna and Zach. They met again after many years and at some point it feels like they were just like they were in their teenage years. Some of the same feelings but being older are they the right feelings. Both have issues from the past which they have to work through to really enjoy each other. I look forward to additional books.
Teen couple that had a relationship at summer camp, return to hometown. With many experiences to overcome, they fell in love.
Compelling second chance romance. The writing was a bit much for me in places and I ended up skipping a few middle chapters.
I actually enjoyed this book; however, I am not interested in investing in an entire series.
Couldn’t put it down
Thought this was a bit hilarious! The characters were pretty awesome.
Enjoyed this book. Love all of Barbara Freethy’s books.
I loved the book. Just didn’t like the ending
A bit predictable, but what bothered me most is the writing style, where conversation feels very robotic & monotonal.
Barbara Freethy writes great books. I love the Whisper Lake stories and characters.
The author did a wonderful job of weaving the fabric of life among the characters. I couldn’t put it down.
Extremely Delightful!
One of the best! Barbara Freethy writes books you get completely lost in! With charismatic characters that are brimming with personality you are sure to become ADDICTED. I found myself completely lost in the story and loving every single second of it.
Always With Me warmed my heart. Barbara Freethy writes stories you never want to leave. Being one of my most treasured authors, I am never disappointed.
A feel good book!
Another great author!
Zach and Gianna

Read the whole series. Enjoyed each book.
