Stella Locke is starting over. After an ugly divorce, she picks up her Southern roots and transplants to upstate New York where the air is crisp and no one knows her name. She’s an enthusiastic reader and just so happens to pick the quaint little spot where her favorite author lives. The small town of Grace welcomes Stella with open arms, a new job, and a smoking hot neighbor.
Lane Holder is a … Holder is a bit mysterious with his midnight jogs and brazen flirting. He’s got an adorable corgi named Chap who immediately steals Stella’s heart. In time, Stella is blown away by Lane’s charm, maturity, and undeniable interest in her. Being out of the dating game for 20 years has filled her with self-doubt and the hurt endured from her marriage has made her want to keep that part of her past hidden. Still, Lane convinces her to take a chance on him.
Their relationship is a slow, steamy burn that seems to be building toward something special and permanent. But as with any relationship built on secrets, one wrong move and it all could come crashing down.

I loved this rom-com about Stella. She’s left her cheating ex-husband and relocated miles away to start over in the town of Grace. Her new friend and real estate agent, Marley, is quirky and a great contrast to the reserved Stella. Hunky neighbor, Lane, is younger than Stella, but definitely interested. Can Stella overcome her fears and Change Lanes?
j’ai beaucoup aimé le contexte et les personnages même si l’intrigue en elle-même est assez simple et que j’avais réussi à deviner certaines petites choses. J’ai aimé les choix de Stella, sa rencontre avec Lane et avec ses nouvelles amies, sa manière de s’intégrer petit à petit dans cette communauté et leur accueil vraiment chaleureux. Impossible de le lâcher avant d’en comprendre les tenants et les aboutissants et on les quitte avec un grand sourire et le sentiment que ça n’est que le début d’une grande histoire pour eux !
I really enjoyed the story of Stella and Lane. This is a light hearted story of starting over in a new town and meeting you very cute neighbor. She chose to move the town called Grace because her favorite romance author lives there. But soon she finds out her favorite author likes to remain mysterious. This has You guessing throughout the story – who is the author? Is it the bookstore owner? Lane- her neighbor and possible love interest? Or Lanes Granny who still lives in town.
Stella also meets Marley who we all need a friend like her. There’s never a dull moment when she’s around and her friends are just as hilarious. Their antics bring a lot of humor to the story.
Stella finds her new little town welcoming and also hanging out with Lane is a bonus too. Let’s not forget Lanes sweet Corgi named Chap.
This a great book from Season on how Stella got her groove back! Great characters and a fun, romantic story with a little angst. Great read- 5 Stars!
Changing Lanes is a fun rom com about moving on and finding yourself again
Stella’s story was a lot of fun. Some hilarious mishaps had me laughing out loud, and the hottie next door, Lane had me all aswoon.
Stella’s new friends are flipping the best. I want a Marley in my life. For a full on as she is, her heart is huge. Dirty, but huge!
I am really looking forward to more stories in the Welcome To Grace series.
CHANGING LANES is just what I needed: small town rom-com with all the good feels. This book had some of my favorite things sarcastic characters, witty banter, and a strong friend group (aka found family). Vining has given me that with her rom-com debut. I really enjoyed my time in small town Grace.
Loved every part of this hilarious rom com!!! From the very first “flash” to the perfect epilogue, this book put an everlasting grin on my face! Just perfection season!!!! I can’t wait to read more from the series!
Season Vining’s first romcom, and she slayed it!
Changing Lanes, is funny, sweet and hot.
Stella is such an inspiration, and a relatable character, and Lane is just absolutely swoon worthy.
I’m thrilled Changing Lanes is going to be a series, theses characters are absolutely amazing and I wasn’t read to say goodbye.
I enjoyed this story so much I’ve read it twice.
Changing Lanes by Season Vining is a delightful romance novel. I have to admit this is not my favorite genre, but if more romance books were like this one I would convert. The story is equal parts sweet and steamy. In addition to following Stella’s sexual re-awakening, we also watch her find a new tribe of friends and community. Her journey of self-discovery and self-reliance was wonderful to follow. I’m so happy to see that is the first in a series; I not ready to say good-bye to Stella, Marley, Kennedy, Reagan, and (of course) Lane just yet.
Changing Lanes (Welcome to Grace Series Book 1)
Absolutely loved this book!! From the witty, slapstick, sarcastic humor, to the heartache and sadness, this book brings to life so many emotions. It brings you into a life, friendship, and relationship as if it were real life. Can’t wait for the next book!!
I loved this book so hard! It is laugh out loud funny! When your reading and you don’t even realize it had you laughing until your husband asks what was so funny.
Season Vining hit it out of the ball park with this one! The characters are so bright and funny. Its like you see them come alive in front of your eyes.
Stella had a bad deal in her marriage. Deciding to start over, in a new town away from all she knows she makes a different kind of impression on the neighbor. So wonder what Lane the neighbor thought? Get your copy to see!
4.5 Stars!!!
If you want a sweet book with a hunky man that is dang near perfect and an adorable dog, then this is the book for you. After her divorce, Stella moves to a new town in a new state and finds the love every woman dreams about.
Her unique friend Marley makes up a very colorful portion of this book and I can’t help but hope she gets a book later in the series. Along with Reagan and Kennedy.
Lane is the loyal, old soul of man muscle that gave off Clark Kent/Superman vibes all the way down to my lady bits.
Loved this book!! Looking forward to more!!!!
This was a fun quirky story. I love the town and people of Grace. Stella ended up with the best besties. Marley is a hoot! The attraction between Stella and her next door neighbor Lane, is a slow burn with all the feels . Lane seems perfect, but he is hiding a secret that will undermine his relationship with Stella. Good thing he has a cute corgi wingman. I look forward to reading more Grace character stories.
Starting over when you don’t know who you are anymore is scary. But Stella rocks it with some comedic mishaps along the way while Lane provides all the swoon. This book is a departure from Season’s norm but in such a good way!
*I was given an ARC of this title in exchange for my honest review.
“…it’s really not me.”
“Then what is you?”
I shake my head and slide my lips sideways on my face. “I’m not sure yet. That’s what I’m trying to find out. That’s weird, right? To be 38 years old and unsure of who you are?”
Kennedy sets her broom aside and approaches me. “I think everyone has their own unique journey for a reason. This is yours.
Fun, easy rom-com with lots of laughs, and surprisingly steamy (wasn’t anticipating that). Changing Lanes is filled with fun characters, like the leads Stella, Lane and adorable Corgi Chap. However, I did find the story to be a bit one-note and the “conflict” contrived to create conflict, and would have appreciated more character development. But with that said, I’d still enjoy more stories with from the quirky characters that make up the small town of Grace since it was an entertaining read.
3.5 stars
