More on Hart Land Lakeside Inn:
Come and stay in one of the quaint and cozy cottages at Hart Land—but be warned, once you meet the family and delightful cast of characters, you may never want to leave.
Fiona Hart is the devoted matriarch. Elegant, wise, and arts patron, but despite all her efforts, she has yet to find her own artistic outlet. Lucy isn’t just a housekeeper, she’s part of the family. She also fancies herself a real life Dolly Levy, except she’s much better at cooking up trouble than the perfect match. Innkeeper and retired general Harold Hart believes in hard work, discipline, and whatever his beloved wife wants. Katie O’Leary runs the One Stop, makes the best Irish soda bread this side of the Blarney Stone, and no one is quite sure if it’s more than her baking that has the magic touch. Did we mention the Harts have nine granddaughters?
Having grown up spending summers together on the lake, the cousins are as close as sisters—closer. Each woman knows there’s no place like Hart Land. They can always count on their grandfather’s gruff, their grandmother’s sage advise, Lucy’s fresh baked cookies, Katie’s inspiration, the calming scent of fresh air—and each other.
Follow along with friends, family, neighbors, and guests as the Harts maneuver life’s curves, and just maybe find love along the way.

I’ve become a fan of romance novels with strong moral characters.
Could not hold my attention
Interesting read. I loved the fact that the couple took the time to get to know each other.
When do you know it’s more than attraction? Heather is home at her grandparents beautiful lakeside estate after having a bad week as a heart surgeon. Jake, a former Marine has become the town’s resident handyman. When the two run into each other at Hart Land, they find every way possible to spend time together. We all need a feel good read once in a while. Chris Keniston gives you just that in the Hart Land series about the General’s granddaughters.
Lovely story – Lovely ending – wonderful family. What more could you ask for?
Wonderful!
A fast so so read. Predictable.
Heather comes home to spend a few days away from her hectic time as a surgeon in Boston. The lake house brings back memories of a childhood that she did not have much fun. Leave it to Jake, to provide the fun and romance.
Could not get past the first 5 chapters
This was reminiscent of “The MacGregor Brides ” This is a book to read if you are looking for simple entertainment…boy meets girl; boy gets girl but the reader never gets much of an idea about either the boy or the girl.
I liked it so much I read the rest of the series.
Fun quick relaxing read! Heather & Jake, both very caring people, will keep you reading through to the end.
A little boring
Wonderful story!
I enjoyed this book.
Well written and very enjoyable.
This book is a must read. It offers hope in a busy world. And sometimes you realize that family is everything, and you should embrace it to find true happiness.
I really enjoyed the characters and their flaws and feelings.
I love Chris Keniston’s book. This series just gets better. Looking forward to the next book
Interesting and entertaining without being x-rated.
