Official Book Summary:

Linnie Wayfair knows just how many people are counting on her. But knowing doesn’t make doing any easier.

Everyone in Sweet Lake, Ohio, wants her to muster all her business sense and return the Wayfair Inn to its former glory. Her parents hope she’ll forgive her scoundrel of a brother and reconcile the family. The eccentric Sweet Lake Sirens want her to open the inn—and her heart—to new possibilities. And her hilarious lifelong friends Jada and Cat are dropping none-too-subtle hints for her to ignite a romance with Daniel Kettering, the sexy attorney who’s been pining for her for years…

Now a shocking turn of events will open old wounds and upend the world Linnie has carefully built. She has to make changes quickly—and the results, though not entirely what she expected, might be what she’s been yearning for all along.

Crystal's Review:

Do you like a little drama? Some suspense? Romance? Happy Endings? If like myself, you like nothing more than a Hallmark Movie Special, then Sweet Lake is the book for you. Grab yourself a cup of your favorite beverage, cuddle up in a comfortable chair, and be prepared to enjoy this well written, perfectly paced novel. I seriously could not put it down until I had devoured each and every page.

The characters were well-developed and believable. They reminded me of some of the peculiar characters in my own life. I would love to hop in my vehicle and take a little drive to Sweet Lake. It feels so real (like Stars Hallow and the Gilmore Girls).

Even the cover of the book drew me in. When I showed it to friends, they immediately asked if we would be doing it for our book club because just the title and the cover got them excited. Some books are just fabulous from cover to cover, and this book is one of those. An absolute 5 star read!
