I've been reading a lot of books in this genre lately, so I thought I knew what I was getting into when I started this book. Fortunately, I was underestimating this book. It goes back and forth between related (and unrelated) characters in the present, the early 90s, and the late 70s, and everything is tied up nicely in the end. Every plot line is completed satisfactorily with room left open to continue in many different directions. I'm curious to see if other books in the series will feature a similar writing style or tone, the resulting atmosphere in this case being a unique fit for the story. A very good book!

I enjoyed this book. Although the story centered around a main character or two, enough supporting characters are introduced to entice the reader into exploring their stories as well. This is the first in a series and the only one I currently own, but I'd like to read more by this writer.

So this was a pleasant but ultimately forgettable read- enough so that I had to read a couple of other reviews to remember the plot. It takes place at a former summer camp, which made for a good vacation/beach read. Pleasant and quick romance with a not-greatly-disguised mystery 'twist'.

I only read this book because it was free for Kindle and I needed a break from Anna Karenina. Short
+ free = why not? Everything about it was obvious.

"Olivia Bellamy has traded her trendy Manhattan life for a summer renovating her family's crumbling holiday resort. Tempted by the hazy, nostalgic memories of summers past - childhood innocence and the romance and rivalries of her teens - it's the perfect place to flee after her broken engagement. But what began as an escape may just be a new beginning...As Olivia uncovers secrets buried thick with dust, one by one her family return, their lives as frayed at the edges as the resort." (From Amazon)
I enjoyed this contemporary romance set in a small town. Not just a romance it is about a town, resort and the people living there.

A nice ending, a decent read. Characters weren't well developed , nor could I connect/relate to them.

The Lakeshore Chronicles is a series in good company with Robyn Carr's virgin river and Susan Mallory fools gold. I would love to be invited to a long weekend by the lake with this cast of characters. I listened to the audiobooks each morning doing my makeup and so good I kept listening on way to work

I really did enjoy this so don't let my rating discourage you from that fact. However the flashbacks hindered my enjoyment because I felt like I didn't really grow to know Olivia or Connor, I just skimmed the surface into delving into who these characters really are as people. I think this plus the fact that this truly felt like the first book in a series where Wiggs is trying to stuff a lot of background for the series as a whole, as well as Olivia & Connor's story, kept me from giving this book a higher rating.
