The Lilac River is an enchanting, heartfelt small-town romance with strong emotional pull and charming family chemistry. Yes, I fall for Bertie, she is adorable.

It’s a second-chance romance that balances tender moments with a revealing mystery, all wrapped in a beautiful and magical way for the other two books of the series, ready to take place.

I love the dynamic between Nash and his brothers. The sweet side of Lily’s and Nash’s relationship through their school years. The time from the past flies through their school years. 

The time from the past flies to meet them in the present and both have different life experiences but one thing never changed the love for each other.

A tender, loveable romance with enough emotional weight to satisfy fans of small-town romance and second-chance love stories.

Highly recommend if you love emotional if you love emotional slow-burns, strong family bonds and a hint of small-town mystery.
