A Table for Two
by Sheryl Lister
What an entertaining book this is! I loved the slow-burn romance, fun and supportive friends, and food descriptions which had me more than once going to find a snack. The fact that Serenity is a fellow nurse made it all the more enjoyable.
The story is told from the dual narrative of Serenity and Gabriel. Each of these characters has come off of bad relationships and has no interest in becoming involved with anyone else at the moment. When they first meet in a grocery store, Gabriel makes a joke that Serenity finds insulting. It’s a good thing they aren’t likely to see each other again anytime soon. Wrong! Not only are they next-door neighbours, but Serenity is good friends with Gabriel’s sister. She has unknowingly invited her friend’s brother to her supper club.
Gabriel is only in Firefly Lake to keep watch over his Nana. His sister Andrea had sacrificed her own career for many years to do just that after Nana’s stroke a few years ago. When promotion was offered to Andrea based in another city, Gabriel did the right thing and offered to temporarily move to Firefly Lake. In his heart, he’s a city boy and hopes that he can convince Nana to move back to Atlanta with him.
I really feel that I got to know these characters well. Serenity is a little sassy but has a heart of gold. Who wouldn’t love to have a friend that cooks this well and invites you to her supper club? Gabriel is a foodie too and complements Serenity well. A movie adaptation based on the book? Yes, please!
A Table for Two is a lovely romance novel that I’m hoping is the first in a new series by the author. I want to spend more time with this group of friends and beautiful setting. I recommend this book to those readers who enjoy romance or women’s fiction.
I received a copy of this book for review purposes from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
