About the Book

Book: Lake Season
Author: Denise Hunter
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 12, 2019

A lost letter, a new love, and old secrets beckon this summer at the Bluebell Inn.

When their parents die in a tragic accident, Molly Bennett and her siblings pull together to fulfill their parents’ dream: turning their historic Bluebell, North Carolina home back into an inn. The situation would just be temporary—three years at the most—then they would sell the inn and Molly could get back to chasing her own dreams.

Adam Bradford (aka bestselling author Nathanial Grey) is a reclusive novelist with a bad case of writer’s block. Desperate for inspiration as his deadline approaches, he travels to the setting of his next book, a North Carolina lake town. There he immediately meets his muse, a young innkeeper who fancies herself in love with his alter ego.

Molly and Adam strike up an instant friendship. When Molly finds a long-lost letter in the walls of her inn she embarks on a mission with Adam to find the star-crossed lovers and bring them the closure they deserve. But Adam has secrets of his own. Past and present collide as truths are revealed, and Molly and Adam will have to decide if love is worth trusting.

My Review

If you're looking for a faith-filled, contemporary, Hallmark channel movie vibe, look no further than Lake Season! Molly and her siblings are faced with having lost both parents, and taking a risk together to restore the inn their parents had dreamed of opening. Along the way, Adam comes onto the scene, a little awkward, a little shy, and becomes the unlikely hero. The book also contains a dual timeline and we see another worthwhile romance blossom. The faith message is not overly preachy, but gives us a purpose behind the fears and scars our protagonists deal with. While the book is somewhat predictable, I feel in this type romance that can be a strength as that's the warm fuzzy feeling readers are searching for when reaching for a book like this. The backdrop was a cozy town of the Carolinas as well that made you want to visit. Overall, the quality is top notch if you're looking for a warm, inspiring contemporary romance.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, and all opinions given are entirely my own.
