Dockside (The Lakeshore Chronicles)

I loved this book! I enjoyed the development of Nina and Greg's relationship, and I thought the problems Greg had with his kids were realistic and well done. When I see a Susan Wiggs book, I always snatch it up. Sometimes while traveling, I take them with me. I can always count on her to entertain me with a well-crafted story. Kudos, Susan!

This is the latest in a series that is worth the time. You'll love the characters. I can't wait for the next one!

Susan Wiggs is a wonderful storyteller. I really enjoyed this book. The characters were alot of fun. I recommend the all the books in the Lakeshore Chronicles.

In her tradition, Susan Wiggs weaves an intricate story! It kept me reading more than usual...a wonderful delight!

Former mayor of Avalon, New York, single mom Nina Romano realizes her dream is close to being fulfilled. She needs to obtain a bank loan to restore and convert the historical Inn at Willow Lake into an upscale retreat. However, to her chagrin, she learns her long time rival Greg Bellamy has decided to do just that to his family owned historical Inn; he begins the restoration. Divorced, Greg, the father of two including a pregnant teen, wants to hire Nina to manage the facility, but she refuses. As they continue an argument that they started twenty years ago when they were teens, the two continue to ignore the attraction they always felt, but feared pursuing. However, this time around they have teenage children and the inn to contend with besides their not so secret anymore feelings of love. Returning to the Lakeshore Chronicles (see SUMMER AT WILLOW LAKE and THE WINTER LODGE), Susan Wiggs writes an entertaining contemporary romance. The lead combatants battle their inner attraction that they hide from the other out of fear of ridicule and they assume from their offspring. The story line focuses on their second chance at a permanent relationship if either would take that gigantic fearful first step. Harriet Klausner
