The House at Briar Lake

I was hooked from page one! The House on Briar Lake is a heartwarming romance you won't be able to put down. I've added it to my keeper shelf, and Roxanne Rustand can add me to her list of fans!

Roxanne Rustand has another winner in The House at Briar Lake. Lauren McClellan is a woman with a past she doesn't deserve and the mother of a very troubled little girl. House sitting and caring for an eccentric friend's menagerie of animals, the last thing Lauren needs to deal with is jaded big city lawyer, Michael Wells--a man who wants to know what Lauren is so desperately trying to hide. But when a fire forces them to reside in the same house for an entire summer, more than just the temperature outside heats up. Ms. Rustand has done a beautiful job of creating complex characters and a richly draw plot that will make you laugh and cry. I can't wait for more from this very talented author.

You'll love this heartwarming tale about a disillusioned lawyer who falls for a quirky house-sitter with a troubled daughter and a dark past. The author paints a compelling picture of two lonely souls thrown together by circumstance who overcome seemingly insurmountable problems to forge strong family bonds and a love to last a lifetime. Love the humor provided by the disruptive menagerie that serves as 'chaperone'. A very moving and uplifting book. Don't miss this one!
