So I don’t often read many adult fiction books, but when I do, I don’t tend to enjoy them as much as I would hope I would. The Lake House is one of those happy exceptions to this situation! I absolutely adored this fantastic little romantic read and can’t wait to hunt down Barlow’s previous books in the series. Let’s get on with the review!

There’s a newcomer to the village of Heartcross and she’s never been more in need of a friend.
As the new manager of local bistro, The Lake House, Ella is ready to start afresh ––and that could mean there’s love on the horizon in the form of the gorgeous Roman, the local water taxi driver. Every day Roman is there to ferry Ella to the restaurant on the other side of the lake and every night he makes sure she gets home safe. But Roman has secrets of his own…
Can the Love Heart Lane community offer Ella a chance of a new life? Or will the ghosts of her past catch up with her?
