MY REVIEW
A picturesque setting, loving characters, an atmosphere of warmth and goodwill stood at the backdrop of this book with some terrific writing by author Christie Barlow.
I needed something light yet substantial to mark the end of the year. Having not read the series, this was book 5, didnt hamper my enjoyment in any way. I loved getting to know both the characters, Ella and Roman.
Having been cheated out of her money and betrayed in love, Ella had to make a new start. And the village of Heartcross was the right place to start life anew. Roman was just the person to help her sail through rough waters.
The words juxtaposed on paper marked its significance on my heart. I felt happy reading the book as if I were starting life with Ella. Roman as her love interest too had his own secrets, and it was fun to see their chemistry blossom.
The Lake House was a complete feel-good story with a villain to add spice to their lives. Heartbreak, friendship, and love were at its core and beautiful prose evoking my emotions gave it a delightful flight.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher, and this is my journey down its pages, straight from the heart. STRICTLY HONEST and UNBIASED.
