She didn’t want a one-night stand. He couldn’t promise more than a
ten-day fling. Sometimes compromise is all you need.
Zack Weller is timely, orderly, and meticulous. Too bad his
seven-year-old, twin sons are hellions. With his divorce final, a two-week vacation
beckons him to his best friend’s cottage. Unfortunately, he can’t help the
magnetic pull of memories from the house next door—the one that was once his
childhood home—or fight the force of nature in the naked woman sunbathing in
that backyard.
River Nagle is a free spirit. She understands the trials and
tribulations some people face and offers the compassion to deal with them head
on. When she inherits a lakeside home, she takes the blessing for what it’s
worth: a gift and a new beginning. Until one day two little boys make
themselves at home in the tree fort in her backyard and she meets their hot,
growly dad who steals her wine, her time, and her heart.
Newly divorced, single father grump meets a ray of sunshine,
next-door neighbor in this small town, second chance romance where learning to
love over 40 works with the right teacher.
4 Stars
We are back for book two of the Lakeside Cottage series and it is great to see old friends once again. We find Zack learning to let go of the past, finding a way to let love back into his life while learning to connect with his twin boys and not let work be his main focus.
Zack has carried his chip on his shoulder for a long time and it is time to let it go, he just doesn't know it yet. Though he loves spending time with his besties, he doesn't like the skeletons that haunt him while he is there. The house next door to Anna & Ben's place holds many memories, the bad overshadowing the good. Finally free of his loveless marriage he is determined to reconnect with his 7 yr old twin boys during this vacation. He certainly wasn't counting on the beautiful neighbor next door or Ben's cryptic message.
River finds herself starting a new and fighting for what was given to her. She loves her job as a nurse and helping people but it has taken its toll on her over the years. Hoping this fresh start in a fresh town will be just what the doctor ordered. She is a quiet person who keeps to herself and doesn't have many friends in her new town. When the twin boys come crashing into her yard, she is drawn to them and sees their need for affection. The grumpy but sexy dad was not on her radar, but she sees something deep below the surface she want to let free.
There is a strong chemistry between Zack and River from the very beginning and the banter keeps bringing that smile back as they deal with the hurts of the past, the loss of trust that is so hard to win back. Zack tries to barrel through and take care of River but she is a strong woman and doesn't want to be handled, she is looking for someone to enjoy the journey together with. Can they find a compromise?
I am enjoying this series and excited to see where Archer takes us next.
