Every once in a while I read a romance novel that reminds me why I fell in love with them so many years ago. Lake Magic is one of those books. You can't help identifing with the wounded hero and failure-prone heroine. A book like this is a rare find to be treasured. I finished it all in one day, as I couldn't put it down. ( )

This was okay. Nothing complex or complicated, just a fairly straight-forward romance. I liked it, but didn’t find much about it to love. I found the animosity of Jenny’s family towards her a bit confusing. If you ask me, she had a right to still be a bit of a mess 9 months after her fiance’s death. There was more history than that to it, but the outright hostility didn’t sit well with me. I also could have done without the subplot involving Jenny’s sister and her absentee husband. It added absolutely nothing to the story, especially since it’s resolved without much to-do. Jared is your run-of-the-mill leading man, who didn’t really need a "hero" story behind him. I think he would have been much more interesting with more of a bad-boy story behind him. But these are really just nit-picky things. If you like romance in a beautiful setting, it’s not a bad book to pick up. ( )

This was a very easy read. An enjoyable cozy book to read in an afternoon. The author wrote characters that you wanted to get to know. I would love to read more from this author! ( )

Liked this book from start to finish, quick read. The author did a good job with the characters, they were well-drawn and realistically flawed and made you ache for their hearts to heal. Fabulous job! Will be waiting for her next book. ( )

This was a very quick, but enjoyable read. I really fell in love with the characters and couldn't wait for them to get together. I was also pleased that Jenny was able to find it within herself to grow up. She really learned how to take care of herself and her business. I would definitely read more from this author. ( )
