5 stars
Wow! What an adorable, summery read that makes me incredibly excited to spend some time in the sun!
Amanda has written yet another wonderful contemporary romance that held my attention quite securely for an entire day. (Did I mention that this is the first novel I’ve been able to read from start to finish, in over a year?)
The characters were wonderful, witty, and downright hilarious! But, there were serious and thoughtful themes discussed throughout the story. This will definitely be a reread for me, and thank goodness for a fast Amazon delivery because this will now be going on my favorites shelf!
**I received a complimentary copy from the author. All opinions expressed are my own.**
Note: This is a romance, and while it is clean, there is mild innuendo and romantic tension between the characters. Nothing occurred on screen, which makes this a minty romance. Read at your own discretion.
About The Book
Fake dating my best friend’s cousin for the summer? Yes, please! No strings, no risks, no problems.
Camille
I’m on a man-ban. That’s right, no dating for me. Until my radar for picking morons gets fixed, I’m on a look-but-don’t-touch policy. During a summer vacation at my best friend’s lake house, her cousin Bennett comes up with the perfect plan. If we pretend we’re together, his meddling family will butt out of our love lives. But as we spend time with each other, my traitorous heart has other ideas. Like falling for the widower who’s completely off-limits. It’s just my luck that the one person I’d drop my restrictions for doesn’t want me for real.
Bennett
I know I need to get back to living a full life, but it’s hard when guilt and grief are a constant cloud raining over me. Things are going as well as a first water skiing lesson—disastrous—until I meet Camille at Lake Lloyd. She’s the best candidate to help me get my family off of my back about dating again. Our scheme is going great until she hints she wants our relationship to be real. How do I make room in my broken heart for her? How do I cherish my past without messing up my future? But if I don’t try, I risk chasing away the one person who makes me feel alive. I have no clue what to do. Why is faking it so much easier? If only love came with a guarantee.
It Started at the Lake is a sweet with a sprinkling of heat romance featuring a best friend’s cousin, fake dating, age gap, found family, rich/poor, and opposites attract tropes.
