BLOG TOUR & REVIEW: Love on the Lake by Helena Hunting

 

Love on the Lake, a beautiful small town standalone romance filled with laughter and tears from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting, is live now!

Teagan Firestone has always been the dutiful daughter, especially since her mom died. But as her father finally begins to move on, it’s her turn to do the same. Her destination: Pearl Lake, a close-knit community with an entrepreneurial spirit and secrets of its own.

One of them is Aaron Saunders, who dropped out of college to work construction for Pearl Lake’s upper class. He’s a mystery and has a playboy reputation—that is, until he meets Teagan. Neither of them is looking for love, but in a town this small, it’s hard not to let your heart get involved.

As their romance heats up, Aaron’s elusive past comes to light and Teagan is there for him, bringing them even closer together. But when Teagan is forced to face her own demons, her inability to accept the support of friends and family threatens the life she’s worked so hard to build.

Can Aaron love her, even when she can’t love herself?

Caroline's Review 
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was such a wonderful story.

"I don't need complications in my life, and you're becoming one."

Teagan Firestone is a giver who can't say no. When she moves to Pearl Lake to discover what she loves doing for herself, she ends up with a full plate and burning the candle at both ends. Add in her growing relationship with Aaron Saunders, who has his own issues, and things begin to slowly unravel for her.

"I will love you even when you can't love yourself. I'm not going anywhere."

I didn't expect this story. It was sexy and humorous, but also pretty angsty. I loved both Teagan and Aaron. They started off prickly, but all that chemistry between them eventually combusted into something hot, and also something that seeped its way into their hearts. They were both somewhat broken people - Aaron carried around a lot of guilt, while Teagan's aim was to please everyone, but ignored her own personal issues. This story was soul-searching and painful, but also a celebration of the power of love - being able to love someone during times when they couldn't love themselves enough, and making choices that are hard but, ultimately, healing and fulfilling. Wonderful read!

Excerpt

She crooks a finger, beckoning me closer. But there’s only six inches separating us. If I take a step forward, my boots will touch her toes. So I bend instead, until my ear is next to her lips, like I’m waiting for her to tell me a secret.

For a moment I consider the fact that I’ve been up and down the stairs to the loft at least a dozen times. The only air circulation in here is from a portable fan, so I’ve been sweating and shirtless for several hours. I might not smell all that fresh.

But that thought disappears when her fingertips drag along my collarbone and I feel the warmth of her breath at the edge of my jaw.

“Aaron.”

Her palm wraps around the back of my neck. So soft. So warm.

I swallow and grind out, “I’m listening.”

Her thumb finds that spot between my ear and my jaw, and she presses, gently at first and then more firmly. Her lips brush the shell of my ear, and she whispers, “Look at me.”

I feel like a marionette, and she’s pulling all my strings. I turn my head toward her, and her lips brush across my cheek, sending a hot shiver down my spine, lighting me up like a pinball machine.

Teagan Firestone is a dangerous woman. Sweet, beautiful, broken, and yet . . . bold and resilient. She’s a lethal combination, and it’s all compounded when those soft lips meet mine.

I don’t even know what’s happening. Well, I know. I’m kissing her. Or she’s kissing me. She definitely started it.

It’s like an explosion. Like an entire warehouse of firecrackers igniting at the same time. I groan into her mouth and wrap an arm around her waist, pulling her flush against me.

Our tongues tangle, and her other hand grips my biceps, sliding up and over my shoulder. She knocks my hat off my head, and it drops to the floor behind me. And then both of her hands are in my hair, sliding through the damp strands, gripping at the crown, angling my head farther to the side. Deepening the kiss.

Dragging it out.
