Happily ever after.
That’s what I thought I found.
But the clock struck twelve before I even knew it, leaving me in nothing but rags and tears.
Silver Mist has always been the one place to bring me comfort and serenity.
But on an unexpected summer day, Declan Bell walks on in and changes my perspective of love forever.
Am I ready to say goodbye to my past and welcome a new beginning?
Starting over is never easy, and I’m not sure I can do it without getting hurt again.Declan
Happily ever… what?
I thought true love didn’t exist, thanks to my ex-wife.
She cheated and walked out, leaving me alone to raise our daughter.
My baby girl made my life complete.
I was fine and things were going well.
I couldn’t complain.
That was all until Giuliana Bianchi, the girl I had fallen in love with from way back when, came marching back into town.
I realized I didn’t know real love and how much more complete my life could be until I saw her beautiful smiling face.
But is she ready to jump back into a relationship after everything she’s been through?
Starting over is never easy, but if we can find a way to be together, I feel like it could be.

Cat gives this book 3 Meows with a 2 Purr heat index...
Hi Y’all! Come in and grab an oatmeal cookie and a cold drink while I tell you about this book I just read.
The title is The Lake House by Bells Emy, Silver Mist escapes book one.
The cover is beautiful. Then I read the blurb and it really got my interest because it’s about two adults that thought they had their happy ever after, but both ended up divorced. Giuliana moves to Silver Mist where she visited her grandparents in the summer. Her best friend lives there and so does her first crush.
Who’s my favorite main character?
I didn’t have a favorite main character. I did like all the characters, but Declan’s daughter Lily was a cutie.
The story is set in Silver Mist a small lake town. I liked how everyone knew everyone and it seemed a nice place to live. The story is a romance, though the main characters don’t get together until halfway through the book. There is a bit of suspense with Guile’s ex. The story is told in two views, and I did like that. We got Declan’s story and Guile’s story then them together.
Was there something I didn’t like?
My only issue was though I do like details the descriptions got to be too much. I didn’t need every step from the closet to laying the clothes on the bed to going back into bathroom etc... and this was every scene.
What would have made that better?
Less description, more of the main characters together possibly sooner. This story made me feel relaxed and happy. I liked the ending, it's a HEA.
How hot was the book?
2 purrs... there wasn’t any on page sex but the mention of it. If you like second chances, sweet romance and cute kids, you will like this.
