Synopsis:
Mia Gibbs spent her marriage
putting her husband’s needs before her own. And now, after a painful divorce,
she’s building a new life for herself and her two daughters back home at
Firefly Lake. The last thing she needs is a man to complicate things. But
former bad boy turned friend Nick McGuire has turned everything upside down.
Attorney Nick McGuire wasn’t
meant to be a family man. His career has always been his focus, and after
taking time out to help his mother, he’s ready to get back to the city…until
Mia and her daughters arrive at Firefly Lake. Mia is beautiful and intriguing,
and it doesn’t take long to realize being “just friends” will never be enough.
As the summer nights turn colder, Nick will have to choose between the life
he’s always wanted…the woman he can’t live without.
My Thoughts…
Summer at Firefly Lake is a
story of second chances. Mia needs a
second chance from a controlling, cheating, loveless husband and Nick needs a
second chance from a cheating marriage and bad role model father. Neither of them were looking for each
other, yet they had been in each other’s sights forever. The chemistry was slow, worth the wait, and
real. Both characters fought the
attraction, took steps to avoid falling in love yet love won out.
The small town setting was
wonderful. The all knowing mother, the
neighbors who know all your secrets and the gossip that spread like wild fire
is exactly how every small town is.
Jen Gilroy did a great job portraying the small town and bringing it to
life. I could picture the quaint
diner, the beautiful lake with the diving platform, and the wonderful cabins
surrounding it. Firefly Lake is
somewhere I’d love to visit again and again.
I would recommend picking up
your own copy of Summer at Firefly Lake and falling into this wonderful story
full of small town charm.
Thank you Cameron Yaeger at
Barclay Publicity for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Charlotte Gibbs wants nothing
more than to put the past behind her, once and for all. But now that she's back
at Firefly Lake to sell her mother's cottage, the overwhelming flood of
memories reminds her of what she's been missing. Sundrenched days. Late-night
kisses that still shake her to the core. The gentle breeze off the lake, the
scent of pine in the air, and the promise of Sean's touch on her skin…True, she
got her dream job traveling the world. But at what cost?
Sean Carmichael still doesn't
know why Charlie disappeared that summer, but after eighteen years, a divorce,
and a teenage son he loves more than anything in the world, he's still not over
her. All this time and her body still fits against his like a glove. She walked
away once when he needed her the most. How can he convince her to stay now?
Jen Gilroy lives in a small town
in eastern Ontario, Canada where her Irish ancestors settled in the nineteenth
century. She's worked in higher education and international marketing but,
after spending too much time in airports and away from her family, traded the
9-5 to write romantic women’s fiction to bring readers' hearts home.
Jen likes ice cream, diners,
vintage style and all things country. Her husband is her real-life romance
hero, and her teen daughter teaches her to cherish the blessings in the
everyday.
The Cottage at Firefly Lake, the
first book in her Firefly Lake series, was a finalist for Romance Writers of
America’s Golden Heart® award in 2015. It was also shortlisted for the Romantic
Novelists’ Association Joan Hessayon Award 2017.
