"I found this to be a very enjoyable book. I believe some people who read this book don't like it as much since the plot is predictable in a sense, but sometimes when we read a book for recreation and enjoyment that is what we need! I personally read books for many reason and enjoy books based on characters and situations rather than the story or plot sometimes. Lisa Wingate's characters are insightful and have depth, which is nice to see. I appreciated some of the people and situations is this book, because I have been in them myself as I worked as a park ranger on a lake, and so I found some of the humorous subtleties in the story that others might not see. I really appreciated her use of quotes (as I am a quote person) in the wall of the local tourist shop and her wisdom on life situations shining through her characters." — Lora (4 out of 5 stars)

“Rich characterization and strong sense of place. Highly recommended.”
" This book was pretty good. The only thing that bothered me was that it took awhile to get into the book. It was hard for me to stay with it. "
" It's OK. I liked the first one in this series better. "
" This book was about Andrea starting over after her divorce. She is a counselor who does field work in the backwoods of Moses Lake, Texas. "
" I enjoyed this book, the first I've read by Lisa Wingate. I liked the author's diction and her plot. It is light reading, but provides good escape. "
" I loved this book. Lisa Wingate writes so beautifully, draws her characters so realistically, and always touches my heart. "
" I love Lisa Wingate. She seems to have such realistic characters and situations that I am immediately sucked right in. I am hoping this will become another series Tending Roses... "
" Enjoyed the characters in this book. Small town folks pulling together for each other. "
" Having not been through a divorce I can't say that this portrayal is accurate but it sure feels that way. How do you regain your self confidence? I couldn't buy into the dramatic ending but enjoyed the book just the same. "
" This book was amazing. It was so suspensful whenever Andrea saw those men. From there on it is amazing. Overall I really liked the book. "
" Great book, I really enjoyed it. "
" Interesting story. Good author. I'm reading more of her books soon. "
" I felt like I was spending the summer by the lake. Larkspur Cove was realistic without being dishonoring or gratuitously graphic. It is edge-of-the-seat suspenseful. Yum. "
" I wasn't thrilled with the setup of the book- alternating chapters based in first-person of Mart and Andrea. It got frustrating every so often. I can kind of understand, but it's not for me. "
" This is the first Lisa Wingate I've read. It looked like fluff, but it had a great story with interesting characters. I listened to it, and was looking forward to my time in the car with this one. "
" Not terrible. But not all that interesting. Nice wrapped up ending, which I always enjoy. "
" Another Lisa Wingate winner with me. I always seem to miss her characters when I'm done reading her books. (Probably 4 1/2 stars, but I don't know how to do that) "
" This was a very good story and look forward to reading more from Lisa Wingate "
" Loved this book, like all Lisa's books she weaves you into a tale with characters much like the ones you live next door to. She's a refreshing writer. "
" I always enjoy Ms. Wingate's books. This one did not disappoint. "
