Alright you know me, books about books are my favorite so when I came upon this book I was sold immediately. I mean that cover is swoon worthy for sure. The Little Bookstore on Heart Lake Lane has that small town feel that makes you want to step into the pages of the book and never leave. I enjoyed the authors writing style and how she made the characters feel so realistic, just your average people next door. If your looking for a feel good book look no further.

I loved this book!! it was so freaking cute. The whole story was very well written. I loved all the characters. I did not put this book down once until the last page of the book. It was so amazing

This is the second book in the Heart Lake series, but it can easily be read as a stand alone. In this story we get Rosie the bookstore owner’s story. Rosie is a single mom to twins, struggling to keep her bookstore open and be a good parent to her twins. One day Evan walks into her bookstore with his daughter, and the two of them end up turning her life upside down. Evan is a single father, a widow, and a former crush of Rosie’s from high school. Rosie and Evan’s children hit it off instantly and want to spend all of their free time together despite their parents having a rocky start. As the summer progresses sparks fly between the parents. Can the two of them open their hearts completely to each other, or will their pasts lead them to keep their hearts closed off to the idea of love? This was a really sweet contemporary romance, and I look forward to the next book in this series. I received an ARC, and this is my honest review.

This book was sent to me electronically by Netgalley for review. Thanks to the publisher and the author. This is a fast moving novel with quirky characters. The story about a bookstore on a lake…who doesn’t love this title? Curl up in a comfy chair with a cozy blanket and enjoy.

I received a free copy of, The Little Bookstore on Heart Lake Lane, by Sarah Robinson, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Rosie Dean has been pretty busy raising twins, working at her bookshop, an writing secret parenting advice column. Single dad Evan, her high school crush returns to town, will sparks fly, or is Rosie way to busy for love? It was a good story, but it had an abrupt ending.

Rosie Dean has her hands full. As a single mother of 8-year-old twins and owner of the Fact or Fiction bookstore in Heart Lake, she doesn't have time for dating. She does manage to squeak in her weekly writing of an anonymous parenting column for the local paper, as well as time with friends, but otherwise her schedule just doesn't have room for surprises.

Evan Nowak, a relatively recent widower with a 9-year-old daughter, is spending the summer in Heart Lake with his aging parents, working remotely and trying to keep his daughter on task academically but struggling to connect with her emotionally. He bumps into Rosie (his high school crush) at the bookstore, where their children meet and become instant friends, but it takes the adults a little longer to warm up to friendship. In the meantime, Evan also seeks advice from Miss Mommy, the local parenting columnist. And as Evan and Rosie and their families spend more time together, Evan thinks there might just be good reason to return home to Heart Lake for good.

This second book in the Heart Lake series (following Dreaming of a Heart Lake Christmas) is filled with the same warmth and humor as the first. Rosie and Evan are both likeable and relatable characters, sometimes struggling to be good parents, sometimes screwing up, but always trying to learn and do better. They have the advantage of both having crushes on each other in high school, making their current attraction easy to believe, and they support each other in their parenting adventures and family gatherings. But honestly, the kids steal the show -- twins Becca and Zander as well as newcomer Tess are full of energy and questions but also give lots of love and support to their parents.

Low angst, mild steam level, but entirely heartwarming and cozy. 4 stars.

Thank you, Forever/Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley, for providing an eARC of this book. Opinions expressed here are solely my own.

It took me a few chapters to get into this one. But once I did I loved Evan and Rosie and the romance brewing between them. A nice cozy romance of two single parents and their small town.

This small town romance was perfect. I adored this and I couldn't put it down. This made me smile and feel all warm and fuzzy. I loved this. I definitely will be reading g more from Sarah Robinson.

The Little Bookstore on Heart Lake Lane by Sarah Robinson

I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley for review. My opinions are my own.

3/5 stars

If you’re in the mood for a cozy, clean romance, this is for you. This is a grumpy meets cheery, small town romance, as well as two people reuniting from high school. Kind of melds it all together. The author does it well, though.

I would have given it more stars if it was longer. I would have loved to have had more grumpiness from Evan before the inevitable *feelings* took over.

All in all, a quick, fun read!

I love contemporary romance books and really enjoyed book 2 in the Heart Lake series. This is Rosie and Evan’s story.

Rosie has quite the chaotic life trying to raise twins along with running her bookstore and writing a parenting advice column in secret. She tells herself she has absolutely no time for dating . That is until her high school crush returns to Heart Lake for the summer.

Evan Mills is a single dad and widower of a grieving tween daughter and a bit of a grouch. I think of him more as a serious guy trying to do the best he can to raise his daughter on his own and to stay strong . He hopes a few weeks at the lake is just what they need.

Evan never anticipated reconnecting with Rosie Dean or that he could ever feel whole again. Will the summer be long enough to heal two hearts?

I enjoyed reading Rosie and Evan’s story and getting to know their children and catching up with some of the characters from the first book in the series.

I enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really enjoyed Rosie and Evan's story. Both had things to go thru and do, and their kids helped the story along.
Rosie didn't really know Evan in High School but she does now.
