This was a rather bland story. Everyone is nice and there really isn’t much of a plot. Basically, two couples find each other and grow to love each other. The inhabitants of their quirky little town like and help each other. There’s a bit of a threat from the MFC’s past, but it’s very mild and brief. Mostly, it’s just reading about the daily events in these people’s not-all-that-interesting lives.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book that I received from Netgalley; however, the opinions are my own and I did not receive any compensation for my review.

The Love Shack is a funny & heartfelt, romance book. Berkely moves to Cemetery, Indiana to start fresh. She has sworn off men due to a past relationship blowing up. She runs into Lawson who lived in the same neighborhood when they were kids. The past is brought back up and put into perspective. A couple of romances start up and they both work through their pasts together.

This was a really great book. It takes a lot of courage to change and start over. Challenges are faced and conquered. Berkely learns her worth and learns to stand up for herself. I didn't want to put the book down... it was very good and great for summer. She also finds new friends and a great community that has her back. It is definitely worth the read!

I enjoyed this romance. Both main characters have separately left their hometown and their rough upbringings. They have both relocated to the same small town. Good pacing and a sweet romance as they overcome their past and head towards happiness.

The Love Shack is the third and, I believe, the final book in the Indiana Summers trilogy. Once again, we are back in the small town of Cemetery, Indiana. This book focuses on Berkley and Lawson. Both are relatively new to the town, but they also have a history together. Having grown up in the same town in another state, each is surprised they both ended up in Cemetery.

I loved this installment. I was sad when it ended because I have really come to love this town and its residents. Even Kathleen has grown on me. But at the heart of the book are Berkeley and Lawson. Two people who want to put the past behind them and find a place to belong. Their story was sweet and so fun. The relationship between Berkley and Betty was also really adorable. Betty has shown so much growth over the series. We also are treated to another romance in the book as well. As with the first two books in the series, I highly recommend this one.

I loved being back in Cemetery and seeing these quirky characters! This is such a fun small town to visit and I was happy to see Berkley, who had a painful past get her HEA. Berkley & Lawson both grew up in the same area and both worked hard to thrive. I love the animals that Berkley helps. There is quite a bit that happens in the book that kept me hooked until I finished reading the book. This story was extremely entertaining!

The Love Shack by Lori Foster is book 3 in her amazing charming contemporary series Indiana Summers series!
I could read Foster’s work every single day! And this series is my absolute favorite.
Foster delivers characters and situations that felt genuine. They are just lovely.
Berkley and Lawson are incredible characters who I absolutely adored.
If you are looking for a feel-good read to curl up with, this is the book!

Thank You NetGalley and William Morrow for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

The Love Shack was so cute and so good. The main characters Berkeley and Lawson first met years ago, grew up in the same small town, and are both running from memories. Running into each other was not an initial happy surprise but they want a fresh start. Its just that, they weren't expecting they would have their fresh start ... together.

Cemetery Indiana is a quirky little town, with residents who are so much fun. I was excited to see where the mannequin, Kathleen, ended up this go round and I was not disappointed with her antics. The Love Shack was another amazing story with as equally amazing characters. I cannot wait to see what is in store for us next in this series. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did.

Received ARC in exchange for voluntary honest review.

Starting with the adorable cover, The Love Shack is another hit by Lori Foster. What is there not to love about a small town romance that is based around an animal rescue?! It is a cute story that includes second chances and new friendships. I love the quirky humor in the story as well.
Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for my opinion.

From the name Cemetery, Indiana, you wouldn't think of a small town close knit community. Four people moved to this town trying to move on from their traumatic pasts. Berkley and Lawson grew up close together in their dirt poor neighborhood and seeing each other again just brings back bad memories. But the more time they spend together, the more they start to heal and even find a spark of attraction. Quiet and reserved Oliver escaped his family obligations to move to Cemetery and start a fitness center. When he first meets Lark, her sunny personality is startling but quickly grows on him and the rest of the town. This is a cute small town romance, the perfect lighthearted beach read.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Berkley and Lawson were both from the same town, and both ended up in Cemetery. They try to avoid each other, but the town matchmakers are at it again with the mannequin and the animals. The attraction grows as the animals are taken care of. A fun and heartwarming story from Ms. Foster!

This story follows Berkeley Carr and Lawson Salder as they operate as business owners in a small town of Cemetery, Indiana.. Both characters grew up on the same street in a different city that was full of crime, drugs and scandal. Berkeley and Lawson are both surprised to see each other in this new small town;
Kathleen is always fun . I have to say this isn’t a Lori Foster series where I am excited about the new book

We’re back in Cemetery with another wonderful, charming book with all the feels. Berkley runs the new animal shelter & Lawson owns his own local business. The twist is they both come from the same hometown they were trying to forget but are attracted to each other. Hero the Rescue dog is real star of show!! A beautifully written book with wonderful characters & that supports animal rescue/adoptions. I highly recommend book!!

I really love this small town Cemetary and it's relatable characters. They might be nosy but they are all there for their own.
Berkley and Lawson came from the same neighbourhood. A town of hard knocks that they both escaped from. Fate brought them both to Cemetery, both deciding to ignore each other as Berkley was involved in a former scandal. The chemistry and friendship was inevitable.
Berkley ran the local animal rescue centre, her love for animals making her close to the whole town. Lawson ran a print shop after travelling the world helping people it was time to wind down.
I really enjoyed this light hearted read, I always feel that I can just immerse myself in this town and read until it's sadly over...or is it? I can't wait for the next one.

Whether you're a die-hard Lori Foster fan or just looking for a pick-me-up read, this heartwarming tale guarantees to put a smile on your face.

The Love Shack was such a fun read. Love the double romance story of Berkeley and Lawton, and Lark and Oliver. They are individuals with troubled pasts which they hope to forget and move on. Can they each finally find love and a place to call home? Oh, yes they do and so much more! I love how everyone in Cemetery looks out for each other especially Betty, the town’s matriarch. If you’re looking for some laughs, friends, all kinds of emotion, and heart-warming love, you find it in “The Love Stack”. I’ve been reading Lori Foster’s books for many years now and she does not disappoint!!!

I enjoyed reading The Love Shack by Lori Foster. You will fall in love with all the characters. I received an ARC of this book courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions expressed in this review are my own and given freely. Happy Reading!

Take a fun trip back to Cemetery, Indiana in this newest release from Author Lori Foster!

I love how there are several POV’s in this read and how they include Kathleen in their town (the town mannequin haha).

Berkley is the main heroine in this read, and she has taken it as her personal life goal to make her animal shelter (The Love Shack) the most successful place for the most wonderful animals, all while trying to keep her past in the past.

There are a lot of different storylines in this read, but all intertwined. This was not my “favorite” Lori Foster read…but still a good beach read.

I have only read 1 or 2 Lori Foster books in the past, and am realizing now I am likely not her target audience. This book, while it had a lot going for it in description, ultimately did not work for me. My biggest qualm is how Berkley apparently has this "seedy past" from an old "seedy town" and she's desperate to live under the radar...but its way too far into the book when we get any inkling of what actually happened to her. It's a stereotypical, based in misogyny type of shame that just doesn't really push the book forward at all. There are two romances happening simultaneously, and its a lot to juggle in their given chapters, so everything felt a little bit too surface level and rushed. This is also part of a series so perhaps previous books would have given me some context as well. Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to provide my honest review.

I love Lori's books, and this one is no exception! I urge you to pick it up and read it and you will fall in love with it too! Thank you for giving us another wonderful book!

What a wonderful trip back to Cemetary, Indiana! First, I want to say how much I love Betty's character and how happy I was that she was such an important part of this story. I laughed, I cried, I got mad, and I laughed some more.
Lawson and Berkley have history and watching them make their way to each other and overcome their pasts was an inspiration. We were lucky to get a bonus story with Oliver and Lark! Love them!
Lori's gift is creating depth with her characters. Even Hero and Cheese have depth.
Expect more shenanigans with Kathleen and friends. Kathleen and Lawson really cracked me up!
I must say that this is my favorite so far and it's a must read. Past friends make appearances for laughs and fun! I fully support pet adoption, having a dobie rescue myself, and love that this story centers around an animal shelter.
Take a trip to Cemetary, Indiana! You'll be glad you did!
