I love this series. It is set in a place where I have spent so much joyful times. Crystal meets the new doctor and they both feel sparks. As their relationship grows, they run into roadblocks, mostly from family. They both had difficult upbringings, and it comes to a head. How they deal with it makes the relationship thrive. The characters in this series keep the friends and family feel strong. I highly recommend this book. I received an advanced reader copy of this book, and this is my honest opinion.

Judith Keim has added another book to the Lilac Lake series with the book Love’s Cure.
Crystal owns the Lilac Café and has many friends she values so much. There are so many in the village who connect with each other. I could picture the characters and feel how much they care for each other.
Emmett Chambers is new to the town when he moves there to take over the position of the longtime doctor when he retires.
It’s not long before Crystal and Emmett connect. But Emmett has secrets that may make it impossible for that relationship to go far.
I enjoyed this book so much and cannot wait for the next book in the series to come out.
Thank you NetGalley, Judy Keim and Wild Quail Publishing for the ARC of the book Love’s Cure. This is my personal review.

Emmett Chambers arrives at Lilac Lake to take over as the new doctor, succeeding the retiring Dr. Johnson. Moving into Dr. Johnson's former home, Emmett enlists Crystal, the owner of the Lilac Cafe, to assist with renovations. Attraction sparks between Emmett and Crystal, but their budding relationship is challenged when Emmett's mother arrives, disapproving of Crystal. Raised in privilege, Emmett contrasts with Crystal, who raised her younger sister. The 'summer group,' friends now settled in Lilac Lake, welcome Emmett, yet Crystal doubts whether he truly desires the small-town life. As a family friend from Emmett's past comes to town and stirs up trouble Crystal is unsure if Emmett is really interested in her.

What a great story. Crystal is an amazing woman. She’s strong and courageous. She loves her sister and friends wholeheartedly. Emmett is really nice. He did seem a bit clueless from time to time. It’s rich in secondary characters. I enjoyed visiting with old favorites.The book left me feeling happy. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

I wanted to share a quote before I forger it. Believe me, this one will make you stop to think and it's a reminder that people are just people.
"We all have secrets" thoughts, wishes, hidden desires. Like you’ve told me before, it’s best just to let life unfold. "
She couldn't be more right but sometimes that just too hard to do.
I love Keim's books for this reason. They're chock full of wisdom and life's lessons. I'm always happy to get a new Judith Keim book. They never disappoint.
They're about family, love, hope for the future.
I was delighted to grab this one.
This book will not let you put it it down until the characters have told you their story.
I think GG is my favorite character. Crystal is second.
I found myself rooting for her all the way through. I knew I'd like her from the beginning. She's just one of those characters that will grow on you as you get to " know " them.
I just adored this book and the cover is simply gorgeous!
5 stars for keeping my interest. I highly recommend
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.
