From the USA TODAY bestselling author
of On the Corner of Love and Hate comes a romantic comedy
about a woman who grudgingly returns home to small-town Pennsylvania, only to
find herself falling in love—not only with the town, but with two of its
citizens.
Charlotte Bishop is out of options in New York City. Fired,
broke, and blacklisted by her former boss, she’s forced to return to her
hometown of Hope Lake, PA to lick her wounds. Although she’s expecting to find
a miserable place with nothing to do, she is pleasantly surprised to discover
it is bustling and thriving.
She’s only supposed to be in Hope Lake temporarily until she
can earn enough money to move back to New York. She’s not supposed to reconnect
with her childhood friends or her beloved grandmother. She’s not supposed to
find her dream job running the local florist shop. And she’s definitely not
supposed to fall for not one but two of Hope Lake’s golden boys: one the
beloved high school English teacher, the other the charming town doctor.
With a heart torn between two men and two cities, what’s a
girl to do?
My thoughts:
Meet Me on Love Lane is the second book in the Hope Lake series. I really enjoyed the first book (review coming soon for On the Corner of Love and Hate) and was looking forward to this one. One thing I love about romance books is when I find a new book boyfriend. I loved Henry. He was quiet and gentle and just what Charlotte thought she didn't want. While I struggled at first to believe that Charlotte would have no memories of Henry, as the story unfolded, I could see how she would block out that part of her life. The mind is a tricky thing. But it was endearing watching her slowly remember how important Henry used to be to her.
The romance between Charlotte and Henry is a slow burn. There is a kind of love triangle, but it's not annoying as so many are. The romance part is really secondary to the coming home storyline. Charlotte is out of a job and searching for her place in the world. So it's more about her figuring out what comes next and reconnecting with the life she could have had if only she hadn't been taken away from Hope Lake when she was ten. I definitely recommend this series. Each works well as a stand alone. I look forward to Nick's story next.
