 Sometimes love is better the second time around. . . 

Mia Gibbs spent her marriage putting her husband's needs before her own. And now, after a painful divorce, she's building a new life for herself and her two daughters back home at Firefly Lake. The last thing she needs is a man to complicate things. But former bad boy turned friend Nick McGuire-and the one kiss they've shared-has turned everything upside down . . .

Attorney Nick McGuire wasn't meant to be a family man. His career has always been his focus and after taking time out to help his mother, he's ready to get back to the city . . . until Mia and her daughters arrive at Firefly Lake. Mia is beautiful and intriguing, and it doesn't take long to realize being "just friends" will never be enough. As the summer nights turn colder, Nick will have to choose between the life he's always wanted . . . and the woman he can't live without.

 I love second chance romances and if ever someone deserved a second chance at love it was Mia. Oh, and I just loved seeing Nick change his mind about his future and what makes life worth living. Mia was married to a man that no one deserves. And it was pretty sweet to see her grow and realize that she deserved a better life. Though this was a great book to pile up in a hammock and read this summer, it's the type you'll enjoy anytime. As you know, if you've read any of my reviews, I hate multiple POVs. The POVs are changed with each chapter so they are less jolting than general. I enjoyed visiting Firefly Lake again and though this is part of a series, it'll definitely stand alone. So pile up and enjoy a great read. 
Jen Gilroy grew up under the big sky of western Canada. After many years in England, she now lives in a small town in eastern Ontario where her Irish ancestors settled in the nineteenth century. She's worked in higher education and international marketing but, after spending too much time in airports and away from her family, traded the 9-5 to write contemporary romance to bring readers' hearts home. 

A small-town girl at heart, Jen likes ice cream, diners, vintage style and all things country. Her husband, Tech Guy, is her real-life romance hero, and her teen daughter, English Rose, teaches her to cherish the blessings in the everyday.

    I enjoyed your review of Summer on Firefly Lake. I read it a few weeks ago and loved it. I'm interested to see that you generally don't care for multiple POV books. I think the multiple POVs is one of the strengths of this book. I enjoyed exploring Nick's thoughts and feelings, which helped his growth as a character; likewise Gabrielle. I thought Mia made a wonderful main character, especially having previously met her in the first book in the series.
