Love on the Lake by Helena Hunting

 








2.5 Star

Teagan has always done whatever she can to make her father happy. Now that one brother is in prison and the family had to downsize. Now she’s trying to find herself. When her dad drops on her that his girlfriend is moving in, she decides to visit her brother to have some time to think and decide what she wants out of her life. When she arrives at Pearl Lake she walks in on Aaron working on her apartment. She’s not sure about him and his reputation. The more time they spend together the more they want each other. When secrets are revealed will they be able to weather the storm?

If this book had stayed with the first half of the book it would have been a solid 4. It was a very cute book that made a drastic turn at the halfway mark and did a 180 and went very dark and was completely out of left field. The characters personality changed and made them both very unlikeable and I struggled with finishing the book.  Teagan ends up being “addicted” to her meds but the way that it was handled was wrong and I struggled with liking Aaron. Overall, not one of Helena Hunting’s better book and I will probably skip it in the future.

Love Next Door by Helena Hunting

 











4 Star

Dillion left town to go to college and thought she would never come back other than to visit.  But when her brother gets into an accident, she loses her job, and her boyfriend now is the perfect time to go home and regroup.  She is hoping it will be a quick visit and then back to Chicago what she isn’t planning on is getting an eye full of her neighbor Donovan.  They got off to a rocky start but soon can’t live without each other.  But they are both dealing with their own drama in their personal life.  Will they be able to get passed the problems to find their happy ending?

This was a very fast read for me and I enjoyed the light romance.  I liked the give and take in the relationship between Donovan and Dillion.  The fights between them were very amusing.  Another part of the book I liked was when he fucked up, he does make it up to her.  Overall, it was a quick lighthearted read with parts of hot and funny bits.
