Blurb
From the first time they locked eyes, Lila Morrow and Luke Bowman had a special spark. Their first kiss sealed their fairy-tale romance… until everything fell apart.
Luke’s life began when he met Lila—and in many ways, it ended when she
left him. Drowning in regrets, Luke is determined to give Lila the space to be
happy. The sexy, singing roofer quickly realizes, however, he really shouldn’t
have let her go.
After their breakup, Lila moves back in with her family. The
twenty-nine-year-old veterinarian’s transition to a life without Luke isn’t as
easy as she expected. With the help of her wild Grandma Claire and her
high-heel-loving sister, Maren, she starts to play the field… but she isn’t
sure she’ll ever stop loving the curly-haired man from her early twenties.
Luke and Lila’s love story ended, and their individual boxes have been
packed. But as they explore the single life and the dating world, both
discover sometimes the love you leave behind is exactly what you need to be
happy.

UNITED INDIE BOOK BLOG REVIEW
REVIEWER: CATHY
RATING: 4 STARS
| Yet again Lindsay has written a very unique story. I've loved the first two books I read of hers- Inked Hearts and All of You. This book is different because most of it Lila and Luke spend apart. We learn about their past and why they broke up through flashbacks. During the time both characters examine themselves and what they really want in life. There are many hilarious moments starring Grandma Clare and Maren. I admit I feel like it may have been too much time apart. I wish the plot had played out a little different and more of the book was like the last quarter. Another good book from Lindsay that I recommend. |
Author Bio
An English teacher, an author, and a fan of anything pink
and/or glittery, Lindsay's the English teacher cliché; she loves cats, reading,
Shakespeare, and Poe.
She currently lives in her hometown with her husband, Chad (her junior high sweetheart); their cats, Arya, Amelia, Alice, Marjorie, and Bob; and their mastiff, Henry.
Lindsay's goal with her writing is to show the power of love and the beauty of life while also instilling a true sense of realism in her work. Some reviewers have noted that her books are not the “typical romance.” With her novels coming from a place of honesty, Lindsay examines the difficult questions, looks at the tough emotions, and paints the pictures that are sometimes difficult to look at. She wants her fiction to resonate with readers as realistic, poetic, and powerful. Lindsay wants women readers to be able to say, “I see myself in that novel.” She wants to speak to the modern woman’s experience while also bringing a twist of something new and exciting. Her aim is for readers to say, “That could happen,” or “I feel like the characters are real.” That’s how she knows she's done her job.
Lindsay's hope is that by becoming a published author, she can inspire some of her students and other aspiring writers to pursue their own passions. She wants them to see that any dream can be attained and publishing a novel isn’t out of the realm of possibility.
