I really enjoyed this book. There was more humor and lightheartedness in this story than in other books by Susan Wiggs. A good curl-up-and-read book. I generally don't read books in the romance genre, but Susan Wiggs is an exception.

After a third failed engagement, Real Estate Expert Olivia trade her Manhattan Apartment & lucritive job to renovate an old family resort in Catskills. She meet an old flame which reignites, family secrets are exposed. Its a really great story. Enjoyable all the way through.

this is another can-you-go-back-home story. In this one, the family owned Summer Camp is seriously in need of repair so a granddaughter agrees to fix it up. She hires a contractor - who happens to have been a teenaged love - and things get interesting. I wanted to go back to camp, too.

Loved it! Great character development! Perfect partner to her other book The Winter Lodge. I'll be looking for more Susan Wiggs novels...she's a great writer!

I LOVED this book! Wonderful storyline and great characters! You will be able to find aspects of yourself in one or more of the characters...timeless.

I love to read books by Susan Wiggs and this book was no exception. This is the first of the Lake Shore Chronicles. The Winter Lodge is the second. I would recommend reading them in order. Can't wait for the third to come out!

good as always****

A quick easy read. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

Loved it, can't wait to read the next one !!!!

Book 1: The Lakeshore Chronicles

Read All Book Reviews of "Summer At Willow Lake Lakeshore Chronicles Bk 1"

Olivia Bellamy is a three times loser in the romance department. Reeling from her latest breakup, she decides to go to her grandparents' camp in the Catskill Mountains. The camp holds a lot of painful memories for Olivia because she was always the fat unpopular kid. Determined to disassociate her past from her present, she decides to renovate the camp for her grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary celebration. It has been closed for a long time and she has her work cut out for her. She didn't count on running into her first love, Connor Davis. They had been at camp together as kids and both had walked away from their relationship with broken hearts. The story goes back and forth between their past days at camp and the present work being done. Working together causes them both to remember the past and their feelings for one another.

This is a romance without getting all mired down with bodice ripping writing. The characters are likable and we see both Olivia and Connor's sides of the story. I also enjoyed the descriptions of the scenery and wished I could visit.

Book was very interesting and fun to read. I almost believed the story was real. Would recommend.

I love the book, it was a great summer read with a lot of romance, but not overly detailed.

Enjoyable reading.

I really liked this book. A perfect example of don't judge a book by it's cover. It looked kind of boring, but it was a quick easy read. I got into it from the first chapter. Really loved it.

A good book that kept my attention but not an all time favorite.

I have read all 5 chronicles in order and from what I can say this was fantastic I would advise anyone who is into romanic this is a must read and all 5 an best to read in order.

I really enjoyed this book, it brought back so many memories of my own summer camp adventures. Those are some of my favorite memories of my youth! I'm jealous of Olivia, being able to inherit that kind of camp!! I WISH! I thought the story was sweet and inviting, continuing to ask you to come back for more. Now I'm looking forward to Book 2.

Wonderful book! First in the Lake Shore Chronicles series. Second and third books are "The Winter Lodge" and "Dockside".

really enjoyed reading
