3rd book in The Lakeside chronicles, This in Nina and Greg's story, you also catch up on Daisy (still pregnant) and guess who is getting married? Olivia and Conner. Once again Susan Wiggs has given us a great summer read! I cannot wait for feb 2008 for the 4th book Snowfall at willow lake!
Nina Romano, single mom and ex-mayor of Avalon, is just a bank loan away from realizing her lifelong dream: restoring the Inn at Willow Lake, a historic lodge once owned by the wealthy Bellamy family, and turning it into an elegant retreat. Then she finds that Greg Bellamy has beat her to the punch. Greg and Nina have been sparring since the night Greg decked the West Point cadet who had gotten her pregnant at age 15. Now, nearly 20 years later, Greg is the divorced dad of his own pregnant teen. Predictably, Greg is clueless when it comes to running a hotel, and the only person in town qualified to act as general manager—Nina—refuses to take the position. Wiggs's uncomplicated stories are rich with life lessons, nod-along moments and characters with whom readers can easily relate. Delightful and wise

This was good, a warm happy book, it makes you feel very good after reading. You feel like the people deserve the endings they got, and you feel very involved with the characters by the time the book ends.
The third in the Lakeside Chronicles was the story of Greg and Nina, both past and present. They'd loved each other subconsciously for most of the lives but it wasn't until Greg returned to Willow Lake after his divorce that they acted on it consciously. This was a very good book, with a sweet love story and I enjoy Susan Wiggs's writing.

This is book 3 of Wiggs' "The Lakeshore Chronicles," but you don't really need to read the first two. Nina Romano's daughter is ready to leave the nest and Nina is ready for her life to begin again. For starters, she is eager to run the Inn at Willow Lake, a lifelong dream she has had. However, she has not counted on Greg Bellamy, a man she has known and been intrigued by since childhood, buying the inn. Nina is challenged to work with Greg and reconcile her feelings for him.
This series is wonderful!!!
