The Summer Cottage

The Summer Cottage


Somerset Lake, Book 1

by Annie Rains

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


New small town- who dis???


Author Annie Rains teased us with hints of Somerset lakes beauty in her last book (Reunited on Dragonfly Lane), but the reality of this new fictional small town is even better!


Recently single mom, Trisha has moved to the idyllic lakeside town of Somerset Lake for her son and her to get a fresh start without her ex husbands crimes tainting them by association.


All is going well until her boss’s grandson, Jake comes to the the cottage complex to talk her into selling the place and Strats snooping into Trisha’s past… Jake soon finds that he doesn’t want his grandmother to sell off the family property and he doesn’t want to run Trisha off either!


Jake turned into such a sweetheart once he decides that Trisha has his grandmother’s interest at heart. I loved how he steps in to be the honest hero that Trisha needs to heal her heart after her experience with her ex. Another huge plus for Jake was how he and Trisha’s son, Petey instantly bond! They are adorable! What woman can hold out from falling for a man who is that good with your child! Swoon worthy.


Since this was a new series, I loved getting to know the small town of Somerset Lake and some of the other characters that I am hoping will get their own HEA’s within the series. The friend group Trisha gets indoctrinated into are are great group of ladies, that will definitely have me coming back to see!



The Summer Cottage by Annie Rains is scheduled to release May 25th, 2021.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from Forever Grand Central Publishing through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
