The True Love Bookshop

Somerset Lake, Book 3

by Annie Rains

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Love and books go hand in hand in this romance!

Tess doesn’t need love anymore, she had it and lost it (widowed) and now she’s content to find her romance in the pages of a good book!

But when her deceased husbands former best friend, River stumbles into her book shelf, it’s more than the past he’s bringing with him, he’s makes Tess feel things she hasn’t in a long time!

I’m a STAN for Annie Rains comfy small town romance and this one hit in all the right places! Tess’s emotional roller coaster of loss, betrayal, second chances and new beginnings is totally on brand and had me immersed in her journey and the daily life of Somerset Lake!

River was the perfect heart on his sleeve good guy/ loner hero that you can’t help fall for and root for as he works on repairing his reputation and being the friend that Tess needs.

I loved Tess and River together, but I also loved seeing the other Somerset Lake residents and their hijinxs and camaraderie.

This bookstore visit was a true delight!

I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me! ...
