4.75 stars Meet Me at the Lake is the latest release from Carley Fortune, and an absolute winner for me! I was immediately drawn into this story and could hardly put it down. I found it utterly engaging and what I wanted. Fern and Will meet early in their twenties when they are both trying to find their own path in life. Both are tasked with a heavy sense of obligation to family, but have aspirations of their own. They spend 24 hours together touring the town and there is a click of recognition, a spark that ignites unlike any before. But life takes them in different directions and they promise to meet up in one year. Fast-forward ten years, life has not been easy for either one, as is often the case, and they are thrust back into one another’s lives. After the unexpected death of Fern’s mother, she comes back home to take over the family resort, not her first choice, and in walks Will…a decade late. He’s there with the purpose of helping the resort thrive and get back on it’s financial feet, and though the two resurrect their relationship, Will is still battling his own demons. The two have a lot to sort through, but Will is slow to open up. In a way, this is a coming of age story. It’s about discovering what you really want and how to balance your own needs with those of others. The romance felt authentic and fraught with real life struggles. There is a weightiness to this story, and layers that make it feel realistic and believable. It’s a thoughtful, feel-good story, and though it’s steamier than I’d prefer, it’s beautifully heart-warming. I’ve loved both of this author’s books and look forward to whatever she writes next. (And you can’t beat her gorgeous covers!)

"Meet Me At The Lake is a charming, romantic summer read based upon second chances and missed connections. It is a very heart-warming and emotional read." ~nerdywordyreviews Fern Brookbanks never wanted to take over the family resort. She pushed that off years ago when she decided she wanted to stay and live her life in Toronto as she saw fit. However, the universe had different plans for her. Here she stands at her family resort in the Muskoka's trying to decide what to do. Does she continue her life in Toronto and sell the family resort, or stay and make it her own? Fern has lived most of her adult life reminiscing and wondering what could have been with Will Baxter. The one who got away ten years prior. While the Brookbanks resort has her full attention and the decisions need to be made a stranger from the past arrives at the resort. Fern is shocked, confused, and overwhelmed at seeing Will Baxter, in the flesh checking in. Will Fern get the answers she wanted from 10 years ago when her heart crumbled? This is the second Carley Fortune novel I have had the pleasure of reading and I LOVE her contemporary romance stories. They are so well written and descriptive that you can feel the emotion of the characters within the story. The timeline goes back and forth from the present to the past when Fern and Will originally met. Giving the reader a full view of their story. The back-and-forth transitions are smooth and easy for the reader to follow. Carley Fortune writes her books based in Canada which helps Canadian readers, or travelers put themselves into the character's locations. This is a beautiful novel about missed opportunities/relationships, and second-chance romance. Meet Me at the Lake was a nominee for Goodreads Best Romance 2023. Carley Fortune has a new novel "This Summer Will Be Different", set to release May 7, 2024. The setting will be on Prince Edward Island. Her first novel also based in Ontario is titled, "Every Summer After".
