By Your Side (Willowbrook Lake Book 1) by Ashley Erin

I absolutely loved this love story, losing the love of your life and being struck with a second chance. I read it in one sitting and could not put it down. It definitely pulled at the heartstrings and there were even a few tears as I made my way through the book. 

Adeline tragically loses her husband, Scott, and decides to move to Willowbrook Lake for a fresh start where his memory isn’t in everything she sees and does. She’s determined to fix up an old house, but it becomes quickly apparent that it’s more than she bargained for and won’t be able to tackle all the improvements herself. Adeline is initially forced to rely on Willowbrook Lake’s handyman, Owen. She hires Owen with the bargain that she will be able to assist with some of the repairs. Adeline and Owen spend their days together working on the house and feelings rapidly develop between the two. He knows that she’s still grieving the loss of her husband, but Adeline starts to have feelings for Owen. Will she be able to love again?

I can’t wait to read Willowbrook Lake Book 2 and hear more about Cameron and Raelynn’s story!
