Lovely Contemporary Romance

Amy Clipston is a beloved author of Amish fiction but this book demonstrates just how versatile her writing skills are. The Heart of Splendid Lake is a contemporary romance that grabbed my heart and wouldn't let go! I loved meeting the Porter family who live in the magical town of Splendid Lake, North Carolina, and I'm convinced that I would absolutely fit in. From finding the latest best-seller at the Bookend, going to a movie at the Warner, or grabbing a special coffee at the Coffee Bean, this could be a place that I would like to call home. I might even find romance on the shores of Splendid Lake! This story, however, isn't all light and fluffy romance. There are some heavy moments that involve death, grief, and the decisions that must be made after losing a loved one. I could understand Brianna wanting to hold on to the past, and I sympathized with the uncertainties in both her professional and personal life. Should she honor what had been, or accept that change can be good? Does her future include a love from her past, or is there a deeper love with someone new? The Heart of Splendid Lake is a heartwarming story about family, faith, and hope, and the characters and setting make it especially appealing. I recommend it to all who enjoy contemporary romance. I received a copy of this book from the author. There was no obligation for a favorable review. These are my own thoughts.

Excellent contemporary fiction

Checking my blog for this author, I counted 28 reviews for her. But this was the first non-Amish book that I found. And she did a fantastic job! This is a contemporary romance set in North Carolina. The story revolves around Brianna who struggles with her father's recent passing and a resort that is in the red. The book is well developed and the author has woven an exquisite story of love, loss, family and friends, along with real-life struggles and joys. It was a very different book than any of the other books I have read from this author. I really loved it and found it to be excellent and totally enjoyable. I received an ebook copy from NetGalley. All thoughts are my own.

Loved this Contemporary Romance

The Heart of Splendid Lake by Amy Clipston The Porter Family owns and operates a lakeside resort. Brianna is the youngest of the three Porter sisters and the only one who chose to stay and follow in her father's footsteps. When tragedy strikes the Porter family, Brianna struggles to keep the resort afloat. Brianna is faced with fending off the constant flow of real estate brokers wanting to snatch up their prime acreage – including real estate mogul Scott Gibson. Brianna deals with grief and guilt while cleaning up the mess left behind by her father, along with health battles her mother faces. As Brianna struggles to keep it all together, Scott finds his way into her heart. As the two fight against their feelings for each other, they work to save the resort on Splendid Lake. The Heart of Splendid Lake is a standalone novel that is a sweet and thoughtful contemporary romance by Amy Clipston was refreshing. The characters came alive, and I felt as though I were right by Brianna's side through the good times as well as the bad.
