Lakeside Cottage

By Susan Wiggs

Book Overview

If you trust your heart, you'll always know who you are...

Each summer, Kate Livingston returns to her family's lakeside cottage, a place of simple living and happy times--a place where she hopes her son, Aaron, can blossom. But her quiet life gets a bit more interesting with the arrival of a mysterious new neighbor, JD Harris.


JD has a good reason for being secretive. In a moment of sheer bravery, the Washington, D.C., paramedic prevented a terrible tragedy--and became a national hero. He's hardly able to remember who he was before the media frenzy...until he escapes to this lovely, remote part of the Northwest.


Now Kate and Aaron have rekindled the joy of small pleasures and peace, something JD thought he'd never have again. But how long will his blissful anonymity last before reality comes banging at his door?

I want to like it

I'm having a hard time getting into the story and maybe by the end of it I will have. I'm only 50 pages or so into it.

Perfect!

This book was a perfect blend of human emotion, true love, obstacles, and yes, even sex without being graphic but yet tender and full of emotion. I'm so happy to have discovered a new prolific writer!

Excellent reading!

This story had an interesting blend of drama, action and romance. I especially appreciated that the protagonists were in their late-30's and had mature ideas about responsibility towards family/children and about life's priorities, shaped by the experiences of their careers and other circumstances they've dealt with. It's admirable that the focus was on doing what was best for each of the children, and I was touched at the difference Kate made in Callie's life, and JD made in Aaron's. In the process, everyone's life was enriched and past wounds were able to heal.

Wonderful Story

I was introduced to Susan Wiggs book by a friend in a chat room. I've only read Lakeside Cottage and Horse Whisper's Daughter and I highly recommend them both. Susan does a wonderful job in giving us interesting "plots", and whats better than love? I highly recommend Susan's books.

Single Mom + hometown hero

A little more attentive reading reveals that the mullet is an illusion. How can you resist a single mom trying to make it on her own and a man who comes to know the price of fame? It's a heartfelt story you won't want to resist.
