Audiobook
Publisher’s Synopsis:
Leslie Baker, owner of Potter Lake’s hometown beauty shop, has a muscular, handsome, 6’4″ problem.
Her college sweetheart, former basketball superstar Kade “KC” Cavanaugh, is back in Potter Lake after his NBA retirement and the slick and shiny co-ed salon he’s recently opened directly competes with the Curl & Dye.
Before they can pick up where they left off fifteen years ago, Leslie and KC find themselves at the center of a power struggle between a corrupt Mayor and a town that wants to grow.
With their livelihoods and the future of the close-knit, lakeside community at stake, they have no choice but to join forces to save the town of Potter Lake… and fan the flames of a love that’s been smoldering for more than a decade.
Point of view:
1st person. Alternating between KC & Leslie’s perspectives.
Rellim’s Thoughts:
My final book of 2021 and it was wonderful. This is my first experience with DL White, but won’t be my last. I loved this audio – second chance romance, small town, and absolutely hilarious. It takes a little bit for Leslie to get over her past hurts from her college more-than-just-friends, KC. But once they team up against a corrupt mayor and sparks fly it is hot. I love that relationship-wise, these two were pretty low angst. Most of the drama comes from responding to changes to their small town and doing what’s right for the folks of Potter Lake. The banter between all the friends is exactly what you’d expect from people who’ve known each other their whole lives.
It’s a fantastic HEA – and a super cute and sexy epilogue. (I love epilogues!)
As soon as I finished, I bought the rest of the series. Up next, Second Time Around.
Narration:
I loved Sharell Palmer’s narration. She did a great job of giving all the characters their own unique voice and personalities. She’s a great fit for White’s writing and I’m looking forward to hearing more from both of them.
