Lucy Parsons wants absolutely nothing to do with the Westmoore family or the maple syrup they produce. When Sierra Westmoore blows back into town after her father's death and tries to rent a room at Lucy's family's bed-and-breakfast, The Maple Inn, Lucy kicks her out on the spot. It doesn't matter that Sierra hasn't set foot in Maple Run in fifteen years—the Westmoores are not allowed. But small towns don't leave a lot of room to hide, and Sierra and her brother, Drake, have set their sights on improving the town's opinion of them now that their father is gone.

Story
When Remy's grandmother dies, it means leaving her life in San Francisco and returning to a town she swore she'd never revisit, forced to confront a world she'd worked hard to put behind her over the last twelve years. She's not expecting that the first girl to ever steal her heart, the pretty, popular Fallon Lewis, is still around, and in a town this small, their paths continue to cross, much to Remy's dismay. It's hard enough seeing her first love, but it's exponentially more difficult when she can barely stand to look at the woman.

Caroline Parker knows three things to be true. First, she is going to be Boston's most sought-after divorce attorney by 35. Second, given how terrible her romantic track record is, falling in love isn't in the cards for her. And third, Christmas only brings her bad luck - being broken up with not once, not twice, but three times during the holidays is proof enough of that. When she runs into Hannah Dalton on Christmas Eve, she has no reason to believe her luck will change. After all, though Hannah is probably the most gorgeous woman she's ever seen, she's also straight.

Free-spirited and easygoing Taylor Vandenberg left her hometown of Faircombe, Tennessee, as soon as she could, and in the twenty-five years since, she has rarely looked back. She wouldn't change anything about how her life has turned out—having traveled to nearly every country, never staying anywhere long enough to feel stifled. Brooke Watson has known Taylor for her entire life, and lifelong knowledge means that Brooke knows she's trouble: irresponsible, takes nothing seriously, and irritatingly attractive.

Public Relations expert Emery Bates has exactly one problem she's willing to admit, and it's that she doesn't have a girlfriend to take as her date to a wedding. Not because she needs a girlfriend, but because she needs an easier way to come out to college friends she hasn't seen in five years. Her job is about controlling the narrative, and as she sees it, there's no reason why that can't extend to her personal life. When her ends up single a few weeks before the wedding, Emery realizes inviting Jordan along and faking romance for a week in Hawaii could be perfect for both of them.

Sutton Spencer's ideas for her life were fairly simple: finish graduate school and fall in love. It would be a lot simpler if she could pinpoint exactly what she should do when she graduates in less than a year. Oh, and if she could figure out how to talk to a woman without feeling like a total mess, that would be great, too. Charlotte Thompson is very much the opposite.

Publisher's Summary
Olivia Carver's life in Lake Cabot, New York, is simple. That's how she likes it, even if she can't stop the town she loves from being overrun by wealthy tourists each summer. When she's not working at her family's paddleboard shop or spending time with her lovable but infuriating brothers, she puts her energy into writing professionally, a dream that has yet to materialize.
Valerie Maycomb used to summer in Lake Cabot with her family when she was younger, until school and planning for her future became the driving forces in her existence. For the first time in years, following her college graduation, she's spending a few months in the small, lakeside town she loved as a child. All she wants is a little time to decompress before law school in the fall and maybe even strike up the courage to talk to a woman.
A chance meeting at the lake opens up the possibility of a summer romance, with the explicit understanding that it can't become something more. Olivia's not built for falling in love, and Val needs to keep her eye on the prize of a successful career. But neither of them can deny the attraction, and summer quickly takes on a life of its own.
Contains mature themes.

Love it!
It took me awhile to purchase...how would I relate as a 50-something to two 20-somethings falling in love? But it kept getting great reviews and I'm a sucker for a good story so I bought it. I'm sooo glad I did. Good story, good character development, good "follow your dreams" message. It really was hard to put down and I was sad when it ended; the mark of a good listen.

Flawless 💕
To begin with, this is not only a wonderful story of love and passion, between two people. It is not fluff that just connects romance a heat.
In truth I think it is insulting to simply categorize it by calling it just a work of lesbian romance.
The two lovers have real depth which the author tests by placing a multitude of realistic problems and obstacles before them. And, they deal with them in a manner that allows them slowly to be true to themselves. Watching them evolve is a pleasure.
Ms. McCallan also provides a wonderful cast of secondary charters who are not just props to move things along, but rather add real assistance to making this a story more than just a romance.
And I want to applaud the always reliable Ms. Prince for delivering her reliably stellar performance👍
I look forward to experiencing more work from this unbeatable pair.

Perfect Pairing..
I read the book and it was amazing, having Lori Prince do the audio was the perfect choice. The description really does sum up the book, not one for spoilers, with that said, looking for another great Lori Prince performance PLUS Monica McCallan writing, this one is right up your alley, HIIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Just my 2 cents. Hoping the rest of Ms. McCallan collection make their way to the audible world.

Very well written and a pleasure to read
The character development was wonderfully done, not just the main characters, but the secondary as well, the sage, the relatives, etc.
The lake, the bar, the bakery etc, settings were described in a fun, smooth way.
Sub plots fit perfectly and were entertaining.
I enjoyed her similes.
The reading was fantastic.
I would listen to another by this combination of writer/narrator.
My only very, very, very minor complaint is not just this one, but others in the romance genre . Do they have to not only find love, but hit the financial jackpot? If it’s real love, do they need find the good life or can’t the live in the life where they met and became happy.

Great story and phenomenal narration
Why can I imagine Lori Prince sitting at a dinner party and entertaining everyone with the voice of Mr Hutchinson? Monica McCallan has written a multi-dimensional story that invested me in the characters and made me cheer for them in the end. One of the best of many dozens of les-doc novels that I’ve listened to in the past year. Lori Prince brings it to life with her narration and her authentic voice. Well done.

Loved all the characters and the way it was written without confusion. When a book has several characters, there are times it gets convoluted, but Monica McCallan did a wonderful job in developing each one that let me get to know them, but nit lose sight of the story line and how they support this story! First book I’ve read of hers and I plan to look up more! Great listen to!!

A moving but ultimately sweet romance
I found this charming romance about two young women finding each other despite their very different situations moving and at times it brought me to tears. It is nicely written Monica McCallan - I will look out for more by her.
Lori Prince's narration style, which is best suited to romcoms, is mostly spot on. She enhances the story and brings the characters to life, although on the odd occasion her tone is slightly too flippant.
