by Jill Shalvis

'Perfect, feel-good fiction' Sarah Morgan

'Full of Shalvis' signature verve and wit; it touches on sisterhood and forgiveness while also serving up plenty of romance. The perfect beach read for any romance reader' Booklist

The heartwarming new novel from New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis. The Lemon Sisters is a story of friendship, love and family, where two completely opposite sisters - who are still nursing wounds from the past - realize they need each other more than they think. For fans of Susan Mallery, Kristan Higgins and Robyn Carr.

When life gives you lemons...

Brooke Lemon has always led the life she wanted, wild adventures - and mistakes - included, a fact that her perfect sister Mindy never understood. So when Mindy shows up on Brooke's doorstep in the throes of a breakdown with her three little kids in tow, asking to switch lives with Brooke, she's shocked.

Wanting to make amends, and find a way back to being sisters, Brooke agrees to trade places with Mindy for a few days so she can put herself back together...without admitting she's just as broken. Her sister needs her though, so she takes the kids and returns to Wildstone. But how do you face home - and the man you left behind - after seven years away?

The Lemon sisters are about to learn you can't outrun your demons - but if they can overcome their differences they might realise that the one person who can help them the most is the one they never thought to ask.

Jill Shalvis. Delightfully addictive.

My Review Of


The Lemon Sisters



The Lemon sisters are having a difficult time in their lives when both of them enter into each other worlds for a few days.

This is the first book that I have read in this series but this book can be read as a standalone. I  loved these characters, setting and storyline  so much that I will go back and devour the other two books.
Brooke works on making travel movies but has had an injury and is suffering from some PTSD and no longer is as adventurous as she once was. Mindy is just burnt out from raising three young children, running a business and worrying that her Doctor husband is no longer interested in her and having an affair with the nanny.

We go back in forth in the book between the two sisters as they are experiencing each others lives. I think that Brooke is hilarious the way that she deals with her niece and nephews and I had to laugh out loud a few times at her solution for various things like potty training. Mindy is just an over the top anxious control freak but I can hardly blame her as her husband Linc is never home and has put his career and friends before his family.

It also turns out that Brooke's once love interest Garrett is living next door and there is still some sizzling hot chemistry between Brooke and Garrett, not to mention unresolved issues that both of them need to work on. In fact both couple, Mindy and Linc as well, need to has=h out their issues and misunderstandings in order to move on.

I enjoyed meeting these characters and visiting this picturesque town that I could definitely visit. The animals have their own personalities and are a big part of this story as well.

I look forward to going back and reading the previous books in this series as well as looking forward to book number four.This review was originally posted on Fictional Reviewer
