Review of Summer at Lake Haven by RaeAnne Thayne

-


        Sometimes, the weight of parental expectations can keep you from going after your dreams to the fullest extent. Summer at Lake Haven tells the story of Samantha Fremont. Samantha is finally free of her mother’s expectations and is setting out to start her own fashion design business. A perfect opportunity drops into her lap when she gets the opportunity to design her friend’s wedding dress. Samantha meets Ian, the bride’s charming, English (emphasis mine!) older brother and a friendship slowly grows into more. However, Samantha and Ian both have obstacles to face before they can take their friendship to the next level.
