A caterer who’s been burned by love. An artist who’s withdrawn from the world. A property battle that just might heal them both.
When struggling caterer Tess Palmer inherits her great-aunt’s home at Sunset Lake, Missouri, she thinks she’s found the way to save her business. Selling the property can provide just the infusion of capital she needs to pay off her debts and move to a larger commercial kitchen.
Wildlife painter Jack Hamlin, who lives across Sunset Lake, wants the area kept exactly as it is—a place where waterfowl can thrive and where he can find peace and solitude to ease his troubled heart. Although he’s drawn to Tess’s honesty and beauty, he’s appalled to learn she would welcome a deal with a developer, and he vows to stop her.
As Tess discovers the reasons why Jack is so passionate about protecting the lake, she finds him more and more attractive. She takes a tentative step past her own emotional pain to risk her heart again. But there seems to be no solution to the impasse over the property. As a sale becomes imminent, can Jack and Tess trust God—and each other—and finally find a love that will last?
“Love at Sunset Lake” is a stand-alone contemporary Christian romance novel and is part of the Abundance Series by Sally Bayless. If you like a heartwarming love story with a touch of humor and characters with real-world problems, you’ll love this sweet story.
Paula Marie, thank you so much for your lovely review! You are very kind!
I wanted to mention that if anyone notices this book has a prequel (Love, Lies, and Homemade Pie) and wants to read it first, I’d recommend you wait until tomorrow to get it. A little bird tells me that ebook of the prequel will be free this weekend. 😊 My books are each complete stories and the prequel takes places 30 years earlier, but some people like things chronologically.
That is wonderful, Sally, thank you so much! I just placed in my wish lit to get over the weekend! I love surprises!
This book sounds awesome. My favorite ice cream flavor is Moose Tracks or Rocky Road.
Hi, Barbara! Thank you for dropping by this morning! My hubs loves Moose Tracks too!
Thanks for your kind words, Barbara. And Rocky Road–yum!!
You are a new author for me. I love reading Christian books and would love to win this book. I love cookie dough ice cream. Thanks for the chance
Thank you for sharing, Nancy! I love find new authors too!
Good luck in the giveaway, Nancy. Just thinking of cookie dough ice cream is making me hungry!
This book sounds like a great read, one I would carry with me so when I had a few moments, I could indulge. I am an ice cream lover, and I like so many different flavors but have a special fondness for coffee ice cream which my grandpa fed to me as a baby.
mmm, yes, I adore coffee ice cream too, Roxanne, but what a lovely memory for you to have with it! Thank you for sharing!
I agree, Roxanne–it is hard to pick a favorite flavor. If there’s homemade peach ice cream around, that’s my choice!
I already have this book on my Kindle so am not really entering to win a copy. I read the description prior to getting the book, but Paula your review lit a fire in me to pull this book out of my TBR pile and put it on top!
Oh, Erica, you are so sweet! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Hi Erica! Hope you enjoy the book!
My favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla. Thanks for the opportunity to enter a giveaway! Would love to win a print copy!
One can never go wrong with vanilla, Lual! Appreciate you dropping by!
That’s on my grocery list for later today, Lual! Good with so many things and wonderful on its own!
My favorite ice cream flavor is butter pecan.
Hello, Sonnetta! I used to love butter pecan, but nuts are no longer my friend, lol! Thank you for participating!
Hi Sonnetta,
I’ll take a scoop of butter pecan!
Sally
Chocolate chip but since I’m trying to be good and not eat what I’m not suppose to. I’m trying to stay away from it.
Aw, Kim, sorry to prompt the cravings that way……thank you for sharing and I will keep you in my prayers!
Good for you for eating healthy, Kim! Sometimes when I want ice cream and I’m trying to be good, I make a smoothie from fresh peaches, a banana, fat free plain frozen yogurt, and a little skim milk. I’ll split my creation with my husband and even he likes it!
Looks like a wonderful story. Look forward to checking it out.
I hope you enjoy, Cindy!
Thanks, Cindy! I hope you like it!
I like cookie dough ice cream or chocolate chip the best.
They both sound wonderful to me, Lori! How about a scoop of each on a sugar cone?
This sounds soooo good!! It’s in my TBR stack!! I just need to find the time to read it!!
Hi Trudy! I hope you enjoy the story! If only we had about four hours every day just to read…
My favorite flavor of ice cream in dark chocolate.
YUM!! You’ve got great taste, Patricia! I love dark chocolate!!
I love dark chocolate too, Patricia! Thanks for stopping by!
My favorite ice cream is butter pecan. But I think I could eat almost any ice cream.
Love it, Dorothy! Thank you for dropping by!
Dorothy, we must be kindred spirits because although there are couple flavors that aren’t at the top of my list, I think all ice cream is good ice cream!
Hi, your book sounds like a real good book and the cover is Beautiful! My favorite flavor of ice cream is Peach! God Bless you.
Oh, I love anything peach, Alicia! I appreciate your sharing with us today!
