She has a million reasons to leave. Can he give her the one she needs to stay?

Cat McGuire’s return to Firefly Lake is turning into much more than she bargained for. Sure, she missed the crisp pine-scented air and the comfort of having her family around her. But being home makes her feel less like the successful single mom she is–and more like the awkward teen who never fit in. It doesn’t help that hockey-pro Luc Simard is back in town, too. Luc was her childhood crush, the hometown hero who never noticed her, and yet somehow he still makes her heart skip a beat.

Luc’s homecoming has been bittersweet. He’s lost his wife and his career, but there’s no better place to start over than Firefly Lake. Coaching the local kids’ hockey team makes him feel alive again, and he thinks his life is complete–until Cat arrives. The shy girl he always wanted to protect is now the gorgeous woman who’s stealing his heart and making him believe in second chances. But how can he convince Cat that Firefly Lake is where she truly belongs?

After reading Summer on Firefly Lake I was ready to dig into Cat and Luc's story. Jen Gilroy did not disappoint. Once again, I was swept away in the adventures of Firefly Lake. I can relate to Cat being a fierce momma bear myself. She will give and give yet expect nothing in return. Her humor  Her and Luc's attraction is undeniable. Cat doesn't want rumors to spread throughout their tiny town and have it affect Amy, her daughter. Luc doesn't want to love again but he can't seem to stay away from Cat.  He's caring and will go above and beyond for anyone who needs help. He's definitely a swoonworthy leading man. There was definitely a bit of angst in the story and it was written well. The secondary characters rounded out the story perfectly. 

If you enjoy that will have your heart wrenching one moment and heart warming in the long run this is the perfect story for you. I'm ready for the next book in the Firefly Lake Series.




Jen Gilroy lives in a small town in eastern Ontario, Canada where her Irish ancestors settled in the nineteenth century. She's worked in higher education and international marketing but, after spending too much time in airports and away from her family, traded the 9-5 to write romantic women’s fiction to bring readers' hearts home.

Jen likes ice cream, diners, vintage style and all things country. Her husband is her real-life romance hero, and her teen daughter teaches her to cherish the blessings in the everyday.

The Cottage at Firefly Lake, the first book in her Firefly Lake series, was a finalist for Romance Writers of America’s Golden Heart® award in 2015. It was also shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists’ Association Joan Hessayon Award 2017.
