About this ebook

This summer at Lake Bittersweet is going to be a scorcher...

Firefighter Jason Mosedale doesn’t take anything seriously except fires—not even himself. With his lighthearted approach to everything from dating to raising his teenage sister, he loves his life just how it is. But if he wants to catch the attention of gorgeous Kendra, he’s going to have to break out of his comfort zone and prove that he’s more than the charming town heartthrob.

Kendra Carter has always been an overachiever, which is why losing her business and her boyfriend in one swoop was so soul crushing. Now she’s back home in good old Lake Bittersweet, running her father’s restaurant and licking her wounds. If she isn’t the big success everyone expects, who is she? Maybe what she needs is a sexy distraction in the form of a gorgeous fireman--even if she could never take Jason seriously.

So what if they’re both on the rebound? As long as they agree it’s just for now, not forever, no one will get hurt.

Between toxic exes, heroic rescues, and a teenager’s secret, who has time for romance anyway? But that’s the thing about a rebound...you never know where it’s going to end up.

Ratings and reviews

This is the 5th book in the Lake Bittersweet series featuring the wonderful friends to lovers romance between Jason and Kendra. We're back in the charming town of Lake Bittersweet, MN now that Kendra has returned to her hometown to lick her wounds after a painful betrayal and to help her dad run his restaurant. Jason and Kendra knew each other in high school and with both of them coming off of a break-up their friends think that they need a rebound so that they both can move forward they don't have to think twice about it they do it. What was supposed to be just a fling looks like it could be the best thing to ever happen to the two of them. I don't want to say anymore and ruin it for anyone else with spoilers. You really need to read this wonderful friends to lovers romance to see what happens. I would definitely recommend reading this book. I voluntarily received a review copy of this book.

After losing her business and her boyfriend Kendra heads home to Lake Bitter-sweet, where she meets firefighter Jason. Wow these two really got it going on. Their chemistry is off the charts and so sweet at times. Jason has a reputation for not taking things seriously enough at times, and Kendra is aware of that which puts up a barrier before they even start. So lots of push pull in the relationship to they get their act together. Well written, quite fun at times and great characters, a truly a delight to read. Well done!!

In the fifth book in the Lake Bittersweet series, we get Kendra and Jason’s story. They’ve both just got out of relationships, so they agree to see what happens, not expecting it to lead anywhere. Kendra and Jason are opposites, but they complement each other perfectly. I loved getting to catch up with previous characters and I’m really looking forward to reading Galen’s story. Holly, Jason’s sister was quite a character and such a caring friend. Grab your copy and see what happens in this
