Publisher's summary

Jasper Getty is living his dream as the owner of the charming bookshop, Lavender Pages. For seven years, he's enjoyed the safety and freedom to be himself, selling books by day and curling up and getting lost in novels by night. But a dark page from the past comes back to haunt Jasper as his ex begins stalking him.

Russell Wallace hit reset on his life in Nashville and became a bodyguard after decades of living according to family expectations. But even years later, he doesn't believe he deserves happiness. When Russell is asked to travel to the beautiful seaside town of Lavender Shores to protect a friend's brother, he expects nothing more than a job and a paycheck. But Lavender Shores reveals a world Russell never imagined, and his immediate attraction to the adorably geeky Jasper complicates an already difficult job.

Jolted by the memory of a shared moment and paths that crossed years ago intensifies the sparks into a bonfire of passion and hope. When danger comes pounding at the door, Jasper is in danger of losing his life...and his heart.

Yes! Another Lavender Love Story!

This story was different than the others. We don’t get to see many of our favorite Lavender residents, except at book club. And oh my was that funny. I laughed so many times during this one! As always Kirt Graves has the voice that I can’t seem to get enough of. He just brings Russel and Jaspers characters to life. Each voice so different. I love these books!

Interesting characters

Well written, great sex scenes, romantic, suspenseful, immediately engaging, lovable characters. What's not to love about an owner of a book store. Brilliant narrator.

Lavender Shores is Always Worth the Visit

An inauspicious beginning for a beautiful love affair, survivors finding new ways to stand up for themselves, and two trips to bath houses! Robert Kelly being Robert Kelly. What can I say? Another worthwhile trip! Kirt Graves continues to bring life to the residents of Lavender Shores... one of my all time favorite narrators.

Loved every second!

So I can honestly say I loved reading this book. Adding narration to my favorite book in the series and I was over the moon. I love the characters and the story. Simply stated- I will be listening to it again!

Such a damn good book!

By far this is the best one in the series. Sometimes the running and running from each other gets annoying; there was very little of that in this book. The majority of the issues the main characters had to deal with were not their doing, but external; with a few internal issues. Looking forward to the next 2.
