Back Home at Firefly Lake

De: Jen Gilroy

Narrado por: Karissa Vacker

A heartwarming small-town romance that will make you believe in love and second chances.

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?

In the tradition of New York Times bestselling authors Susan Wiggs and RaeAnne Thayne comes an emotional story about finding love in the most unexpected of places from Jen Gilroy.

Back Home at Firefly Lake is my most favorite book

What did you love best about this story?

Everything!! Absolutely everything!! I’ve loved this series since the very beginning. What I love the most is the genuinity of the characters, the authenticity of their relationships with family, friends and significant others, and the different kind of situations that make every book of this series amazing.

Back Home at Firefly Lake is my most favorite book of the series. Cat and Luc’s story is heartwarming and romantic and beautiful.

This story has two kinds of new chances. Cat is a single mom who works really hard to give her daughter the best she can, and Luc is a widowed a former hockey player who is trying so hard to get back his life on track. I love how their stories collided and find what they wasn’t looking for in each other. <3

And of course, I always love children in books, and Amy, Cat’s daughter, is amazing.

What about Karissa Vacker’s performance did you like?

I loved that her voice and inflections matched the personalities of all the characters in this book, but what I loved the list about Karissa’s narration was that she pour her whole heart to make Cat’s emotions more real. There was a particular scene at the end of the book when I was on the edge of my sit, my heart was pounding and aching for Cat and Karissa made me feel more for Cat and everything that was happening.

Would you listen to Back Home at Firefly Lake again? Why?

I actually need to listen the audios of the first two books of the series and of course, repeat Back Home Firefly. I love this series and I’m happy to be able to repeat it on audio. <3

Any additional comments?

Sighhhhhh This book brings the HEA of the main characters from the first two books and I couldn’t be happier for them all. I wish there was more about this amazing group of people.
