Berkeley moved to Cemetery to start over. She was not happy when she first saw Lawson, a boy from her past life. She was hoping to avoid him but in a small town that is just not possible…

The Love Shack is a cute read with a wonderful cast of characters. Individually, Berkley and Lawson, Lark and Oliver, moved to Cemetery, IN with the idea of making a fresh start with their lives. Betty Cemetery is the town matriarch, a force to be reckoned with but also someone with a heart of gold. And then there are the fabulous rescue animals Berkley takes care of in the town’s animal shelter, the Love Shack. All in all, this is a sweet story with some fun antics concerning the town’s “mascot”, Kathleen, some romance, and loveable animals!

This book was a blast to read; with its relatable, and highly likable, characters and animals you would love to run out and adopt. This summer love is in the air for Cemetery, Indiana's newest residents.
I read an advanced copy of this book

I'm so glad that I got to return to the town of Cemetery and the wonderful, crazy characters that live there. Including Kathleen. This time we get to meet Berkley, Lawson, Oliver and Lark. Berkley came to Cemetery to run The Love Shack, the town's new animal shelter, but also to live in anonymity after an embarrassing, public incident ten years earlier. Lawson grew up in the same neighborhood as Berkley in bad circumstances but escaped to better his life. Berkley wasn't happy to see Lawson because he knew about her embarrassing history but thanks to Hero and Cheese, they can't avoid each other for long. Berkley and Lawson needed each other to not only fully heal from their past, but to be each other's champion, friend and lover. Lark was a force of nature and no one can resist her, especially Oliver. This one tugged at my heartstrings, made me laugh out loud and smile with contentment, grab this one and enjoy!

The Love Shack was simply delightful and the shelter animals made the entire story even more endearing. With the tender loving care Berkley showered on her charges it was impossible for Lawson to resist falling in love with such a compassionate person. He succeeded in bringing her into the light and life she deserves. Betty, Kathleen, and the rest of the wacky Cemetery community embraced this young couple and enriched the town. I really enjoy how the author includes a side romance in her novels. I was rooting for love all around.

This was a fabulous addition to this series. I loved everything about it .It actually was two romances in one and the characters were wonderful. Berkley and lawson had a past and Lark and Oliver were strangers who clicked right away. With a little help from Betty and the town. Read this and know you will be sorry when it is over.

As Always Lori Foster Writes a book that you just can't put down until you have read it from cover to cover. I Didn't realize that this was a squeal to The Cemetery Series and was pleasantly surprised. It can also be read as a stand alone. It's not like you are left hanging wondering who previous character are, but it's a pleasant surprise when you get a short update.

I highly recommend reading this book. Of course I highly recommend reading any book written by Lori Foster.

The Love Shack is the latest release from Lori Foster. Set in Cemetery Indiana, the quintessential small-town America, this time around we get to know Berkley and Lawson.

Berkley and Lawson are from the same hometown and coincidentally move to Cemetery to start over after less than desirable beginnings. Neither is that thrilled to see the other in this new place they call home, but their shared pasts eventually help bring them to a place of understanding.

Berkley is escaping the death of her mother and a town that painted her the enemy. Lawson is escaping his drug involved so-called parents and the life he never wanted. Each has found a new way of life and new passions that fuel their desire to be better than where they came from.

Filled with fantastic secondary characters like Lark, Oliver and the matriarch of the town, Betty Cemetery, our return trip to Cemetery is filled with love, laughter, cuddly and mischievous animals and of course Kathleen shenanigans.

Fantastic new story to add to my Lori Foster collection, don’t wait to pick up a copy and get to know Cemetery.

I like reading this story about Lawson and Berkeley 's second chance love story. Both of them comes from troubled past and got a chance find a new life in small town of Cemetery. People there were so welcoming to them in their lives. That's why I love about same towns are caring ,loving, people . I also glad they found each other. I thank you Net galley for allowing me to read my first book by Lori Foster.

The Love Shack is a fun read. Berkeley and Lawton, and Lark and Oliver, have all moved to Cemetery in recent months. All are coming from troubled pasts they hope to move beyond, and each is looking to find a place to truly feel at home. In Cemetery, they find that and so much more! Between Betty, town matriarch who rules the roost, Kathleen, a mannequin who ends up all over town, and a shelter full of adorable dogs and cats, there are plenty of laughs, loads of emotion, and heart-warming entertainment.

Lots of shenanigans in Cemetery, Indiana, again. This time from a rescue dog, a thieving cat, and some newcomers looking for redemption and peace. This was such a fun story, nothing but pure pleasure reading!

I always enjoy books. by this author! Good hearted, beachy read that I really enjoyed reading- I couldn't put it down..The characters were likeable and very relatable. I truly enjoyed this book by Lori Foster the most! I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy a beachy read with a strong development of characters and an eye opening plot.

I love Lori Foster books because I always know I’m going to get a great story and characters that I root for. What I loved about this book was that the 2 main characters came from such hard backgrounds and they managed to survive their past tragic circumstances. The 2 secondary characters also dealt with difficult circumstances and came out stronger. Throw in some lovable animals and you get a real feel good story.

Berkley Carr thinks she has finally put her past to rest when she opens The Love Shack Animal Haven in the town of Cemetary. When she crosses paths with Lawson Salder her past comes back to haunt her. They came from the same neighborhood and both are trying to escape the past. But in Cemetary everyone is trying to matchmake and they are feeling an attraction to each other. Can they forget their past and embrace the love they deserve?

Berkley Carr has left her past behind and moved to Cemetery, Indiana, where she runs The Love Shack Animal Haven. She tries to keep to herself and is amazed when she runs into someone who also lived in the town she grew up in. What are the odds of something like that happening? Lawson Salder moved to Cemetery to escape from his childhood memories and poverty, also. Lawson is aware of the scandal surrounding Berkley but knows she isn’t to blame for the way she was treated. Now they find themselves being neighbors and soon becoming friends, in part due to Berkley’s cat, Cheese. The more time they spend together, the more they’re attracted to each other. But will their pasts push them apart or bring them together? If the town matchmakers have any say in the matter, the two will get together. And what will happen when a part of the past comes back to haunt Berkley?

Great characters, new friendships, new beginnings, and the best animal sidekicks in Hero and Cheese. I loved this story!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Lawson and Berkley may be my favorite couple from Lori Foster's books yet! One would say fate intervenes when two people who grew up in the same awful neighborhood, who both got our and found joy in the future with their careers, who had left the neighborhood years before, find themselves reunited nowhere near that horrible place. They both have found a place to settle, plant roots, and thrive in Cemetery. After the shock of seeing each other subsides, they quickly find themselves in the comfortable rhythm of neighbors, friends, and two souls with pasts that were connected. Soon the connection grows deeper and the past threatens to return. I loved this because it was such an amazingly tender story of two people, so clearly made for one another. Berkley, a big heart, inner strength and an intense love and loyalty for animals is such an admirable character. Her furry companion, Hero, makes you smile from the moment you meet him. Her thief of a cat, Cheese, has you in giggles with cat antics. Lawson, brawn and brains (here's to you, Betty) makes a swoony and fierce protector. Betty, Lark, Oliver, they're all soo wonderful! And fantastic nods to characters you've already met if you've visited Cemetery in the two prior books. Lastly, you need to meet Kathleen.

Read this one this summer, you won't regret it!

Thank you to Lori for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Berkley grew up in a rough neighborhood and left amid a scandal. She moves to Cemetery, Indiana and becomes director of The Love Shack Animal Haven. She doesn’t talk about her past and just wants to forget it. Until she runs into her neighbor.
Lawson grew up in the same neighborhood as Berkley. He would see the shy girl but never talked to her. Lawson got a job working disaster areas and never looked back. He wants to forget his past too so they avoid each other.
That gets hard for them to do because they are neighbors. They somehow keep getting thrown together. The more time they spend together, the deeper the feelings develop. Can they both let go of the past and be happy?
I hope this review is not too confusing. You’ve got two people not wanting a relationship but find one anyway. Sweet and protective dog. A thieving cat. And a mannequin that the whole town loves to move around. No explicit sex. Loved it.

cute small town romance. Chad was a little unneeded and I didn't feel he added much to the story but I really enjoyed it.

A wonderful return to the quirky town of Cemetery, Indiana!

Kathleen the mannequin is back and this time terrorizing Lawson Salder, a new resident of Cemetery who owns a t-shirt printing shop. He doesn’t know why Kathleen creeps him out so much but she does and she always seems to end up in front of his shop.

Berkley Carr is getting a fresh start in Cemetery after being painted in a bad light as a teenager. She is now the director of The Love Shack, a pet shelter and a project of love for both Berkley and Betty Cemetery, the matriarch of the town.

Berkley and Lawson come from the same old neighborhood which means Lawson knows of her past. Instead of judging her, Berkley finds Lawson is proud of who she has become.

This is a sweet romance with some quirky humor. Berkley is finally able to find her tribe and make friends that aren’t animals. We briefly see some of the characters from previous books and meet new people like Lark and Oliver who have their own romance starting in this book.

*I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader copy of this book.*

Both Berkley and Lawson knew each other in the distant past. Both have their reasons to start a new life in a small, tight knit community. Berkley wanted to forget the scandal that happened when she was young and innocent. The way forward was The Love Shack”, the animal rescue that she operated with the help of the town of Cemetery and its leader, Betty. Lawson had his own reasons to move to Cemetery but his protective streak never left him. This was an entertaining story and, of course, the animals were one of the main characters. Especially, Hero and Cheese! Hero who can sense feelings and Cheese who kept stealing Lawson’s things. Even Kathleen gets into the act! Another winner from Ms Foster!
