Description
Love is worth the risk...
When their grandfather dies,
the Lindquist sisters, Harper, Scarlet and Maggie, inherit the northern
Minnesota fishing lodge that had been in their family for three
generations. The inheritance is bittersweet. They were raised at the
lodge by their grandparents. The natural beauty of the place hasn’t
changed, but the building itself is crumbling and desperately in need of
repair. The lodge also reminds them of what they lost. Twenty-two years
previously, their parents died there in what was ruled a
murder/suicide.
As the sisters struggle to breathe new life into
the failing lodge, old fears and questions rise to the surface even as
new love presents itself. Why did their father murder their mother? What
truths did their grandparents keep from them? The sisters must fight to
keep the wounds of the past from putting their futures, and their
fledgling relationships, in jeopardy.
Lies and Solace
She can’t live with one more lie. He can’t tell the truth.
Harper
Lindquist is convinced she’s found the answer to her financial prayers.
Unless she pours cash into crumbling Solace Lake Lodge, she’ll lose her
family’s legacy. Her would-be savior arrives in the middle of a
Minnesota blizzard and she’s determined to prove to her reluctant, and
trapped, financier the lodge is a sound investment. But Harper isn’t
completely honest with him. And she has no idea the lake is hiding
secrets of its own.
Ethan James is a liar, but his money is very
real. He isn’t convinced a broken-down inn is a smart investment
opportunity. But the more he understands Harper’s dreams and desires,
the more he wants to be the man to make them come true. The trauma in
both their pasts means neither can fully trust the other. They must find
the courage to love, to trust, and to accept, or yesterday’s sorrows
will keep them apart.

Engaging bit of escapism. Winning the lottery. Inheriting a lodge. What could go wrong? While I did skip over the intimate scenes, the actual story keep me turning the pages. I even read the first chapter of the sequel included. I am eager to read more about Solace Lake and the sisters.

The romance of Harper and Ethan. Since Harper is the oldest of 3 sisters, this is the first in the series. When she decides to remodel her grandparents' lodge in central Minnesota, she looks for financial help. In steps Ethan, who puts himself out as the spokesman of the company (instead of the owner). Back and forth to reach an agreement, and then they begin working together. The three girls were raised by their maternal grandparents, after the death of their parents. The mystery of what actually happened is a back story of all three books, and ties the sisters together. Overall, a good story, and it did keep my interest. A bit more on why the holding back of Ethan's identity struck such a strong cord in Harper would have helped a bit, as she seemed a little harsh and extreme in her all or nothing attitude. Otherwise, I would recommend this book and author, and look forward to reading the next sister's story.

Lies and Solace is the first book in a new series titled, Love at Solace Lake by Jana Richards. It is also the first book I have read by this author. Overall it has a wholesome feel to the storyline but does include a few more explicit intimate scenes. It has likable characters who tend to overthink, but don’t we all?
The story-line includes charming sentimental renovation of a family lodge, mysterious deaths, secrets between the two main characters. I must admit that the relationships between the two groups of siblings were as interesting as the relationship that developed between Harper and Ethan. Harper and Ethan’s story sags in the middle but picked up by the end. The conclusion just goes to show that there are good people still in this world.
In fact, I am not sure which of Harper’s sisters that I hope gets the next book. Both Scarlet and Maggie are women with secrets of their own. However, what I am sure of is that I would want to read the next. Now that the groundwork for the series has been laid, this series should get even better

Too bad the whole book is not available. The excerpt makes it sound very interesting. I wish I could read the whole thing.

Lies and Solace is a well written novel. I enjoyed the plot and well crafted characters. A new author to me and I enjoyed her writing.

A really great start to the series. Harper is one of three sisters who was raised by their grandparent after the death of their parents. Now Harper is the only sister still in the rundown family lodge and she needs help to restore it and keep it up and running. That where Ethan comes into the picture but he is not sure the Inn is a good investment. This was a good read with plenty of twists and the mystery of their pasts I cannot wait for the next book.
