Description
When he lands in the emergency room after collapsing at the funeral of a colleague and friend, Wall Street hotshot Gabriel Mannion initially rejects the diagnosis of an anxiety attack. But when warned that if he doesn’t change his adrenaline-fueled, workaholic lifestyle he could end up like his friend, Gabe reluctantly returns to his hometown of Honeymoon Harbor to regroup.
As he adjusts to the sight of mountains instead of skyscrapers, Gabe discovers advantages to this small Pacific Northwest town he once couldn’t wait to escape. But it’s irresistible librarian Chelsea Prescott who, along with the two foster children she’s taken under her wing, makes slowing down seem like the best prescription ever.
Over the course of their summer romance, Gabe gets a taste of the life he might have had if he’d taken a different path. But with his return to New York City looming on the horizon, he’ll have to choose between the success he’s worked tirelessly for and a ready-made family who offers a very different, richly rewarding future…if he’ll only take the risk.
Don’t miss Second Chance Spring, JoAnn Ross’s much-anticipated return to Honeymoon Harbor where the majestic scenery of this small coastal town is second only to the legendary romances that have built the community.

Good story. Entertaining and endearing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Summer is a perfect time to snuggle up in the air conditioning with a lovely romance that will warm your heart. Set in Honeymoon Harbor, a small town with a big heart, this one is a great choice.
Written in a women's fiction manner, this book is a sweet story that is both entertaining and very endearing. I love the character pairing and development. These two just felt right together.
Gabe is a driven man that realizes he has to slow down and finding a summer fling wasn't really what he had on his mind, but he is not opposed to it either.
Chelsea is a great match up. I have to say her character surprised me a few times. With librarian characters they are usually depicted as introverts and sometimes quite odd people. In this story, she is anything but these.
While we do see some of the other people from the other books in the series, I don't think it is a requirement to read the others first. This book was self contained in many ways and easy to follow.
Summer on Mirror Lake by JoAnn Ross is a well written taste of Americana set in a small town that leaves you with a beautiful feeling and a smile on your face.

Another wonderful story. So much fun to read the story of another one of the group. Even though I knew it would be a story with a happy ending I loved how the characters "figured it out". JoAnn Ross is a great writer.

This was such a fun story! I loved the characters and enjoyed the story line. I thought it was well written and I loved the setting. Though I must admit I live in a small town on the Olympic Peninsula and although I’m pretty sure its not actually based on Gig Harbor (Where I live) it was close enough to have fun comparing! I also loved all the Pacific Northwest mentions, which served to endear the book to me even more! Overall I had a great time reading this and am looking forward to the next one!
