Description
"[A] satisfying page-turner, complete with adorable animals and an idyllic summer setting."—Publishers Weekly on The Summer of No Attachments
Summer flings with no strings mean nobody gets hurt.
At least, that was the plan...

After putting the brakes on her dead-end relationship, local veterinarian Ivey Anders is ready to soak up this summer on her own terms. The way she sees it, no dating means no disappointment. Why complicate life with anything long-term? But when she meets Corbin Meyer—and his troubled young son, Justin—Ivey's no-strings strategy threatens to unravel before she can put it into practice.
Trust doesn't come easy for Ivey's best friend, Hope Mage, a veterinary-clinic assistant who's affected by an incident that's colored every relationship she's had. Though Hope's happy for Ivey, she can't quite open her own heart to the possibility of love. Not just yet... Maybe not ever. Soon, however, she's faced with a dilemma—Corbin's older brother, Lang. He's charming, he's kind...and he may just be the reason Hope needs to finally tear down her walls.
And as the sweet summer months unspool, the two friends discover love won't give up on them so easily.
Don't miss The Little Flower Shop, an all new heartwarming summer read from New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster about a 40-something florist who, with the help of her meddling small town, gets a second chance at life and love.

          April 19, 2021
          Love arrives when it’s least expected in this cute romp from Foster (The Somerset Girls), which centers on Sunset, Ky., veterinarian Ivey Anders and her close friend and vet tech, Hope Mage. Ivey has recently ended a bad relationship, and while she’s not ready for more commitment, she’s also not opposed to a fling—but she never anticipated attractive single father Corbin Meyer. Corbin has only recently taken in Justin, the 10-year-old son he never knew he had, after Justin’s mother, a high school ex of Corbin’s who struggles with drug addiction, abandoned the boy. So while Corbin may not exactly be fling material, his chemistry with Ivey is undeniable and their genuine connection outweighs Ivey’s reluctance to embark on a new relationship. Meanwhile, Hope develops feelings for Corbin’s brother, Lang, but struggles with traumatic memories of a brutal attack that left her distrustful of men. Lang, however, proves he is more than willing to be careful with her heart. The strong female protagonists and their sweet friendship enhance the romance as both Ivey and Hope learn to embrace new love. The result is a satisfying page-turner, complete with adorable animals and an idyllic summer setting. Agent: Steven J. Axelrod, the Axelrod Agency.

          In the second installment in Foster's "Summer Friends" series (after The Somerset Girls), Corbin moves with his ten-year-old son Justin to veterinarian Ivey's small town by the lake. Still reeling from learning only recently about the existence of his son, Corbin is looking to set down roots, while Ivey, tired of always playing it safe, is looking for a fun summer fling. Ivey adores Justin's sweet demeanor with all creatures great and small and beings to realize that her feelings for his dad may be a little more serious than she first considered. When Corbin's brother Lang moves in to help out, he begins to romance Ivey's friend Hope, and all soon discover that they may have just found what they have been missing. VERDICT The perfect summer read has memorable characters and heartfelt family drama. Fans of Foster and new readers alike will be pleased with her latest offering.
