The small town of White Oak Lake, Louisiana, is home to a group of colorful characters, three of whom take their Cupid duties seriously. Their pet project is Jaclyn Wyatt, a single mother who, in their opinion, needs a little help in the romance department. Jaclyn doesn't agree, but the trio secretly springs into action when a newcomer arrives.

Morgan Chassion retreated to White Oak Lake to mentally and emotionally recover from losing her father, being dumped by her girlfriend, and the final insult, losing her job. The past few months have not been kind and solace is what she needs, but complication is what she gets.

Love's potion is being brewed in White Oak Lake. The recipe is simple, two lonely hearts, a little time, and a dash of vulnerability. Add a little heat and the potion is complete.

Contains mature themes.

I laughed out loud on the street listening to this book! A must read, great for the holidays too as it has some Xmass storyparts as well. I cannot recommend it enough, it will lift your spirits high up for sure!

I ended up enjoying this quite a bit and I’m pleasantly surprised. This is the first book that I’ve finished by Robin Alexander, but it’s the second one that I’ve tried. I gave up on listening to the audiobook for Temporary Girl months ago because of all these transphobic comments that kept coming up from the characters. (Constantly talking about each other’s genitalia, queer women being very “ew penis” and gay men being very “ew vagina” like… so much. They were all in their damn forties for gods sake and they did not shut up about it and it got old very fast). So I had not bothered to pick up another title by this author despite loving Lori Prince as a narrator and knowing she’s done a few of these titles. I’m really glad that I gave her another try, because this was a totally different experience. (Despite one comment that felt very offhandedly slut shamey to a teenage girl that rubbed me very much the wrong way, but was in the middle of an otherwise good conversation in the plot).

I’m not trying to harp on negative stuff though, because this was a lot of fun. The cast of characters in the town were charming and quirky enough that they felt lovable and not annoying. Betsy and Clarice in particular were my favorites. I loved that Austin actually felt like a fourteen year old boy, and he was utterly lovable and really reminded me of my younger cousin, insane height and appetite and all. Both MCs were fleshed out and their dynamic was lovely. Despite this covering a span of a few months, the progression of their relationship from neighbors, to friends, to something more, to something solid was great pacing, at least for me. I’m glad that I ended up enjoying this and I’m definitely going to give some of the other titles a try now.
