When life took an unexpected turn, I decided to get out of New York for a while. What better place to go than the idyllic small town my father spoke about so fondly when I was growing up? Laurel Lake held the title America’s Friendliest Town for seventeen years running, and friendly was just what I needed right now.
Unfortunately, friendly wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived.
Instead, I got Fox Cassidy. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello.
Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met. And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was staying in after the key broke off in the lock. But still…he didn’t have to be so grumpy.
As time went on though, I started to notice things about Fox other than his glares. Like how he watched me when he thought I wasn’t looking, or how fire ignited in his eyes whenever we bickered. Though I was in Laurel Lake to escape my problems, not create new ones. And getting involved with a man like Fox screamed trouble, even if he was gorgeous and unlike any man I’d ever met.
But alas, problem seemed to be my middle name this year. So why not have some fun while I was here for the summer? It seemed like a good plan. At least until it was time to go home…
They say what happens at the lake, stays at the lake. But it’s not so easy to walk away when what stays behind…is your heart.

REVIEW:
As always, Vi Keeland delivered another book that captivated my attention. I could not put the book down and devoured What Happens at the Lake in one sitting. Josie was a breath of fresh air and when she arrived in the small town of Laurel Lake, Fox Cassidy was thrown for a loop.
From the moment Fox laid eyes on Josie, he knew he needed to keep his distance and stay away from her. Despite knowing he isn't good for Josie, he always finds himself in her presence.
When tempers flare, sparks will fly, especially when they agree to enjoy this temporary arrangement between the two of them.
Will they develop feelings for each other?
Can they enjoy a no-strings-attached relationship?
Will one of them want more than the other is willing to give?
Will what happens at the lake, stay at the lake?
This small-town romance is a MUST READ. I can never get enough of Vi Keeland's books. I know going in, I will always fall hard for her heroes, even when they are a broody SOB like Fox Cassidy. Beneath Fox's hard exterior, lay a man with a heart of gold that just needed the right person to love him.
