Today, today, today is the debut of WE’LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS by Jennifer Coburn. Back in 2013, Jennifer emailed me about the possibility of reading WE’LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS and between the title, the cover and just the premise- I was sold. Look for my review to post this week, but for today, this is Jen’s show! Jennifer wrote a wonderful guest post from hers and Katie’s point of view about their favorite memories (and included some aww-inducing pictures!)

Lost Lake
Suley, Georgia, is home to Lost Lake Cottages and not much else. Which is why it’s the perfect place for newly-widowed Kate and her eccentric eight-year-old daughter Devin to heal. Kate spent one memorable childhood summer at Lost Lake, had her first almost-kiss at Lost Lake, and met a boy named Wes at Lost Lake. It was a place for dreaming. But Kate doesn’t believe in dreams anymore, and her Aunt Eby, Lost Lake’s owner, wants to sell the place and move on. Lost Lake’s magic is gone. As Kate discovers that time has a way of standing still at Lost Lake can she bring the cottages—and her heart—back to life? Because sometimes the things you love have a funny way of turning up again. And sometimes you never even know they were lost . . . until they are found.
