Lavender Hill

by Aurora Rose Reynolds

From New York Times bestselling author Aurora Rose Reynolds comes a heartwarming small-town romance about a woman returning to the roots that shaped her—and finding a love that will heal her.

Genevieve Fenwick has her life together—until her fiancé’s betrayal tears their future apart. Now, heartbroken and unsure of what’s next, she looks for comfort where it all Gooseberry Ridge, the quaint and still-welcoming hometown she left behind.

Genevieve’s heartache is soon displaced by family drama, eccentric neighbors, and a loveable search-and-rescue dog. Not to mention scandalous thoughts about deputy sheriff Wyatt Foster. But while Wyatt is ruggedly handsome, loyal, and protective (everything her fiancé wasn’t), Genevieve’s still hurting. No amount of chemistry can change that.

And yet, as her meddling, matchmaking mother and tight-knit Montana home keep pushing her and Wyatt together, Genevieve realizes there’s more than just a spark there. The charge burns brighter with every run-in, every word, every layer exposing the softness beneath his strength.

Wyatt has something Genevieve wants. Something she needs. And though her best-laid plans lie in ruins, he might be the best shot she’s ever taken.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lavender Hill is everything I love about an Aurora Rose Reynolds romance and the perfect start to what promises to be an amazing new series.

After having her world turned upside down by betrayal, Genevieve returns to Gooseberry Ridge to heal and figure out what comes next. What follows is a heartwarming story filled with romance, friendship, family drama, small-town charm, and just the right touch of mystery.

I absolutely adored Genevieve. She felt relatable, strong, and genuine as she navigated heartbreak and tried to rebuild her life. Wyatt Foster was the perfect hero—protective, dependable, and completely swoon-worthy. The chemistry between them was undeniable from the start, but what I loved most was how naturally their relationship developed.

The supporting cast added so much warmth and personality to the story, and the lovable search-and-rescue dog Storm was an added bonus. Gooseberry Ridge itself felt like a character, with its close-knit community, quirky residents, and matchmaking antics that had me smiling throughout.

Aurora Rose Reynolds delivered all the feels with this one. I laughed, smiled, swooned, and found myself completely invested in Genevieve and Wyatt's journey. If you're looking for a heartfelt small-town romance with wonderful characters, emotional depth, a touch of mystery, and a hero you'll fall head over heels for, Lavender Hill is a must-read.

I cannot wait for the next book in this series!

Lavender Hill pulled me in from the very first chapter and never let go. Aurora Rose Reynolds has a way of creating romances that feel comforting, emotional, and impossible to put down, and this story delivered all of that and more.

Genevieve's return to Gooseberry Ridge comes after a painful chapter in her life, and watching her find her footing again was incredibly rewarding. She's resilient, lovable, and easy to root for. Then there's Wyatt—steady, caring, and exactly the kind of hero who makes your heart melt. From their first interaction, there was a natural connection between them that felt effortless and genuine.

What made this book stand out for me was the sense of community. Gooseberry Ridge is full of memorable characters who bring humor, warmth, and a little bit of chaos to the story. The friendships, family dynamics, and small-town atmosphere added so much depth, making it feel like a place I'd happily visit again.

The romance was sweet, heartfelt, and filled with those moments that leave you smiling. Add in a light mystery, a lovable dog, and plenty of emotional growth, and it became the perfect escape. Lavender Hill is a charming, feel-good romance that reminds you sometimes the best things come when life takes an unexpected turn.

I finished this book with a huge smile on my face and can't wait to see where this series goes next.

Genevieve Fenwick pensaba que su vida era perfecta hasta que su prometido la engaña y se ve obliga a regresar al pueblo que dejó atrás años atrás. Sin trabajo, sin planes y con la confianza por los suelos, instalarse de nuevo en Gooseberry Ridge parece ser su única opción para empezar de nuevo.

Lo último que espera es conocer a Wyatt Foster, un hombre reservado que está decidido a comprar una antigua propiedad conocida como Lavender Hill. Lo que comienza como una relación profesional pronto se complica cuando el misterioso encanto de la casa, los secretos que rodean su pasado y la innegable atracción que surge entre ellos empiezan a alterar todos sus planes.

Fue una lectura entretenida y rápida de leer. Me senté a leerlo y cuando me di cuenta ya me faltaba un capítulo para terminarlo.

Genevieve and Wyatt’s story was such an enjoyable, quick read. Their chemistry was strong from their first meeting and I loved how their relationship developed. Both fantastic main characters that were great individually but even better together. Storm was a brilliant side character too!
Genevieve’s meddling mother is on a mission to get them together when she moves back to her home town, but does it in such a funny charming way that you can’t help but be on her side too!
The story running alongside their relationship kept me hooked too and I’m excited to read the next book in this series!

Huge thanks to Montlake and NetGalley for this ARC.

Whey I saw this hit my kindle, I about lost my mind! I love ARR and have since I first read until November and was so excited to see this new series coming out.

Ugh, I loved everything about this book. It Wyatt and Genevieve’s relationship was so genuine and sweet. They are definitely one of my favorite couples from her books.

After a bad break up and betrayal, Genovieve moves back home and is understandably not looking for love. And then we have Wyatt who falls hard and fast and enjoyed every bit of it.

The story moved fast and I couldn’t put it down. And the mom was hilarious! I am so ready for the next book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for this advanced copy!

I’ve been a fan of Aurora’s for over a decade so I was excited to get this book in her new series. The book moves swiftly and keeps pace with the character development. Wyatt’s reactions made me giggle and the mystery subplot kept me guessing. It felt like a quick read but still was able to build a memorable story. There were a couple plot holes that I could figure out if they were just not essential to the story or will be picked up in future books in the series-I’ll be reading to see!

I just loved this so much. Everything about it felt natural and authentic, organic. Nothing was rushed or forced. Meddlesome mom, sibling dynamics, search and rescue, it was all so tastefully written! Can't wait for more in this series.
