The heartwarming new novel from New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis.

For fans of Susan Mallery, Kristan Higgins and Robyn Carr.
When life gives you lemons...
Brooke Lemon has always led the life she wanted, wild adventures - and mistakes - included, a fact that her perfect sister Mindy never understood. So when Mindy shows up on Brooke's doorstep in the throes of a breakdown with her three little kids in tow, asking to switch lives with Brooke, she's shocked.
Wanting to make amends, and find a way back to being sisters, Brooke agrees to trade places with Mindy for a few days so she can put herself back together...without admitting she's just as broken. Her sister needs her though, so she takes the kids and returns to Wildstone. But how do you face home - and the man you left behind - after seven years away?
The Lemon sisters are about to learn you can't outrun your demons - but if they can overcome their differences they might realise that the one person who can help them the most is the one they never thought to ask.
Jill Shalvis. Delightfully addictive.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Shalvis's sensuous third Wildstone contemporary romantic novel (after Rainy Day Friends) reunites former lovers. Brooke Lemon lives in Los Angeles and is a producer of documentaries. When Brooke's older sister, Mindy, shows up at her door after a year out of contact, Brooke is stunned. Normally very put together, Mindy is disheveled and has her three young children with her. She recites a litany of woes, including business troubles, potty training, and the disappearance of her sex life. Brooke offers to take Mindy's children so Mindy can stay in L.A. for a few days and get some much-needed rest. Mindy agrees, and Brooke takes her niece and nephews back to Mindy's house in their hometown of Wildstone, on California's central coast. As Brooke bonds with the kids, she reunites with Garrett Montgomery, the boyfriend she left behind seven years before after a helicopter crash that caused her to miscarry their baby. Though she has never forgotten Garrett, she knows that her departure devastated him. Brooke and Garrett's discovery that their attraction is stronger than ever leads them to explore getting back together. Flawed, believable characters and plenty of sizzling love scenes make this an enjoyable outing.
Customer Reviews
Fabulous
I haven’t read any of the previous books in this series but was able to read this one with no issues.
Seven years ago Brooke Lemon left Wildstone, CA bound for Los Angeles. Now a producer for a Travel show, she has no plans to return. She cut ties with her sister Mindy as well as the man who held her heart, Garrett Montgomery.
When Mindy shows up unexpectedly begging for her sisters help, Brooke feels obligated to help. Mindy looks nothing like the poised and in control women she has always been. Instead she is frazzled, distraught and close to a breakdown.
Brooke, along with Mindy’s three children head to Wildstone. Of course she runs in to Garrett and both realise that they still have feelings for one another.
I really loved Mindy’s children and it was heart warming to watch as Brooke re-connected with them. It was also interesting to watch as Brooke and Mindy tried to fix their relationship whilst Mindy trued to fix her marriage to Linc.
As long buried secrets rise to the surface, Brooke, Mindy and Garrett will have to learn to trust one another again.
The chemistry between Brooke and Garrett is strong and both come to realise that what they have is worth fighting for.
Jill Shalvis writes characters that are human, that have flaws, vulnerabilities and are easy to relate too. There is always a lot of depth to her characters and The Lemon Sisters is a good example of this.
Loved it
4.5 Stars for The Lemon Sisters which is book 3 in the Wildstone Series but you don’t need to have read the previous books to enjoy the entertaining read from Jill Shalvis, I know this because I haven’t read the previous books but I will be going back as soon as time permits because I fell in love with Brooke and Mindy The Lemon Sisters of Wildstone.
They may be sisters but they couldn’t be more different , Brooke has always been a free spirt she had a exciting career with plenty of adrenaline rushes until a helicopter crash left her with PTSD. Mindy was the sister who settled down married a doctor and had 3 adorable children until she felt her life was falling apart she is convinced her husband is having an affair and she turns up on Brooke’s doorstep with her children in tow. Brooke does what any loving sister would do and that’s take the children home to give Mindy some space and time to think. Problem is that means going back to her hometown and face her own insecurities and face the only man she has ever really loved .......
Brooke may have broken Garrett’s heart all those years ago but deep down she still loves him will this be a second chance for them all or will the past haunt their futures.
A book with all the feels, I laughed at those adorable children and the issues they all cope with on a daily basis, I loved Brooke and Mindy but Garrett really stole a piece of my heart. This book has the perfect mix of love, passion and humour whilst dealing with family drama and if you love contemporary romance set in a small town then this is a book you need to read. This is a touching story about family, life and everyday issues and this author did a great job drawing me into the life’s of the residents of Wildstone.
