Absolutely Captivating

Lake Magic is a captivating first romance novel by Kimberly Fisk. Her book is an amazing story of love, conflict, and empowerment between two individuals who are unlikely compatibles. Her characters are memorable and believable -- you really feel like you know them and are lost in their world. The setting for her novel is beautiful in the northwest of Washington. The love scenes are very steamy! I couldn't put the novel down. And, I was sad to see the story end. Kimberly is a very talented writer and story teller. A charming and great read! Will look forward to future novels by this author.

Loved this!!!

I know we will be hearing a lot from Kimberly Fisk! Congrats and keep em coming! My only criticism is the secondary story with the sister and nephew seemed unfinished and kind of dangling out there......this must be the next story!

A DAZZLING DEBUT!!!!!

Jenny Beckinsale is still grieving the death of her fiancé, Steven. She is still too grief-stricken to give much attention to get their seaplane charter business, Blue Sky Air, off the ground (no pun intended) when suddenly a tall, dark, and handsome stranger, Jared Worth appears demanding that he be paid in full for his portion of the business. Jenny is shocked. Steven had never told her they had a silent partner. And she has no intention on giving up Steven's dream. If Jared has to be paid, she is going to wait until the day the money is owed, not one minute earlier. Jared vows to stay until then; but the only available lodging in the little town on the lake is a spare room in the home Jenny inherited from her grandmother. Although there is an attraction between Jenny and Jared, neither of them have any intention of getting involved in any type of romance right now. In fact, both stubbornly resist one another. Jenny adamantly does not want to get involved with another Flyboy whose life would be given to the sky instead of her. She is determined though to show Jared she isn't just another little blonde airhead, but is able to get more clients for Blue Sky Air and make the business successful on her own. Little by little though Jared begins to endear himself to Jenny as he befriends Jenny's 13-year-old nephew, Cody who is going through teenage angst. When the moody teen opens up to Jared, it starts melting Jenny's heart. Maybe there is more to Jared than just sexy bravado. This is a dazzling debut by Golden Heart winner Kimberly Fisk that reads as if it were from a much more seasoned author. She has a successful writing career ahead of her if LAKE MAGIC is any indication of her talent. She compares to such bestselling authors as Kristin Hannah, Luanne Rice, and even early Jodi Picoult. . Note to publisher: While I would never want to tell a publisher how to do their business, as a former bookseller and long-time reviewer, I believe books of this caliber should be published as a trade-sized paperback rather than mass market in order to be placed on the bookshelves with women's fiction to garner the wider audience they deserve. LAKE MAGIC is absolutely outstanding and very highly recommended. Fisks's characters are well-fleshed out and the story of the relationship between Cody and Jared brings a depth to the novel. I will be anxiously awaiting her next novel. It can't come soon enough for me!

entertaining contemporary romance

Navy pilot Jared Worth arrives at the cottage of Jenny's grandmother where Jenny hides from the world demanding she either get the business running or refund him the money he lent his best friend Steven.

The story line is driven by the characters whose first impressions are not favorable, but over time change to love, but both loath the feelings of betraying Steven especially Jenny. Readers will enjoy this warm second chance at love drama. Harriet Klausner
