Description

Rising high above the bustling streets of New York, Ivy Brooks has spent her career building glass towers, but she has yet to construct a life that feels like home. Between the demands of a high-pressure architecture firm and the expectations of a family legacy that feels like a weight, Ivy is desperate for a fresh perspective. Enter Maren, a woman who offers exactly the kind of grounded clarity Ivy didn't realize she was missing. What begins as a chance meeting blossoms into a slow-burning connection that challenges Ivy to scale back the professional walls she has meticulously erected. As they navigate the complexities of their burgeoning bond, Ivy finds herself pulled away from the sterile heights of the boardroom and into the messy, vibrant heart of community and genuine belonging. Set against the cozy backdrop of crisp autumn air and changing foliage, this story is a heartfelt exploration of what it truly means to build a foundation that lasts. Rachel Lacey weaves a tender, spicy, and deeply authentic romance that proves the best view isn't just about reaching the summit—it’s about finding the one person worth staying on the ground with. It is an uplifting, beautifully written tribute to identity, love, and the courage to finally design a life on one's own terms.

Sizzling one night to forever love story

Just had to share that this book was excellent and recommend everyone to read it! This is a novel that you couldn't read fast enough but sad that you finished it. You will still be thinking about it days after finishing it and will be added to your reread list. This is a one night to forever love story that includes spice, angst and a HEA. You are rooting for the MCs from day one. The supporting characters added to the story and helped the MCs get their happy ending. You will not be disappointed reading this.

A beautiful love story

I'm not even sure how I came across this book but I am oh-so glad that I did! This book was absolutely beautiful and I loved every single moment... this was one of those books that I honestly couldn't put down. I hyperfocused on this one and read until it was finished - it was that good! From the small town of Crescent Falls (oh how I want to go here!) in Vermont to the big city of Boston this book twisted and turned and was just so beautifully done. I loved how Diana was a toughie at first - she was the one used to being strong and never showing real emotion until she finally met the person that made her question all of that. Emily was scared and living a content life but it was just never enough. Together they made one hell of a duo and for what is supposed to be a one night stand... their passion just blew me away. As far as sapphic romances go this is truly one of my all time favorites - it kept me wanting more, more spice, more banter, more insane chemistry - it was just so well done. I also love all of the supporting characters and the LGBTQIA+ representation as that was exceptionally well done! The anxiety rep also felt authentic and very well done! I know that I will be checking out other titles by this author now and can't wait to read more!

Another Gem from Rachel Lacey

I loved this book! The characters are so believable and you get caught up in everything they are trying to deal with and overcome right from the start. Emily is driven and completely focused on her end goal of becoming CEO of her family's company. Emily is an artist working part time at her grandmothers' inn to pay her bills. One is almost too brave (at least that's the front she shows) the other afraid to leave the comfort of the known. Together they learn to not only begin to understand their fears but also to build the strength to fight and conquer those fears. And after what was initially meant to be a one night stand (a Very Steamy one) they also begin to allow themselves to recognize and develop the strong feelings they have for each other as more than just excellent chemistry. Add in the beautiful Vermont setting, interesting side characters, and a story that shows growth and willingness to change, and you have a love story that is Another Gem from Rachel Lacey.
