One of 2016's best summer reads
Seductive and mysterious, this is the perfect novel to while away a summer's afternoon
Gripping... You'll be rooting for Jim and Jennifer, the narrative zips along at a great pace and it's brilliantly written. I loved it

Beautifully descriptive and achingly romantic, this absorbing tale is a pure delight. *****
A classic tale of star-crossed lovers - with a dark twist. Vividly told, with plenty of surprises
Romance with a side order of suspense

Atmospheric and engrossing
Fantastic reading, an excellent balance of romance and suspense. If you're heading on an end-of-summer break away, pack this one in your bag
A stirring and intoxicating story of love and twisted secrets waiting... lurking. The bewitching hot heady Deep South encouraged me to explore the past, so evocatively described and full of promise. Waves of emotion, spilling the ups and downs of life, feeling touchable and realistic wash the pages. Tasmina Perry has the ability to immerse you entirely within the story, I lived in the moment, whether it was 1995 or 2015. 'The House on Sunset Lake' surges towards a climatic ending, it is a moving, and truly very lovely story indeed
A perfect summer read. Very evocative. A super book and I highly recommend it
