Lake + Manning (Something in the Way, #4)
by
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! Lake + Manning, book 4 of 4. The conclusion to an epic, enchanting, forbidden, bittersweet & against-all-odds love saga!
Books in series should be read in order:
Book 1: Something in the Way
Book 2: Somebody Else’s Sky
Book 3: Move the Stars
Book 4: Lake + Manning
In book 1-3 innocent high-school student Lake Dolly Kaplan fell in love with the much older construction worker, Manning Raymond Sutter. The story followed them while they hid their feelings, fought their attraction and denied their love. A breath-taking journey covering over a decade of an doomed against-all-odds-love.
Lake + Manning, book 4 is the final chapter in Manning and Lake’s epic love saga. From sabotage to setbacks to poor timing their love has survived and blossomed under grueling circumstances. But finding their way back to each other proves to be only half the battle as they tackle forgiveness, betrayal, secrets, family, future and legacy.
Nine words to describe Manning Raymond Sutter: Noble, conflicted, reflective, loyal, self-doubting, charming, insensitive, self-sacrificing and misguided.
Nine words to describe Lake Dolly Kaplan: Reflective, sweet, smart, meek, determined, naïve, insightful, patience and loyal.
Lake + Manning, told from dual POVs, is the conclusion to an all-consuming, forbidden and impossible love story, with emphasis on angst. What a journey! What a love! What an ending. Bittersweet to say goodbye!
Spell-binding! Heart-wrenching! Hopeful! Epic!

“Manning,” I said when his tool belt pressed my inner thighs. “Your Drill.”
“That’s not my drill, Birdy.” He snickered…”
