Title: What Happens at the Lake
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Trope: Grumpy-Sunshine
Release Date: January 15, 2024
She smelled like damn summer.
And it pissed me off.
Plus, I was tired from a shitty night’s sleep. I’d tossed and turned thinking about Little Miss Home Improvement wearing nothing but a pair of denim short overalls and work boots—no shirt, no socks, definitely no bra or underwear.
Josie hopped down from the last two steps on the ladder. “Can I ask you something?”
“What?”
“Are you always this grumpy in the morning?”
“I’m not grumpy.”
“No? So this is what? Your idea of a sparkling personality? I asked if your coffee was okay, and you grunted at me.”
“That wasn’t a grunt. That was a yes.”
Josie made a short, deep noise that sounded like a pig.
I arched a brow. “Is that supposed to be me?”
She made the sound again, this time adding some monkeylike arm movements and jumping around. “Gronk.”
“Cute.”
She jumped again. “Gronk. Gronk.”
I tried not to react, but she was just too damn adorable.
Josie pointed at my face. “There it is again. The elusive Mr. Grumpy Pants smile. It’s kind of…dare I say…nice.” She made an exaggerated gasping sound and covered her mouth. “Oh no. I hope it’s not too painful.”
“Alright, wiseass. I get the point. How about you take your oinking ass out front and grab one of the small two by fours I left on the porch? I’ll show you how to make an easy support to hold up the drywall while it gets screwed into the ceiling.”
Josie strutted to the door. The woman was wearing a white tank top and long, pale pink, flowy skirt to do construction. It looked like she was going on a picnic date, rather than hanging sheetrock—though the tank top hugged her in all the right places, and there was something about her collarbone that I couldn’t drag my eyes away from. She bent to pick up the wood out front, and the top of her tank gaped open, giving me a clear view down her shirt. I forced my head in the other direction, though my eyes managed to slant and continue looking.
“Jesus Christ,” I grumbled to myself. “I need to get the fu¢k out of here.”
★★★
Excited? We are too!

Spoiler-free Review
What Happens at the Lake by Vi KeelandMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
ALL THE STARS!!!!!!!𝗞𝗖𝗕𝗥 𝗟𝗟𝗖 𝗪𝗔𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗢 𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪. 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗦 𝗔 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗔𝗡 𝗔𝗗. I have to tell you about THE best book. I laughed and cried, and I’m still grinning like a loon two weeks after hitting the last page. What Happens at the Lake by Vi Keeland is EVERYTHING. This small-town romance is packed with the feels, fun, and Fox! He is such a grump, and Josie is pure sunshine. If WHATL wasn’t releasing on 1/15, it would be on my Best of 2023 list. I have a book hangover today in all the best ways. I loved this book so much that I reread it.
