Publisher Description
Love begins in Lake Bittersweet …
Out in the forest, wilderness guide Galen Cooper’s skill is legendary. But put him anywhere near gorgeous newcomer Brenda McMurray and he can barely remember how to speak. Yup, he’s got a crush, and he’s got it bad. But a traumatic childhood has left him unfit for civilization, let alone a classy beauty like Brenda. If his wild and wooly appearance doesn’t scare the new teacher off, surely his odd combination of shy and brusque will.
Brenda’s move to Lake Bittersweet came after a personal loss; now she finds comfort and solace in the small town. Being near her free-spirited granny is just what she needs, even if the sassy senior is determined to meddle in her business. Maybe it’s odd that her granny’s sex life is better than hers, but Brenda’s too busy for dating, what with her work and a certain secret project.
When a local senior’s last request sends her and Galen on a wilderness adventure, they discover far more than the wonders of nature. Sure, their chemistry is as surprising as it is combustible, but can a mountain man and a fourth-grade teacher ever have a future? Maybe…if Galen can face his past. And if Brenda’s secret doesn’t blow up in her face. And if a simple crush can change two lives forever.

This quirky small town of Lake Bittersweet is constant entertainment and I've loved it from the start. This is a wonderfully, sweet story with perfect humor and a whole lotta spark. The chemistry, emotions, and fun were just a delight from start to finish. Galen and Brenda's story is beautifully written and will stay with you long after the end.
So good! Love their love!
Y’all! I read this in one night! I could not put it down. I’ve read the entire Lost Harbor Series and this was the same for me. I couldn’t stop reading and when it did end I wanted more. Jennifer is amazingly awesome at drawing you in and keeping you there. I could see it all in my mind. I love when that happens. Becoming so absorbed in the story that everything else falls away. Galen and Brenda have my heart! I can’t wait to read the rest of this series. I started them out of order but I will go back and read them all.

The Crush is book 6 in the Lake Bittersweet series by Jennifer Bernard and a great addition to this series!
Up next is Galen Cooper and Brenda McMurray’s story and what a story it is..the mountain man, Galen has had a crush on Brenda since she came to town almost 2 years ago but because of some childhood trauma he believes he can not find a forever love. This story takes you on a journey of discovery, honesty, meddling family, steam, witty banter, not playing games and so much more…
