Jamis Bachman never stays in one place for too long. Retired from the reality TV show Ghastly Incidents, she's now a social media sensation, chasing ghosts, demons, and inter-dimensional aliens—in an effort to avoid her own.
When a desperate young couple sends Jamis a video of a poltergeist disturbance, she jumps on a plane to Sage Creek, Utah, not knowing her world is about to change forever. Ghost stories she can handle, but a violent poltergeist, a brutal unsolved twenty-five-year-old murder, and meeting the love of her life? She's in way over her head.
Jamis thought she was the one chasing ghosts, but it seems as though something is chasing her…

At all.
Veterinarian Tegan Evans avoids the tourist side of Yakima, venturing there only when an animal needs her. Tourists only break your heart. Still, she can't resist helping Alana, who, despite being in over her head with rambunctious puppies and a job she is barely qualified to perform, seems determined to make a success of things.
Alana and Tegan both know they don't belong together. Only problem is, they're falling in love.

Who says you can't go home again?
Philadelphia real estate broker Devyn Winters is at the peak of her career, closing multimillion-dollar deals and relishing it. She's pretty much blocked out her formative years in Dreamer's Bay, where the most exciting thing to happen was the twice a year bake sale. Unfortunately, a distress call hauls her back home and away from the life she's constructed. Now the question is just how long until she can leave again? And when did boring Elizabeth Draper get so beautiful?
Elizabeth Draper loves people, free time, and a good cup of coffee in the warm sunlight. In the quaint town of Dreamer's Bay, she's the only employee of On the Spot, an odd jobs company. She remembers Devyn Winters as shallow in high school, but now everything about Devyn makes her lose focus. Though her brain knows Devyn is only home temporarily, her heart didn't seem to get the memo.
"I love this book. I want to kiss it on its face. I also want to go to Dreamer's Bay, so I can eat the donuts, hang out on the beaches, and maybe even join in on the Saturday night cornhole game with Devyn and Elizabeth. Instead, I'm going to stick Beautiful Dreamer on my to-reread-when-everything-sucks pile, because it's sure to make me happy again and again." —Smart Bitches Trashy Books

In A Chapter on Love, the two main characters first meet as camp counselor and camper then again 17 years later. Both Lee, a park ranger (a favorite trope of mine) and Nik, a bookseller, fatefully end up in each other's path as adults and sparks reignite.
Overall, a good book and I would be curious about the author's next one to see what she does.

It was refreshing that there weren't any games between Nick and Lee. It was mainly just two women meeting again, getting to know each other since they're older now, and dealing with some minor self esteem issues. I also was thankful that Lee was over the death of her wife. Not that I don't get and am not sympathetic toward losing a spouse, but most of the time books focus on having to let them go to start a new relationship. This wasn't like that at all.
Overall it was an easy read...

A nice light read
I enjoyed this book from the beginning. It was a nice light read. I believe that this is the author's debut novel and I think she has done well.
Jannika (I love this name) is a manager of a second hand book store and has the ability to find the correct book for the right person. Lee (Leslie) is a manager of the state park and used to be a camp counsellor many years ago when she first met Jannika.
The pair meet up again when Lee's friend Hannah invites her to a book club meeting which is located in the bookstore. They are both surprised at seeing the other after all these years. I enjoyed the storyline, I thought the pace was just about right, it is a slow burn romance which I like and the bedroom scenes were good...
I look forward to reading more from this author in the near future.

A strong debut novel that I can easily recommend

A Chapter on Love by Laney Webber is a lovely contemporary romance that was fun to read. It is what I like to call a feel-good romance, you know, the kind that makes you smile as you read. Both main characters met about eighteen years before the story begins when both were at summer camp. Jannika (Nick) Peterson was a young counselor-in-training and Leslie (Lee) Thompson was a summer camp counselor. Jannika had a major crush on Leslie, but the circumstances and age difference between the two meant nothing could happen then. Eighteen years, a lot of maturing, and a good deal of heartache later, they meet again and find the connection still exists and is even stronger. Now both have to find out if their bond is strong enough to overcome past heartaches and grow into love.
I really enjoyed this book. It is well-written, the pace of the story is good and the main characters are well developed. I felt the connection from the moment they met again. The story caught my interest and kept me reading all the way until the end...I thoroughly enjoyed this novel.
A Chapter on Love is a strong debut novel that I can easily recommend. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Webber in the future.

All I heard was gay, camp, and bookstore and I was sold
All I heard was gay, camp, and bookstore and I was sold on reading A Chapter on Love.
I originally wanted to read this book because it has so many elements relatable to my own life. I see a lot of myself in Jannika. A Chapter on Love was a sweet f/f contemporary romance...This is definitely a character driven story. The cover gives the story that small town vibe. Overall, it's a good book. There aren't enough stories stemming from camp history out there so that's a whole extra star just for that.
