Description

Female lobsterman Charlie Pinkham is content with her seaside life in Christmas Cove, Maine.

Single and surrounded by friends and community, Charlie has always been more comfortable braving the bold Atlantic rather than diving into the messy business of romance. When she writes a post for her bestie's Happily Ever Holidays blog, Charlie's decidedly unromantic piece goes viral. Readers connect with lobster behavior, and how they're hardwired to protect themselves from their own species-a trait Charlie respects.

Because love hurts.

Still, she can't quell her growing interest in Logan, the mysterious and definitely unavailable man renting her family's lighthouse for the month of December. Charlie looks for distraction by DMing a stranger online, and organizing Christmas Cove's first annual holiday festival.

But as her Love & Lobsters posts explore the ways lobsters display trust, commitment, mating rituals, and sexy time, Charlie must decide if plunging into uncharted waters is worth the risk.

Critical Reviews

"A heart-skipping small-town love story with tight pacing, captivating prose, and memorable characters. This cozy, feel-good romance explores the power of a small supportive community, the many kinds of love that lift us up and how fear can weigh us down, and whether it's possible to find that rarest of loves-much like the one-in-100-million "cotton candy" lobsters that Charlie describes in her posts." - Kirkus

"Once again, Parker captures magic on the page. Love & Lobsters is a love letter to the people who raise us, to the land that shapes us, to the community that saves us, and of course, to those brave enough to fall in love, and to be loved." - Rebecca Podos, award-winning author of Like Water and The Mystery of Hollow Places

"Wow. Incredible." Shannon's mom

"A beautiful, big-hearted tribute to love in all its forms-I can't stop thinking about this book. Wonderful, swoony, and sweet in all the right ways, you'll be smitten with Christmas Cove!" - Amber Smith, New York Times bestselling author of The Way I Used to Be and The Way I Am Now

"A generous, charming, and moving story of love, land (and sea), and leaping into the unknown. Readers will savor Charlie's honest, brave (and sexy!) journey!" - Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times #1 bestselling author of Girl in Pieces, You'd Be Home Now, and The Glass Girl
