Description
Is a lost love ever really gone? A beautiful, small-town lesbian romance about broken hearts, hope, and second chances.
After her father’s death, property developer Chloe Roberts has only one goal: to renovate and sell the old family house as quickly as possible so she never has to return home ever again. The last thing she expects is to run into Amy Edwards, the first woman she ever loved.
Dairy farmer Amy is deeply shaken by Chloe’s sudden reappearance. Burnt bridges from bad teenage decisions still fill her with regret. What if she reaches out, though? Just a little? Can some bridges ever be saved?
As the childhood friends grow closer, old feelings start to resurface. Should those old, aching wounds be left in the past, along with all the mistakes they might only repeat? Or should the women again risk their hearts trying to conquer the distance between them—one last time?

I always like second chance romances specially if they took place in small UK village. The story is good but it didn’t fascinate me. In fact towards the end I was getting bored with so many existential crises that I started to skip those paragraphs. It felt unflavored. All the characters were bland and something or someone special is missing. However I like the way this author write and I will read her next book hoping to find the quirkiness and fun.

I enjoyed reading Fool For Love . The main characters, Chloe and Amy have a history that runs throughout the storyline and added some depth to the history of the village and supporting community. The love story drew me in and Chloe and Amy made me want to find out how keep reading to see how they came out at the end. Free arc received for an honest review.

Fool for Love by Rachael Sommers is a second-chance, small town romance with a thread of angst that pretty much runs through most of the story. I actually love these tropes in my romance novels. That little kernel of angst and the, “Will they resolve their bad feelings and fall in love again?” question always keeps me reading. This novel did exactly that.
Chloe Roberts is going back to the village she grew up in, not to live there, but to renovate her old family home so she can sell it. Her biggest hope is that she can get in, do the repairs as quickly as possible and leave before she sees her childhood best friend, first love, and first major heartbreak, Amy. Unfortunately for Chloe, Amy is living and running her family’s dairy farm right next door…in sight of Chloe’s house. Avoiding Amy in such a small village is going to be impossible, but can the two get over past hurts to at least become friends again?
I did enjoy this book. The characters are well developed, and I can see the chemistry between Chloe and Amy, especially as they spend more and more time together. I also liked the secondary characters, from Chloe’s current best friend Naomi and her family, to some of the villagers we meet in the tale. The village setting is great for this type of story, and the author did a good job creating this backdrop for Chloe and Amy’s reunion.
I really only have one problem with the novel, and that is the ending. It is rather abrupt. I honestly kept looking to see if there was one more chapter or epilogue that I missed. It felt unfinished…almost open-ended. I’m hoping this may be because the author is planning a second novel about Naomi, the best friend. I could see that happening, and will be looking forward to reading Naomi’s story if it does.
I received an ARC from Ylva Publishing for an honest review.

I read this for the 2025 Sapphic Book Bingo reading challenge for the prompt Childhood Friends-to-Lovers.
I picked this up solely because Rachael Sommers wrote it, it was a happy accident that it fit this prompt. I really enjoy her work and recommend anything she writes.
Quick Thoughts:
– I am usually not a fan of second chance romances but I was willing to try this story just because it was written by Rachael Sommers. So glad I did. I enjoyed it a lot
– LOVE how Amy’s family is fully on board with making Spanish and Gabby’s traditions an important everyday part of everyone’s lives
– I also ADORED that Amy and her family fully recognize, and never even batted an eye, that Naomi’s family was also Chloe’s family and refers to them as such
– Chloe accidentally becoming the village handyperson had me giggling
– Also giggled at how these little old ladies she’s helping are making her oodles of scones
– I want my wife to have the skills Chloe has so I can stare at her all day while she uses those skills
– Bella is the best dog and deserves all the pets and treats in the world
– I really wanted to shake Amy and Chloe towards the end of the book. They were being so dang stubborn (even though it made sense why)
– Did not like how forgiving Chloe was with Daniel. While he does grow as a person, most of that is just casually mentioned, so it makes it hard for me to get on board with his growth
– Also it kinda irked me that Chloe spent all those years away from her home village due to how she was treated but that hurt was just glossed over once she arrived. At least Amy and Daniel acknowledged their mistakes and apologized
– The big reason this was not a five star book for me was that I’m not very fond of stories that end almost immediately after the protagonists commit to a relationship. I want a better payoff for going through all that angst and see them being happy together
– Sienna Frances was a fantastic narrator in this. I had listened to her narrate The Rakess (a M/F romance) which I had realized about ten minutes into the book (“wait, why does she sound familiar? OH!”). She did an excellent job with the calm pacing of this book while also making the love scenes passionate
Overall I very much enjoyed this story where “nothing happens” and we watch two idiots fall in love. Even with the bits that bothered me, I am glad I bumped this up on my TBR for this book challenge. I just wish we got a peek into their lives a few years into the future.
