Falling in love with the enemy has never felt so good for two women on opposite sides of a family feud.
Claire Fontenot jilted her high school boyfriend, Kurt Savoy, at the altar, igniting a storm between the two families that culminated in fiercely competing hot sauce businesses. When she reluctantly returns home to a small town in Louisiana to run her aunt’s antique clock shop, she doesn’t exactly receive the warmest of welcomes.
Ivy Savoy is Kurt’s younger sister and grew up learning never to trust a Fontenot. When Ivy spots a treasured lost clock from her childhood in the window of the antique shop, she can’t resist going inside.
Claire and Ivy, who have every reason to hate each other, can’t seem to stop feeling exactly the opposite. Falling in love is out of the question if they can’t convince their families—and each other—to let go of the past.
Grace Dawson is completely over her ex, Christina. But that doesn’t mean she wants to plan her wedding proposal to another woman.
Grace dreams of the day she’ll have a romantic proposal like those she plans for her clients at Tie the Knot. She’s spent the last year reading a boatload of self-help books. No way she’s going to fall back into old patterns and date someone afraid of commitment ever again. When it comes to everlasting love, Grace is all in.
Bridget Cartwright, Christina’s personal assistant, will do anything for Christina with the hopes of getting a promotion, even plan her proposal. So what if she knows zilch about romance and doesn’t even believe in happily-ever-after? There are companies for hire that do that sort of thing.
When Grace and Bridget end up stranded together on Mistletoe Mountain, Grace has no chance to escape. Not from her painful past, not from her attraction to Bridget, and definitely not from all the romance in the air.

I loved the book...I had no idea it was a debut novel because it was written so well...The story had me hooked from chapter one...The secondary characters help to build the story and add a level of humor to certain chapters.
Love on the Red Rocks
This book has a lot of good going for it...
The characters are great, the story is well written....If you’re looking for a solid contemporary romance, The Butterfly Whisperer is a great choice. I had a great time reading it and I’m looking forward to seeing what Lisa Moreau has in store for us next.

What a great escape...A few hours or days to decompress from life’s craziness, and enjoy a quality story with cute characters. Not to mention butterflies, who doesn’t love those?
Witty, entertaining, and thoroughly enjoyable lighthearted romance...
It’s extremely well written and edited, a wonderful and well developed cast of characters, excellent dialogue, extremely funny at times and with a warmth and humour throughout.

This was a beautifully written novel by Lisa Moreau that tells the story of unrequited childhood love. …When Jordan and Sophie finally got round to expressing their love, you could feel the tension and the genuine love…

Lovebirds
Lisa Moreau writes the most appealing characters, with a gentleness and understanding that I’ve yet to find in another author. Her stories are so romantic, but when things get hot she knows just what buttons to press.
Totally adorable romance that I had a hard time putting down...This is a very gentle, lovely story. It was super easy to sink into and made for perfect escapism at the end of a couple of long work days...Everything worked for me!

Light, funny and entertaining read...based on an original idea with the beautiful setting of Ojai valley in California. The dialogue is funny and witty, the main characters are lovable, and their chemistry is spot on.
Picture Perfect
A Moment in Time is a sweet romance...It had me believing in soulmates ...The book has bits of angst sprinkled throughout to keep the story from feeling too saccharine, and that’s something I need in my romances. I had fun on this trip to Louisiana.
A Moment in Time

Picture Perfect has a light, breezy feel to it, making it an excellent beach read. It’s sweet, sexy, and a lot of fun with characters I enjoyed and a romance that gave me a happy sigh!

An easy to read holiday romance, the kind you grab when you want to curl up in front of a fire with a blanket and a cup of hot chocolate...It was a thoroughly enjoyable read.
The Christmas Proposal
“
A feel-good Hallmark movie vibe but adds a level of realness by giving us two main characters coming to terms with their pasts, present, and futures....This is a slow-burn, gentle romance and a nice addition to your holiday reads.
The Christmas Proposal
“
A charming romance...Moreau did a fantastic job creating Mistletoe Mountain....I Googled it because I thought it was real...This is a merry little romance that would be good with a cup of hot chocolate in your favorite reading nook.
