This was okay. A pretty typical small-town, second-chance romance about former childhood rivals-turned-sweethearts who reunite after years apart when they co-inherit their grandmothers' lakeside inn and lodge.

This is a paranormal romance, but I felt like the paranormal elements, although everpresent, were a bit underdeveloped; I didn't get a real sense of how the magic works or fits into the world, and there are some inconsistencies, like the fact that gorgons' magic is seen as dark and sinister, but they also can immediately reverse petrifying someone, with no ramifications at all, so I don't know why they're feared?

I also found the relationship similarly underdeveloped, and I had a hard time believing that the connection was all that strong or that Chandler was worthy of trust. There's a lot of sex for such a short book, which will vary in its appeal according to personal preference. As for me (with my demisexual tendencies), I prefer for the scales to tip a bit stronger on the side of character and plot, so I was occasionally annoyed by how often Lettie and Chandler were getting it on, when I wanted them to focus more on the inn.

And I guess on their wacky scheme to save it?

Note that if you are expecting any shapeshifting or monstrousness in this book, there is none. Chandler (the titular gorgon) does sound hot, but she is 100% human in appearance.
