This Loving Feeling (A Mirror Lake Novel Book 3) Kindle Edition

Samantha Rushford’s future looks bright: the high school art teacher is getting ready to leave Mirror Lake and move to Boston with her ambitious boyfriend, and she hopes a diamond ring is just around the corner. But her past still has a hold on her—especially the bittersweet memory of her rebellious ex, who kissed her passionately before he left town without a word.

Since then, Lukas Spikonos has parlayed his rebel ways into life as an up-and-coming recording artist. When he shows up for a surprise gig at the high school prom, Sam is more dumbstruck than starstruck—he used the words of a poem she wrote about their breakup to create a number one hit. But Lukas hasn’t returned just to impress students; he’s facing some real-life responsibilities and needs Sam’s help. But she has her own unresolved issues about the life she wants to lead. Will the music—and the pull of true love and family—put their hearts back in harmony?

Editorial Reviews

Review

“So many great moments in This Loving Feeling and through it all these two people who had a past, managed to move forward and find the love they both needed in their lives: the kind of love that drives you crazy, makes your heart race and you know you can’t live without.” —Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews (5 stars)

“If you enjoy second chance romances, you won’t want to miss this one.” —Harlequin Junkie (4 stars, HJ Recommends)

“I highly recommend this fabulous heartwarming series.” —With Love for Books

From the Author

I loved working on Samantha and Lukas's story--which is the third book in my Rushford Family series but can easily be read as a stand-alone. Samantha, the baby of the family, has grown up, as six years have passed between the last book, This Love of Mine, and this one. Both she and Lukas have grown and evolved, and so has the Rushford family...baby Annabelle in the first book, This Thing Called Love, is seven now and guess who Lukas's adorable nephew Stavros (Stevie) develops a crush on?
This Loving Feeling is heartwarming, full of family and friends, is sexy, but also has some heartbreak in it, too...but also lots of laughs as well, because how else do we survive the toughness of life?
I'd like to think This Loving Feeling is a fun summer read but also has to do with the strong bonds of family; the idea that you might think you can't ever love because you don't know how to love; the way we think we need certain things to make up for things in our upbringing we didn't have; how we find the inner strength to take risks; and how the wrong guy can turn out to be the rightest guy of all. 
Hope you enjoy This Loving Feeling and if you do, please feel free to let me know! I love to hear from readers on my website, or Facebook and Twitter. Happy reading!   --Miranda mirandaliasson.com

5.0 out of 5 stars I’ve been Waiting for THIS One!

Really, I have. When I read book 2 of the Mirror Lake series, I hoped that the next book would be Lukas and Samantha’s story and I wasn’t disappointed. There were so many things I loved about this story.

Who wouldn’t love a “bad-boy turned good” and a “good girl who needs to step out of her comfort zone.” But the story was so much more than that.
It is about a man who doesn’t feel worthy of love, yet has a huge capacity for it just the same.
It is about Stevie, the young nephew who has been thrust into Lukas’ life. And the sense of family that develops between these two who don’t know what having a family means.
It is about the ability to embrace what you really need and want from life and love.
It is about family – whether the family you are born into or the family who takes you in.
And it is about second chances between two people who never stopped loving each other and who find the courage to accept what they really want in life regardless of what others think.

Yep, this one was worth waiting for. My only hope is that there are more books in the series and since Lukas has a bunch of long-lost brothers, I’m imagining the possibilities as I type this!

What happens when the guy who broke your heart suddenly shows up several years later, and you find you still have feelings for him? Sam is an art teacher about to leave town to move to Boston to be with her “almost” fiancé, who she’s been dating for six years. Lukas is a rock star who happens to show up back in town to sing at the school prom. He’s also the guy who broke her heart all those years ago. Memories of the past come flashing back for both of them, but can they really capture those feelings again and make it work this time?

I love second chance love stories, especially when the hero is a hot bad boy. I loved Lukas Spikonos. He was everything I want in a book hero. Lukas had a sad childhood, but he had one thing going for him. His voice.

Years earlier, he fell in love with Samantha Rushford, but he had nothing to offer Sam. When he left town, Sam was crushed. Now a teacher at the local high school, she is “almost” engaged to another man when Lukas returns to Mirror Lake. The bad boy she once loved is now a rock star and sexier than ever. What I loved about Lukas is that although he’s rough around the edges, the man has a big heart. He’s the perfect balance of a bad/good boy.

What does Lukas want? He wants Sam, of course, and nothing will stop him from winning her back. This is a wonderful story and I enjoyed every minute of it. I highly recommend THIS LOVING FEELING.

I absolutely adored everything about this book! I l liked Lukas in the first few books and thought he'd been given a bad rap, but after reading this book....wow.... I am so in love with Lukas. He might have been a little rough around the edges, but boy..... the man has finally proven he has a heart of gold behind that rough exterior. Sam & Lukas are the perfect match as far as I'm concerned, and adding little Stevie into the mix, is like adding icing to the cake..

I love this author, and can't wait to read more of her work.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sweet, light-hearted romance featuring a bad boy's quest to win back the girl of his dreams
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2016
Samantha Rushford thinks she has finally found the right guy, an uptight political type named Harris, so she's dismayed to find out her old boyfriend, Lukas Spikonos, is in town. Lukas is now an up-and-coming rock star, so he could have his pick of anyone, but he's still stuck on the 18 year old girl he fell in love with years ago. Sam obviously still has feelings for him too, she just doesn't trust him after he left her twice with no explanation. Lukas also has a new responsibility: raising his brother's son. As Samantha and Lukas get reacquainted, she has to decide if the safe, steady path with Harris is the right choice, or if she should take a chance on an old flame.

I liked Lukas a lot. He was a popular rock star, but he didn't act like one. He didn't seem to think he was better than anyone and the fact that he was determined to raise his nephew as his own was incredibly sweet. Samantha was a little frustrating at times. She kept telling herself she wasn't going to get sucked in by Lukas' charms, however she kept putting herself into situations where she would have to be around him. I think deep down that's what she wanted anyway, and I know she felt like she was in an impossible situation. She clearly never got over Lukas, but Harris had been there when she got her heart broken and had stood by her for years. Even though he was a bit of a jerk. Honestly, I think my favorite character was probably Samantha's grandma, Effie. She was so upbeat, ornery, and often the voice of reason for her granddaughter. I loved that she added a bit of humor to the scenes she was in.

I do not like the cover of this book at all. The couple just looks awkward, not at all like people who have any sort of chemistry together. The guy doesn't fit how Lukas is described in the book; Samantha mentions that his hair is at least long enough to fall in his eyes, it's supposed to be "gypsy black", and his skin is described as "golden". I mean, he is of Greek descent. I remember Samantha also saying he looked like "John Stamos circa 1993". The guy on the cover doesn't fit any of those parameters. Usually I don't even comment on covers, but I felt like this one missed the mark enough to warrant a comment...or three.

I'd be lying if I said this novel won me over right away. The first few chapters contained an annoying amount of instances where Samantha lamented the presence of "Lukas Spikonos". It wasn't the fact that she was upset about his being in town that irritated me, it was the constant use of Lukas' last name. I just didn't feel like it was necessary; I don't go around complaining about my ex's using first and last name, not even in my head. Of course it needed to be disclosed at least once, and some other instances where it is warranted, but not every other sentence at the beginning of the book. In the first chapter, I counted at least 11 uses of "Lukas Spikonos" instead of just "Lukas".

After I got past the first few chapters though, I started to enjoy the book more. It kept up a pretty good pace and the author did a great job of giving enough of the couple's backstory to make you understand what went wrong, but not so much as to annoy you with constant flashbacks. There aren't really any twists or turns to speak of; everything unfolds pretty much how you would expect it to. Even so, it was a nice, light read that I think romance fans will enjoy.

*I received a free copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*

Die Geschichte von Sam und Lukas ist wirklich schön und romantisch.
Das letzte Buch der Reihe spielt 6 Jahre nach dem letzten. Dadurch dass Lukas (Spike) vorher schon immer mal aufgetaucht ist, hat man schon einiges von der Beziehung der beiden mitbekommen.
Allerdings fand ich es übertrieben ihn immer als Badboy hinzustellen, außer der schwarzen Kleidung und seiner Tattoos war nichts „bad“ an ihm.
