Stefanie Stahl has a husband with renovation ADD. He can't seem to finish anything he starts, and her house is littered with his "projects". If he doesn't smarten up, she swears she's going to murder him and bury him under the pile of scrounged lumber in the backyard.

Her friend Griffin James is suddenly single and thinking maybe she needs to sell her fixer-upper and follow her career bliss up the ladder of success, even if that scary ladder is clear across the country. Getting her place ready to sell proves harder than she originally thought. She needs help.

She's not the only one. Cass Wilkes, their neighbor, has an empty nest - with a leaking roof. When her ceiling crashes in, she knows it's time to do something. When Grant Masters offers his handyman services at a fundraiser auction, the three women go in together to outbid the competition and win their man. (Cass' friends think she should win Grant in a different way, too!) Now it's time to make some improvements - in their houses and their lives.

OK, but frequently infuriating.

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2022

There are three main stories going on here: Cass' roof collapses and she needs construction help; Griffin ends her engagement, decides to sell her yet-to-be-updated (or painted) house and move to NYC, so she also needs construction help; and Stef's husband keeps starting projects in their house, doing demo, and stopping after creating havoc, so...you know where I'm going with this. Enter Grant, the George Clooney look-alike who's Dan's father and former owner of his construction business. He and Cass are attracted, but Grant is afraid of the 14 year age difference. His other son, a chef, gets involved with Griffin, a food photographer with eating issues. And Stef's husband becomes a three-year-old. The other two storylines are fine, but I frequently found myself wanting to slap somebody over the husband destroying the house storyline. Stef has to apologize to him for "not needing him" to fix what he's destroyed. Her husband whines about her bringing this handyman in without talking to him first when he tears down load-bearing walls on a whim. It's sexist as hell, and I expect better from female writers. He barely apologizes, and only when she fires the only person capable of fixing things. He's given instructions and still messes up, but that's marriage. Sacrificing your house for your husband's ego. I found myself hating the author after reading this crap.

Sweet read...

Starting Over on Blackberry Lane by Sheila Roberts is an interesting women's fiction piece. I liked the sweet romance that was brewing. The three female friends each had their own issues. One dealing with her husband who starts but doesn't finish projects, another is feeling lonely, and the last one just got out of one relationship and may dive into another. The themes were friendship, love, and second chances.

Steph has a husband who does construction. The only issue is that he starts many projects but hasn't gotten anything done yet. Her frustration is understandable. However,mI didn't like her attitude towards her husband. He's a sweet man who only wants to make his wife happy. Only he feels like whatever he does, she doesn't approve...

Cass is my favorite of the three women. She is separated from her ex, has three adult kids, and her roof collapses on her. Cass feels lonely. It was super easy to connect with her. I felt her loneliness througheach lage. Until a certain construction guy comes to town. Then both their lives change.

Last but not least, is Griffin. She's finding that her current relationship isn't working. So, she's left with ending it. From there she wants to pursue a career somewhere else...but then, a man steps into her life and things may just get interesting...

Overall, Starting Over on Blackberry Lane is a great read. Definitely, for women everywhere. The characters were believable and so were their situations. Readers like myself can connect immediately due to the realistic telling of the story. I recommend it to readers everywhere.

Life is full of renovations!

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2017

Welcome back to Icicle Falls! So many renovations going on. Stef and her husband were trying to make changes on their home and little did they know the renovations would also include their lives.

Griffin needed to change her life and work on the career that she really wants. She realizes she needs to become unengaged to be able to move on. After that renovation, it was time for the real renovations to start. Could she find the life she really wanted? Get her house fixed up, make a major move and meet someone that could truly care for her?

Cass love her kids, friends, bakery and her house sometimes. Part of her roof falls in and this starts her many renovations. It hasn't been easy for Cass. She needs a life of her own and not live through her kids and friends. Will she find her happiness somewhere among the renovations?

Then comes along Grant Masters. His wife has been gone three years and he wants to get back into life. He opens a handyman service in Icicle Falls. The ladies go crazy wanting this man who looks like George Clooney to fix all their renovations. Can he do it? Is he the right person to help everyone with their renovation projects and their life renovations?

You will find yourself cheering all of them on wanting what is best for each of them. Thank you Sheila Roberts for another wonderful look into Icicle Falls. I always want to come back! Can't wait for the next one!

Another Great Book.... love, love, love this book

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2017

I love Icicle Falls...Starting Over on Blackberry Lane every character could be my next store neighbor. Blackberry Lane tells the story of three women, all of whom are in different stages of their life. Shelia has a distinct way of weaving the characters together. I love the hometown feeling of this book. More often than not, I can pick my favorite character in the book, this time around, I couldn't decide who I liked more. You will engage with three very different, but yet alike women. I think if I had to pick one it would be Cass. She made me want to know what happens to her... I believe the sentence I liked best was..... "The curtain has gone up on new lives for all three of you."
If you want a great read, please, please , please don't hesitate to pick this book up. Besides the good read, Shelia gives you three great recipes to try, trust me, the Apple Stir-Fry is to die for....

Enjoyed this book greatly. Loved the friendship of Cass, Griffin, Stef, and Charley. The characters made you feel as if you were right there with them thru Stef's wrecked house and Cass' bad roof! Then mr. Honey Do comes to town to repair the houses, and also to start a romance with Cass. Anyone who likes women's fiction will like this book!
