Happy book release day to Lacey Black! Waiting for Love is the 11th book in The Love Vixen multi-author series, and it was such a cute read!
Not familiar with The Love Vixen? I wasn't either until this book. Here is what I have learned about this project/series.
Starting in January 2021 The Love Vixen series kicks off a year of LV books. Eleven amazing authors have been given the rights to develop Love Vixen inspired stories, each based on one of her most liked blog posts and to be released monthly.Disclaimer: The Love Vixen concept, letters, posts, and advice are works of fiction. The LV is not a licensed doctor or trained professional, or even a real person. The guidance she gives should probably not be followed because everything is made up by the authors.
So, what is Waiting for Love about? Well it is about Penelope and Theo. They are both single, they are neighbors, the work from home, and there is some serious hate to love/enemies to lovers going on. Theo builds furniture, so naturally his job is quite noisy. Meanwhile Penelope has a desk job that she does remotely, and quite is always preferred. One thing that we learn early on, is that both Theo and Penelope are attracted to the other. Yet they don't speak on it. It isn't until they suddenly find themselves attending the same wedding that things begin happening. Let's back up a bit though. Penelope is sick of being single. She has 7 really good friends, and they are ALL married (or about to be). She's done. So what does she do? She writes to The Love Vixen for some advice. And eventually she hears back. This is the story of what happens from that point on, including everything that happens during the wedding weekend and on.
I said it before, and I'll say it again, this was a cute story. I loved the Love Vixen part of the book. It reminds me of the Delilah radio show. Which I totally listened to on a nightly basis back during my single days. Then there was the hate to love slash enemies to lovers aspect. I loved that there was that tension, that frustration, that attraction. Then when the wedding happened? Oh yes please. But prior to that we had to sit through some slow burn, but it was worth it for the passion that flowed out of Theo and Pen. Everything about this story was just enjoyable. The book was a quick, easy read, and it held my attention throughout. That moment of conflict for our characters, egads, what a great choice for the dramatic effect. Then there was that grand gesture...FANTASTIC!
I really enjoyed this book from Lacey Black, and am curious about the other books in the Love Vixen series.

Dear Love Vixen,
You know the saying “always a bridesmaid, never a bride?” That’s me. I’ve stood beside six best friends, with the seventh to marry the man of her dreams in less than a month. I’ve tried everything, from dating apps to websites that promise to find you deep, meaningful love, only to set you up with a dud who leaves you with the whole check. So, I’m done. Throwing in the towel. Over dating. I’m just going to sit here and wait for it to show up on my doorstep like pizza delivery. I’m… Ugh! Sorry, my neighbor is horrible! I wish you could hear how loud and annoying he is. He’s the worst, even if he is slightly gorgeous. The problem is… he knows it. Anyway, back to my issue. I’m tired of looking for love in all the wrong places! (Wow, cue Johnny Lee.) Help!
Sincerely,
Waiting in Washington
Dear Lady in Waiting,
You’re going about this all wrong. Don’t think of it as giving up. Think of it as the perfect time to do some inner soul-searching and find out exactly who you are and what you have to offer those you love. You know I always say, you’ll never find love until you find yourself.
Sweetie, I wish I could tell you a timeline, but there isn’t one. Finding true love could take years or it could be closer than you think.
Good luck, hon!
The ♥️ Vixen
