Love, Loudly
It's been a year since Zooey Blake left her picture-perfect marriage for something far scarier, freedom. Now she's a single mom of four, living in her grandparents' creaky old house with no dishwasher, a propane tank she barely knows how to operate, and a cat with an attitude problem. Between PTA meetings, late-night laundry, and learning how to be her own kind of happy again, Zooey's rebuilding a life that finally feels like hers. What she's not looking for is a man. Especially not one from a dating app. But after one disastrous blind date and a bottle of pumpkin spice wine, she meets Tate - a loud-laughing, flannel-wearing warehouse manager with two kids, a soft heart, and a talent for showing up exactly when she forgets she deserves it. He's patient where her ex was dismissive, funny where life's been hard, and when he says he'll love her loudly, he means it. Now Zooey's learning that healing doesn't always come in silence. Sometimes it comes wrapped in laughter, in pancakes the size of your head, in texts that make you blush at the grocery store, and in a man who makes you believe that love isn't quiet after all. Warm, witty, and full of heart, Love, Loudly is a story about starting over, embracing chaos, and finding the kind of love that doesn't whisper - it roars.
