That Chesapeake Summer
ByPublisher Description
From New York Times bestselling author Mariah Stewart comes the latest book in her celebrated Chesapeake Diaries, a small-town romance series in the tradition of Barbara Freethy, Susan Mallery, and Robyn Carr.
Jamie Valentine is the wildly successful author of self-help books advocating transparency in every relationship. But when her widowed mother passes away unexpectedly, Jamie discovers her own life has been based on a lie. Angry and deeply betrayed, she sets out to find the truth—which may be in a small town on the Chesapeake Bay. Cutting her most recent book tour short, Jamie books a room at the Inn at Sinclair’s Point, just outside St. Dennis.
The death of Daniel Sinclair’s father forced him to take over the family inn, and his wife’s death left him a single parent of two children, so there’s little room for anything else in his life. His lovely new guest is intriguing, though, and he’s curious about the secret she’s clearly hiding. But in the end, Jamie and Dan could discover the greatest truth of all: that the search for one thing just might lead to the find of a lifetime—if you keep your heart open.

“The sudden death of her mother has left Jamie Valentine feeling lost. As a successful author of self-help books focusing on honesty, Jamie was devasted to finds out that her life was based upon a lie.
Searching through papers in her parents' office, Jamie learns that she was adopted. Without any idea this was the case, Jamie decides to search for her birth mother and learn the truth.
Pairing a trip to the town her birth mother was from with an alleged vacation, Jamie travels to the small Chesapeake Bay town of St. Denis in an attempt to find the truth.
This was the first book I read in this series, and despite it being book 9, I felt that it flowed seamlessly.
4 out of 5 stars.
I received an advanced copy from the author, publisher, and NetGalley; and I am voluntarily leaving an unbiased review.”

“SPOILERS
I have a lot to say about this book.. I am really disappointed because I do like Mariah Stewart but this book just wasn't good. First off there is a 50% percent chance that Dan's mother could be her mother, she knows for a fact that her birth mother went to the same school as Dan's and yet she STILL PURSUES A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM!! Also the book was trying so hard to make Dan out to be a good dad but he's not at all. He literally only sees his daughter as a sex object for teenage boys! When he was commenting on her dress being too short even though there were two women say "No it's age appropriate" it made me feel so icky!! Dan and Jamie's entire relationship made me feel icky, I love a romance where I can push the main character to pursue happiness and be in love but I couldn't because I really thought they could have been siblings so anytime there was something romantic I wanted to barf. I really don't think someone who is looking for their birth mother would be pursuing romantic relationships with someone who could most definitely be related to them... She went to that small town knowing any older woman could be her mother, ITS A SMALL TOWN... I just really didn't like the book and it was hard to not put this in the DNF pile.”
