Publisher Description

 

 

Connie Reyes grew up watching her single mom work tirelessly to raise her. She promised herself she would never fall into the same situation. But when she bumps into the way too tempting Jonathan Pierce at a wedding, it's hard to resist his charms. She's scared she'll fall for him –again -- and he's not the kind to stick around.

 

Jonathan's been haunted by memories of Connie ever since he left town after their failed summer romance. After returning to the Jersey Shore, he's determined to show Connie how much he's changed. But when their passion ignites, can it become something more permanent, especially when it leads to a surprise that neither of them saw coming...

What Happens in Summer Reviews

3.0
“Full Review: 3 Stars - I recommend if you enjoy contemporary romance, particularly "the one that got away" trope. Connie and Jonathan fell in love one summer in Sea Kiss, NJ. When Jonathan decides to drop out of college, Connie can't stay in a relationship with him. Connie's father left her when she was a child, and she knows that she needs a partner who is stable and responsible. Years later the two reunite when their friends get married, but they've both changed, can they make it work? I started reading this when house-buying was my main focus... and so it was hard to focus on the prologue (?). I ended up dreading it, because I felt like I wasn't "into it" ... but it was really just my pre-occupation with becoming a homeowner. LOL. So I restarted it, and it ended up going really quickly. I liked that Connie and Jonathan were so opposite, and I really enjoyed their chemistry at the beginning of the book. I will say that they got together pretty quickly, and it was a lot more about how they could make it work than a will they/won't they kind of situation. There were quite a few parts that felt really repetitive as well. Also, (SPOILER) the fact that the synopsis made it sound like she had a kid... but she didn't really spoiled that she ends up getting pregnant... so... that was too bad. Also, Connie's preoccupation with Jon's inability to choose things drove me absolutely bonkers. Let him be. LOL. I did really appreciate Connie and her friend's friendship. It was nice to see a group of girls rooting for and supporting each other. I loved that their discussions were not completely about the men in their lives, as well. My absolute favorite part of this book is when Connie goes to visit her mom. Their relationship is so nice, and I loved that her Cuban culture was sprinkled throughout the book. Honestly, I wanted more of that! I thought that some of the resolutions were pretty quick, (SPOILER) like between Jonathan and his dad. I was (SPOILER) frustrated with her for telling others about the baby before Jonathan...and also for proposing to him before telling him about the baby! YIKES. I did enjoy the Buffy reference. Lastly, yeah I was drawn in by the cute cover. I just wanted a fun summer read! :) Right After Reading: Cute, but pretty repetitive. Also the blurb is kind of spoilery! x_x I was given advance access to this title by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. These reviews are my own opinion, and based on the edition of the book I was given at the time. Thank you Netgalley”
