About the Book:
Two people. Two pasts. One summer to fall in love.
Caleb is a former professional surfer trying to build his life after a career-ending accident.
Lindy has moved to Loor island to start a new life, combing the shores for sea glass to weave into jewelry.
When the two meet, sparks fly – but not the good kind. Then they discover they’re neighbors, and they’re stuck with each other for one, long summer.
As they slowly learn to trust each other, and find themselves sharing their stories that brought them to Loor, their dislike begins to unravel into friendship, then maybe something more.
But will the weight of their pasts ruin their chance of a future?
My Review:
If you’re looking for a lovely, closed door romance to escape into this summer look no further! I This was light and easy to read and had a wonderful setting. I finished it in a day and a half. There are some moments to chuckle at, and I most enjoyed watching Lindy come into her own – it’s not a spoiler to say her life is a bit of a hot mess at the start of the book! Wonderful side characters are sprinkled throughout the small island that I’d love to have as my neighbors. And we can’t ignore that readers will meet Ted, an absolutely delightful dog in the history of dogs. I could easily imagine him and wanted to pet him! A fun slow-burn romance for summer!
