Description
“She came to the beach to write… But she’s getting distracted by the surfer next door.
Jenna, a single mom and successful author, has five weeks to deliver her next young adult novel to the publisher. This year’s summer getaway with her kids will be a working vacation.
The only problem? Lucas, the devil-may-care surfer in the beach rental next to hers. He cranks up his music at night, hosts loud volleyball matches, and allows his dog to run around at will.
Jenna often blames him for her writer’s block. But before long, she begins to see a new side of her neighbor at the shore. Maybe opposites do attract…but will that attraction fade like a sunset once summer is gone?
This funny, emotional romance includes a free Hallmark original recipe for Shrimp Scampi.”
My Review:
If there was ever a perfect “read-while-I’m-on-vacation-summer-break” type of book, it’s this one. It’s a charming story of two people who thought they knew what they wanted from life, but discovered there was still so much more than they ever dreamed. This story has been made into a Hallmark movie and I enjoyed that when I watched it, but this book is better. The characters are more well-defined and the ending of the story has a little different twist than the movie that made for a sigh-worthy ending. The author makes the setting of the story come to life; Lucas and Jenna make a great couple; and I loved the fact that the kids have an important part of the storyline.
This is a sweet and clean book that I’d recommend to anyone who wants something light and entertaining to read. I’m looking forward to reading more books by Teri Wilson.
