I adored Kelsey and Sean. They are both fun and have their own reasons as to why this thing they have going on has to be just a fling. Kelsey is smart, funny, and doesn't exactly know what she wants to do with her life. After losing her father she's adrift. She does everything she can to keep from falling for Sean, but it's hard to do when he's as sweet and caring as he is. Sean is set to follow in the family tradition after his last summer of being a lifeguard. But all that could change when he meets Kelsey. He's immediately attracted to her, but feels like she could be more than just a summer conquest.

 


Review
Leigh and Nick are both intense characters. Leigh is going through some things that she hasn't told anyone. SHe's worried about how things are going to change. Nick is in the process of looking for another job, and trying to take care of his grandfather after the loss of his grandmother. Nick and Leigh's first meeting is pretty disastrous. Even with everything going on, they manage to keeps things light for the most part. They both have their own problems but get lost in each other.

 


Review
Things really start to sizzle with Storme and Holden. They are both a force to be reckoned with. Storme thinks Holden is a beach bum, and he doesn't let her think any different. Holden thinks Storme is a snobby rich girl. Oh the sparks when these two are in the same area are amazing. They want to yell at each other almost as much as they want to make out. I love these two, and they definitely create some heat! Storme has a lot to figure out about herself, and luckily Holden wants to push her to make her own decisions. So much freaking chemistry!

 

This is the perfect series to wind down on the last days of summer. They are snarky, sweet, fun, intense, and just all around great beach reads!

This is one of the books in the Hot in the Hamptons novella trilogy that chronicles the last summer three newly graduated friends share before starting their post college lives.

Kelsey isn't sure what's next for her. Her plans for the summer are sun, fun, and relaxation before she has to make any big decisions or try to figure out how to finance her next step. Never does she expect to meet someone like Sean Dempsey. Local boy, lifeguard, hot as hell but he turns out to be so much more. After watching her mother suffer during her father's deployments and ultimately his death, she's vowed never to get involved in a military man.

At first glance, Sean is sure Kelsey is just like all the other rich summer girls. He couldn't have been more wrong. She's sexy, beautiful, kind, and deserving of so much more than he can give. He knows he needs to tell her he's leaving at the end of the summer. What will she do when she finds out he has enlisted in the Marines?

This is an excellent sexy read with characters that have such chemistry it jumps from the pages. It's definitely a book I highly recommend.… (altro)

I tend not to like romance books where the two love interests start out expressing their interest in each other by antagonizing one another right out of the starting gate, so I've deducted half a star. If some guy talked to me like that, I'd be like "later, dude..." However, once the 'design' part of the underlying HGTV-style 'Love by Design' home remodeling show starts and there are legitimate -reasons- for those sparks to fly, this book takes off into a light-hearted, fun, and terribly saucy read that will have you flipping the pages and giggling at odd, random moments that will leave the people around you wondering, 'what ... is that woman with the e-reader daft in the head?' It took me a couple of chapters to warm up up to the two main characters (and those chapters were thankfully brief), but once it took off, it was a fun ride (literally 3:-) ).

Save a horse!!! 4.5 stars...… (altro)
