“To the summer of us!” The last man Addison Hollingsworth should be fantasizing about is her son’s childhood best friend. Fresh off a painful divorce and at odds with her adult son, Addison returns to her Alabama hometown in search of a new start. Buying a dilapidated hobby farm seems like the perfect way to rebuild her life. Her plan is simple: renovate the house, get some animals, and put the past behind her. Finding love is the last thing on her mind. Until her contractor walks through the door. All man now, Beckett Davis is far from the boy she remembers. He may be fifteen years younger, but the more time they spend together, the more determined he is to make her question all the reasons they shouldn’t be together. Along for the ride is Addison’s best friend, Isabelle. Trying to fix her own life that’s in shambles, Isabelle has no patience for Hunter, the neighbouring store owner who never misses a chance to get under her skin. But when their banter starts to feel like something more, her resentment begins to feel dangerously close to something else. Something that may force her to admit she doesn’t hate him as much as she pretends. With two unexpected romances and plenty of reasons to keep their hearts guarded, Addison and Isabelle are about to learn that it’s never too late for a second chance. Sweet, sexy, and steamy, That One Summer is a romance about friendship, starting over, and finding love in life’s second act. Tropes; Sons best friend Forced proximity Age gap Forbidden love And more but you have to read to find out! 18+ Contains coarse language and sexual scenes

Hester: Very good, was short too the point , not lingering on the abuse, pity you didn’t let him step in earlier knowing the abuse was happening, but this is almost real for some women who have gone through it, just wish they could all have a princess at te end of thete tunnel

Feliz: I am learning a lot about hockey because of the almost commentator-like transcript that is part of the storytelling style of the book. I like it. Coming from a country where there is no hockey culture, I am beginning to understand why it has so many fans.

lblomme: I always love a story where good overcomes evil. The sad start, the growth, and ultimate strength of the main character was well done. The story never lagged and ultimately delivered a happy ending even for characters who were less than stellar. Well done!

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
