A ridiculously good-looking playboy, Donovan immediately gets under Riley\u2019s skin, and she can\u2019t wait to be rid of the house, the dog, and Port Henry. Dr. Hunter, on the other hand, can\u2019t get enough of Riley\u2019s sass and how different she is from the usual summer crowd.<\/p>\n As the summer passes and Dr. Hunter runs out of made-up reasons to get Riley and Scrappy back into the office, he cooks up a new plan to catch her attention, setting a plan in motion to get the girl, and the dog.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Caisey Quinn – Summer Seduction<\/strong> When her mom\u2019s violent temper and recent diagnosis send her dad packing, she\u2019s left to take care of her little brother alone.<\/p>\n Forget basking in the sunshine, she\u2019s busy working full-time and taking summer classes at the local college so she can graduate high school. Until her friend drags her to a carnival where she runs smack into him.<\/p>\n The blue-eyed Adonis from her art history class.<\/p>\n Aiden Singleton isn\u2019t looking for anything more than a meaningless hook-up. Finishing his graduate degree so that he can teach history and coach hockey in the fall, he\u2019s got plenty on his plate without any added complications. But when a blond-haired beauty needs his help, all he can say is yes.<\/p>\n Aiden knows he and Emersyn share something special. What he doesn\u2019t know is that they also share a secret, one that could fracture both of their futures forever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Heidi McLaughlin – By The Seaside<\/strong> Kelly Taft is moving back to her hometown, Gray, North Carolina. Back to her family, back to her friends \u2014 back to some good memories and back to some memories that were not so good. In fact, she\u2019s never gotten over that one horrible day that sent her running in the first place.<\/p>\n Danielle Pearl – Love\u2019s a Beach<\/strong> Liza Farrell is a townie and she has no qualms about it. It\u2019s her quasi-boyfriend who has issues with the \u201csummer people\u201d and at this point she wishes he wasn\u2019t her boyfriend at all.<\/p>\n With college looming just a couple of months away, she couldn\u2019t be more eager to begin the next stage of her life. That is, until Noah Reed returns to town, shaking up both her present, and her future.<\/p>\n Absent for the past couple of years, Noah has grown into pure perfection. All man now, just his presence makes it clear that Liza\u2019s current situation simply isn\u2019t what she wants. When Liza and Noah reconnect, they have more between them than either could have predicted, but when their pasts rear up in a frightening, violent crash, will they find a future together, or just accept that love is a\u2026 beach?<\/p>\n Katy Regnery – Single in Sitka<\/strong> When Seattle journalist, Amanda McKendrick, pitches a new story about the increase of bear attacks in Sitka, her newspaper sends her north for two weeks. While there, she answers the personal ad of single dad, Luke Kingston, looking for a little no-strings-attached fun to pass the time.<\/p>\n But the sweet, widowered father of three\u2014who just happens to be a smokin\u2019 hot state trooper\u2014turns out to be a lot more than Amanda bargained for. As the days go by, she wonders if it\u2019ll be possible to return to Seattle without leaving her heart behind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Shari J. Ryan – The Secret at Sunset<\/strong> When Amanda and her coworker pitch a new story to her newspaper, Amanda finds herself heading to Sitka, Alaska to research the \u201cbear problem.\u201d She has a lot of work to do before the column goes live so she knows she\u2019ll be busy collecting data but she figures she has some time to answer a personal ad. He\u2019s a single dad who is looking for some fun himself, and just what Amanda needs to get over her cheating ex. What could go wrong with a little no-strings-attached fun that has an end date? Find out in Single in Sitka<\/i>!<\/p>\n Amanda answers Luke\u2019s \u201cSingle in Sitka\u201d ad and meets up with him in a local hotel bar. The attraction is immediate and their want is palpable. Amanda isn\u2019t looking for anything serious and Luke is only trying to get out after losing his wife so they settle for causal fun during the time she is in town.<\/p>\n And fun they have! They fit so well together, and even though they have different experiences with relationships it feels like they are on the same page. I believed the chemistry, connection, and feels. I could see them growing closer and I knew that hearts would be involved. They are both good people who are genuinely nice and they couldn\u2019t help but fall for each other.<\/p>\n Luke is such a great dad and cares what his children think. He isn\u2019t ready to dive into anything serious and I totally understood his conflict when his feelings start to strengthen. Amanda was hurt and needs a rebound but she never imagined falling for a single father in Alaska. She\u2019s enjoying their fun but she finds herself wanting more when she gets to know Luke better.<\/p>\n I kiss him like I would if he belonged to me and I belonged to him, and when he draws away, he looks into my eyes with such vulnerability, such naked sincerity, it almost makes me cry.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I loved Amanda and Luke together and I was rooting hard for a happily-ever-after. When Amanda heads back to Seattle at the end of her two week visit, it is heartbreaking. I wanted them to be together and I know they are what the other needs even if it\u2019s hard to take a chance.<\/p>\n Amanda and Luke\u2019s story is far from over, though. We are given just a taste of what they can be in the One Hot Summer<\/i> anthology. Their journey concludes when the full book is release in October, and I can\u2019t wait. I want more of Amanda and Luke and their sweet and steamy romance.<\/p>\n 4 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n *ARC\u00a0generously provided by Buoni Amici Press in exchange for an honest review*\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
