I came across this book on GoodReads, on a list called something like "romances set in a small town," and I am so glad I did!
So far, it is my favorite book of the summer!
So far, it is my favorite book of the summer!
Here's the blurb:
The perfect daughter. The perfect prom queen. The perfect wife. Jenny Tolliver’s been the good girl all her life, and it’s gotten her nowhere. Now that her marriage has been busted up by her cheating ex, she’s decided it’s time to regroup and rediscover herself. This summer she’s headed back to her hometown of Destiny, Ohio, to the very lakeshore cottage where she grew up, to figure out what life holds in store for her next.
She never dreamed the answer would be Mick Brody, Destiny’s #1 hellraiser. He comes from the wrong side of the tracks (or in his case, the lake), and he’s landed in hot water more times than he can count. He’s exactly the kind of guy Jenny’s always kept her distance from … but soon the good girl and the bad boy are caught in a raw heat that’s out of control. Too bad Mick’s got a secret that threatens to tear them apart and ruin Jenny’s perfectly, passionately reckless summer …
Sounds good, right??
It was published in 2009, so it's not a new release, but I still feel like I "discovered" something. It includes some of my favorite Romance Novel tropes:
- girl has a douchy ex to get over
- girl returns home after years in the big city
- girl returns to her small town
- small town, apple pie, town picnic, etc.
- mysterious bad boy with a heart of gold
- reformed bad boy
- hot, steamy, sex scenes
- reconnection with a person from the past
- summer lovin'
- characters from two different worlds
- and more
I LOVED this book, and I am currently reading book #2 in the series, Sugar Creek.
My Rating 5/5
