One Hot Summer

I received this book through netgalley for a honest and fair review

This was such a great book! I was honestly swept away by the sweetness and read the book without realizing how much time went past.

I should probably confess, I love romance in books. I don't need it but, it is like a breath of air in the book for me. I generally don't read strictly romance books, though. This book is making me rethink that.

This book takes place in England but, the main guy love interest is a ‘cowboy' from the US of A. At first I wasn't sure how to take that. I might have groaned while thinking of how stereotypical the book was going to get. It didn't. Well, okay there are a lot of things which were overdone but, they were used as a comedy factor! I didn't realize I would laugh in this book but, I did! And I loved Robinson's character.

Speaking of comedy, that brings me to the village. Now, this is the part I'm sure people will either love or hate. Personally, I love it. I love goofy, silly characters. Absolutely absurd, at times, which make them seem unrealistic! Yet, I love it.
I did think the side romance came out of nowhere...and was weird but, I went with it without thinking too much because it was really like the characters

I thought the romance flowed well and wasn't super instantaneous. Really built up a bit.
The conflict was sad and made me connect to the characters more.

I thought parts were really realistic which I absolutely loved (i.e. when Alice goes to the bank) but there was still a lot of unrealistic events which made the book charming and cute.

This was such a sweet read and one I will definitely be re-reading in the future. Perhaps next summer on a hot day ^_^

Recommendation? Oh, yes. If you would like to read a fun, quirky, and adorable book this is one I would definitely tell someone to read.
Read it ‘N Smile!
