Summer Loving

Two friends find each other again at the Beach House written by K.C. Luck. Thirty years may have gone by that has not stopped the feelings left over from summer crushes that were never spoken of. Luck brings the sparks to Abby and Toni, proving that love can come later in life and that we do get second chances.

TB Markinson counts on the Tropical Heat to bring a couple back together. Jamie books a much needed romantic vacation for her wife and her and at the last minute her wife chooses to handle a work emergency versus going. Jamie has had enough and ends their relationship via text message. Then goes on the vacation alone. Alex goes to Honduras looking to seduce the woman she loves and convince her that nothing means more to her than their relationship. When these two see each other across the bar, they cannot keep their hands off each other. Now can they each remember why they originally went there? (laugh) I ended up writing a synopsis versus a real review, but Markinson does bring the heat. I loved this story.

#MissedOpportunities is all about secret crushes and the times when we could have said something and we didn't. Erin Zak brings longing to another level. Remember those aching stomachs, banging heads, and how many “ughs!” have been said when those moments passed by when our crushes were right there and the moment hangs with potential. Zak wrings these moments out and some with comedic timing. This is a very cute rom-com where you might be nodding your head in remembrance and remembered empathy.
