|Thoughts|
This is my 3rd book in the Falling For Summer series and it has me falling for the swoony leading men. Get a thrill out of how the characters and storyline’s cross over between the books. It seems like most romances are blossoming at the same time, so you get different perspectives on their romance. 

Loved the tension that built better Gemma and Beau as he tries to get her to see the magic on the island. 

“Did that Palmer boy blackmail you into going out with him?”

Beau is the picture perfect version of a golden retriever and it’s sweet to see him through Gemma’s eyes, as she literally records him for a promo.  Although he falls first, they both fall fairly fast for each other. 

“I didn’t just kiss Beau Palmer, I’m falling in love with him”

This book is part of the interconnected, Falling for Summer series. It can be read as a standalone or as part of the set. Events and characters cross over throughout each of the 7 books (so far I’ve read 3).  

Welcome to Sunset Harbour. Sunset Harbour is a fictional island off the west coast of Florida. Each book in the Falling For Summer series is set in this dreamy town. And uses cross over characters and events, creating fun connections throughout the series.
