Title: Secrets of the Lost SummerAuthor: Carla Neggers
Where I got it: From NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review
Amazon Summary:
A wave of hope carries Olivia Frost back to her small New England hometown nestled in the beautiful Swift River Valley. She's transforming a historic home into an idyllic getaway. Picturesque and perfect, if only the absentee owner will fix up the eyesore next door.…
Dylan McCaffrey's ramshackle house is an inheritance he never counted on. It also holds the key to a generations-old lost treasure he can't resist…any more than he can resist his new neighbor. Against this breathtaking landscape, Dylan and Olivia pursue long-buried secrets and discover a mystery wrapped in a love story…past and present.
My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed the mystery and multiple love story theme in Secrets of the Lost Summer. Olivia gets fantastically burned in her current career, and elects to move home to work on making her dream of opening a getaway location in her hometown a reality. She meets Dylan when she asks him to clean up the mess on his property, which he didn't even realize was his.
Turns out, there's a pretty sweet and instant attraction between the two of them... And a mystery to boot! The book alternates between the present, and diary type entries into the past and the history of the area. I loved both aspects, and found the development of both the relationship, and the mystery, to be very well done. This isn't a super mind bending read, but it's a fun and sweet story that will keep you guessing what's going on until the very end.
