About the book:
School teacher
Nicole Davis is on summer break, but this vacation is unlike any other. Her
beloved Grandmother’s final wish has landed Nicole smack in the middle of her favorite
destination – Sunriver, Oregon, following Grams’s clues on a mysterious
scavenger hunt. Unexpectedly, Nicole finds more than just a fellow sleuth in a
handsome police officer, Mark Stone. But Mark must return to his job in
Portland at summer’s end, and Nicole must guard her heart.
Mark is hoping
for a quiet summer in Sunriver as he contemplates his future in law
enforcement, but a string of burglaries draws him from his self-imposed break
from detective work and thrusts him into the middle of the investigation. To
complicate matters, Nicole is in jeopardy, and he knows his growing feelings
for her could cloud his judgment. Will their differing career goals be the end
of their summer romance – or just the beginning of forever after?
My review:
This is a sweet
contemporary romance.
The main
characters were well developed and easy to connect with. I really liked the
fact that they took time to get to know each other before any hint of romance
came into the picture. Both Nicole and Mark are dealing with issues from the
past that they need to deal with that make them hesitate to get too close. To
me this is very realistic since most people have past issues to work through at
any particular time in their life.
The only down
side for me in this story was that there wasn’t more of the scavenger hunt and
effort put into figuring out the clues. It was only a minor disappointment for
me so I didn’t take off from my star rating for it.
I am giving this
sweet story a rating of 5 stars and recommending it. It is perfect for a
relaxing summer day.
