One summer has the power to change everything.
One night, one choice, can alter life’s trajectory — cause the heart’s debris to slip and slide down the mountain.
After graduating college, rising photographer Annie Baxter relocates to South Beach, Florida.
A new start.
ONE CHOICE.
A chance to leave behind her anxiety, her grief, and prepare her photographs for display in an art gallery. Annie is determined to mend her heart in the sand and breathe, commune with the stars and beach and old friends.
Then Cal Prescott steps in front of her lens — a man twenty years her senior. An understated, sexy puzzle who may not wish to be solved. Cal is quiet. Strong. Eyes like the tides. Coming in, going out. Pulling her under.
They meet at a party.
ONE NIGHT.
The chemistry cannot be denied.
But they only have the summer.
ONE SUMMER.
One unforgettable connection.
But every June, July, and August must come to an end.
Rating: 3.5*
Ok so we have Annie who is trying to rebuild her life and follow her dreams as a photographer. She is young, talented and appears to be carefree. And we have Cal who is in town for a short period of time. He is serious, dominant and a lot older than Annie. Annie is able to portray herself as carefree to those around her but on the inside she is struggling and falling to pieces. Cal sees straight through this image that she portrays to her soul.
The writing style flowed nicely between the different points of view and was poetically descriptive. I did find it a little slow and a little repetitive at times. Overall I enjoyed this book but wanted things to move along slightly quicker than they did.
Bloggers from Down Under - "Just know this, Cal and Annie’s story is sure to stick with you, long after you’ve finished..." Love Romance Books - "A beautiful story. The writing will sweep you away.." Amazon Review - "Pure Poetry!"
A.R. Hadley writes imperfectly perfect sentences by the light of her iPhone.
She loves her husband.
Chocolate.
Her children.
And Cary Grant.
She annoys those darling little children by quoting lines from Back to the Future, but despite her knowledge of eighties and nineties pop culture, she was actually meant to live alongside the Lost Generation after the Great War and write a mediocre novel while drinking absinthe with Hemingway. Instead, find her sipping sweet tea with extra lemons on her porch as she weaves fictional tales of love and angst amid reality.
