Small Town Love by Susan Meier is book 4 in the Paradise Key series. It´s the last book in the 4 book series.
It´s set in the town of Paradise Key and with this series it´s a good idea to read all the books.
To me it was lacking in a few departments to make it a great romance novel, and I like it when I can read the books in a series as stand alone stories.

Evie lives in Philadelphia as an anchor on a morning show. When her estranged father gets arrested she is told to take a leave of absence until things settle down. She heads back to Paradise Key to hide out. She ends up working on the weekly video the mayor does to promote visitors. Although their attraction is strong - she knows the mayor is off limits. Not only is he a widower with a daughter, his life is there and hers is in Philadelphia. When her father decides to hide out in the same small town things heat up between Evie and Pax. Will they find true love or will she go back to her old life? Great read.

I enjoyed this book, what's not to love about a small town. Besides the gossip and everyone knowing your business. LOL LOL....... This story is about 4 friends who get together for a friends funeral. Evie a well known talk show hosts needs to hide out for a bit due to some trouble her father gets in. Where else would you hide out but in a small town.

Evie now bored with nothing to do decided to help out a friend, which involves managing the towns website and doing weekly interviews with the sexy towns mayor. She is instantly drawn to the mayor , but keeps fighting it as she has no time in her life for a man.

The mayor's wife had pasted away a few years back and he is left with raising their daughter, Which he has really know clue what he is doing. Evie to the rescue. She forms a bound with this little girl and the fun and games begin.

This is the final book in the series but can be read as a standalone although I think they are better read in order if you get the chance. I really enjoyed Evie's book, after her con artist dad is indicted she heads out to Paradise Key to lay low from the press and be with her friends. when she gets there she gets a job working with the Mayor's advertising campaign and she decides to help the town that the mayor Pax should be the face of Paradise Key. The attraction between these two was really strong and their book was a really fun read.

Small Town Love by Susan Meier is an interesting take on 'the sins of the father fall upon his innocent child'. The reader is introduced to Evelyn Barclay, a popular local entertainment personality, who has returned to resume her job after being away to be with friends mourning the death of another friend. As she reports back to work she is hit with a scandal brewing and soon to be announced that will affect her job and relationship with the network. Her boss suggests she hide out somewhere until the scandal blows over. Evelyn once again returns to be with her friends in Florida to lay low and regroup. While in Paradise Key, Florida she agrees to produce a small town 'what's happening in' video. Evelyn has to interact with the town's mayor, Paxton James. Paxton rents Evelyn a cottage he has refurbished, so she doesn't have to while her time away in a Bed and Breakfast. Meanwhile her father shows up trying to remain under the radar and make amends to his daughter. I highly recommend this as a summer beach read. It's easy reading with interesting subject matter and a highly enlightening ending.

Even though this is the fourth book in the Paradise Key series, it reads well as a stand alone. The story was engaging from the onset, with interesting secondary characters...including all the couples from the previous books in the series...weaved in to keep the story interesting and moving smoothly. The romance was laced with humorous banter, an original plot with unexpected twists, and dialog that was easy to loose your self in. There were also several tender moments between Pax and his tween age daughter Sam that tugged at the heartstrings. Over all this is a heartwarming story that leaves you wanting more stories in the series.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

This is the fourth and final book in the Paradise Key series and Evie and Pax's story. Well written and easy to read. Great characters and plot. A nice wrap-up to the series. Can be read as a standalone - but more enjoyable with the series.

Fun read, I really enjoyed the chemistry between Evie and Pax. I hadn’t read any others in the series but I wasn’t lost or confused as to what was going on. A solid story with a great cast of characters and great writing.

This book is the 4th & final book in the series & it was a great story to end the series with though it can be read as a stand alone.

There were 5 girlfriends who would visit each other every year in Florida. However one died & the 4 met up again to reconnect with each other & to mourn the loss of their friend. In Small Town Love Evelyn is trying to get away from her father, after he is indicted for insider trading & goes to back to Paradise Key. She gets a job with a friend but then finds out that she is in charge of the mayor, Pax.

Pax doesn't want to have anything to do with the video Evelyn needs to produce for the city but he also knows he needs to do it. While they were working together they grew close. Pax was having issues with his daughter & Evelyn could relate as she had had issues with her own father. The more Pax gets to know Evelyn the more he realizes they have more in common than he thought.

I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy. This is book #4 in the series and it does not disappoint the reader. Evie, has major issues with men and commitment. An unfortunate event lands Evie and her dad - whom she is not speaking to, in the small town of Paradise Key at the same time. Along comes Pax to save the day and the woman! A great, quick beach read.

Evelyn just can not get away from her dad and his mistakes. After finding out he's is being indicted she heads back to Paradise Key where she can hide from the press and spend time with her friends she has always felt like family. Pax has always loved Paradise key but now he is being pulled in every direction when the Pistol Evie decides he needs to be the face of Paradise Key whether he likes it or not. They have this attraction and both are healing can they come together or will it be too much for both of them and they are better off as friends?
I have read this series from the beginning and I just love these four girls they are fun and unique in there own ways and that goes with Evie as well. I loved Sam she is a pistol even though she is 12 she was just so easy to love reading about. I feel like while reading I was catching up with friends. Pain and forgiveness is a funny thing sometimes you have to get through the pain to get to the forgiveness and that was very much the case in this book. Both Evie and her Dad needed to stop dancing around each other and face the pain head on so they can get to the forgiveness to get to the living. This book was so worth the read and super fun. Some adult language but very mild. Grab this book you won't regret it.

This was such a sweet romance. I enjoyed Evie and Pax's journey and Sam made it so much more special. I will be reading the rest of the series.

Small Town Love by Susan Meier. This is Evelyn "Evie" Barclay and Paxton "Pax" James' story.

This was a sweet story with some misunderstands and drama. Despite the chemistry and attraction between Evie and Pax they still are hesitant to take a chance on a relationship. Pax is concerned with raising his daughter, being mayor, and his businesses. Evie is afraid to put her heart on the line. Will these two take a chance on love?

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Loved this story and the characters. When you think you are on the top of your world, it can change in a heartbeat. Who you are is what you do in this type of circumstance. It’s always good to have wonderful friends to both help you out and give you a hard time. I personally would love to visit Paradise Key, FL and just hang out with all my new friends. Check it out and see if you wouldn’t like to join us.

I really enjoyed reading Summer to Love by Susan Meier, book four in The Paradise Key series. I loved seeing Pax and Evie grow closer as Evie saw the trials and tribulations facing a single dad of a teen daughter in a new light and helped Pax’s daughter learn the tricks of using make-up, dressing appropriately, and hair styles fitting for her. When Evie’s dad turns up in Paradise Key it threatens to send her into hiding again and ruin her budding relationship with Pax. Pax knew exactly how to help Evie and her dad make peace as well as help her find a happy ever after with him and not losing who she is.

This was a fun book to read and easy to visualize the story as it occurred. I totally loved these characters and didn’t want to put this book down. Ms. Meier did a fantastic job creating her characters, keeping the story interesting, making me forget the world around me and not letting me go until I turned the last page, wanting more. I highly recommend this book to other reader and am sorry that this series has now ended.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

A quick, fun, beach read with great characters and a little drama. Although I found this book to be an enjoyable read, I did find that for me, it was missing something but can't seem to put my finger on what. This story does have a slow burn romance between our two main characters Pax and Evie, that was fun to read about. I also enjoyed the relationship between Evie and Pax's daughter, Sam. We find that Evie, Pax, and Sam all have things in common with one another.

This is a wonderful book to get lost in, its characters or easy to care about, the main one Evie is so nice and has had a rough life, for a rich girl and Pax, he’s a widower who really loved his wife, and after five years he should be ready to move on, but is he? And then there is Samantha, Pax’s twelve year old daughter and she really needs a woman in her life and warms to Evie right away.
So it has romance, family feuds and family ties, friends, a small town feel, oh yes a well written plot and hay a beach, what more does it need? You to read it for your getaway.

This is the first book I have read by Susan Meier. I could feel the love in the small town of Paradise Key, Florida where Evie Barclay goes to hide after her father is going to be arrested for SEC violations It was not her choice to hide out but the station where she has a talk show does not want her to work until the case with her father is resolved. I really like how Evie's character grows while she is in Florida and how she gets to find out who she truly is. She also develops close friendships that will change her life. She will finally take the walls down and enjoy life for who she is and not what people expect her to be. I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.

Small Town Love is a well written romance. I enjoyed the plot, characters and setting. I also liked the author’s writing and will be reading more of her books. I recommend to fans of a good romance.

Loved this sweet romance between Evie and Pax, neither looking for love. Evie has a problem with trust issues and has returned to Paradise Key, to hide from her father, low and behold he shows up there too. Her father has costed her , her job. Pax is a single dad raising his twelve year old daughter after the death of his wife a few years back, the love of his life. Evie does not do forever until she meets Pax and Samantha, can they change her mind on happily ever after.

Loved these characters!! Both very true to life and just good people. This is the last book in the series, but they can all be read as a stand alone. It's sad to say good bye to this fun beach town. I highly recommend this book, for you perfect beach read this summer.
