This book is the second one in the series. That said, know it's a stand alone.
This story gives us the story of two women, both with difficult pasts. Joy came from a privileged family who abandoned her, while Maris from one that struggled with poverty and alcoholism.
Joy and Maris have built new lives at the Summer Resort . After keeping to themselves for 6 years, they start a friendship so special that they are now “sisters of the heart”.
As the story progresses, we see them blossoming , especially as they find someone special in their lives.
Aside from the plot, it’s a story about families. Reminding us that sometimes the family that we create with close friendships, are stronger and closer than the one you are born into.
I was entrusted a copy of this book by Netgalley. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

I expected an engaging tale.....but was totally blown away. Ms. Foster's ability to engage one's emotions, and invest you in her tale shine brightly in Sisters Of Summer's End.
We are given front row seats to the working of the minds of the main characters and even a few of the lesser ones.
Single mother, Joy Lee lives her life completely centered around her five year old son Jack, and the job at the RV resort park that enabled her to keep him safe and happy. Maris Kennedy runs the camp store. Raised in poverty, she works hard and constantly to ensure her future.
Cooper Cochran, owner of the park, fell for Maris at first site, but she refuses to take him seriously.
Royce Nakirk bought the drive-in near the park, hoping to fix it up and make it profitable again and hoping a connection to the park will help.
These are the main five characters and their interactions are a joy to read. With Ms. Foster's vivid imagination and insight to human character, she fill the pages with humor and romance along with the reminder that each of us views life from a different perspective.
Vivid descriptions of people, places and objects in the scenes created movie like scenes in my mind. I resented having to put it down, even for short periods of time, but also resented arriving at the end I strove so hard to reach. I have already told friends to pre-order or jump on it the first day, especially those who exclusively read print.
I requested and received a NetGalley ARC and recommend it highly. If you enjoy contemporary romance with a bit of humor, do not miss this book.

Cooper Charm would be a wonderful place to visit and, especially, live. It, also, proves that you don’t have to related by blood to be a family. I liked that there two love stories going on at the same time. Not sure who had more issues to deal with: Royce and Joy or Maris and Daron. As usual, Ms Foster has written a story that makes you want to know more about the characters and their backstories. If you’re looking for an entertaining read, especially on vacation, this should be on your list.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more by this author.

Joy is a divorced, single mother of a beautiful little boy, Jack. She has worked as the recreational director for the lodge for six years and has kept to herself. Being friendly but not making friends. Royce is the new owner if the drive in next door and is ready to live his life again. He’s bought a house next to the drive in and will fix it up after he gets the drive in up and running. Joy has a meeting with Royce to hopefully continue the extra celebrations they used to do with the previous owner. With a push from Maris, who runs the store at the campground, she goes after Royce for a fling. When her mother shows up telling her that she was left something by her grandmother, Joy is a wreck. Her parents are rich and disinherited her when she was pregnant with Jack and she hasn’t heard or seen them since. Will Royce take his head out of his butt and tell Joy how he feels? Excellent story. Jack is so precious and funny. Maris fights her feelings for Daron until Joy calls her out on them. Joy and Royce are perfect together. Steamy sex and an adorable pup. Lori’s books pulls you in from the very first page. * Voluntarily read and reviewed this for NetGalley *

SISTER'S OF SUMMER'S END by Lori Foster is a wonderful story about love and family. Joy a single mom and Royce a new business owner, along with Jack are the focus of the story. Joy is the recreation director at a RV resort. Royce owns the drive in next to the resort. The resort is where Joy has built a life for herself and Jack her son. The people that work there are family to them. This story is an incredible journey with wonderful characters, it will leave you with a smile. Definitely a five 🌟 read!

Sisters of Summer's End is the perfect romance to read this summer! I loved getting to revisit Cooper's Charm and seeing Maris and Joy find love.
