I think I missed the second in this series. Hannah and Owen were great together but I still felt like I was missing something.

I enjoyed the first book in the serie, but this one fell short for me.
It was just not enjoyable and fun.. it ended up being just boring and awkward.
No chemistry between the characters.

At this time, as I am guessing is obvious by the publication date that was literally years ago, I have decided not to review this title.

Technically, I made this decision a while ago, but was not as prompt with sending feedback as I should have been. My apologies for the delay, as well as clogging up your inbox with this very late review response.

As always, while incredibly late, I thank you for the opportunity to read and review one of your titles.

After reading the first two in the series, I knew to expect the author to weave mysteries in and out of the story. Hannah and Owen reconnect in this one when she comes to his families office building for a meeting with a lawyer. The attraction is still there so they work to keep up the start of the relationship while she goes back to her camp for adults run by her and her friends while he works at the office. They end up dealing with so much! Threatening notes, her controlling parents, his missing dad and an explosion to name a few. We finally get some answers as to why the Costa's dad went missing. It is way more complicated than you can imagine. Can't wait to read the next books to see what kind of stories the last Wildflowers get.
I received an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion. If you like romance and mystery then this is for you!

What an awesome addition to the series. Time for Hannah and Owen's story which gives us some mystery, danger and some sizzling sex. This story shows us how the Camp continues to grow and we still get to see all the other characters from the previous books however this is more focused on the mystery of missing Leo Costas. As Hannah and Owen's romance grows and blossoms they both also face danger with receiving menacing threats. Leo suddenly arrives back in town and things quickly escalate with murder attempts. Even though I guessed who the "baddie" was it was still interesting seeing how everything unfolded. An entertaining read.

This author is one I don't specifically seek out but always enjoy reading, and this book fell squarely into that bucket for me.

As soon as I finished this one, I downloaded the first two books in Sanders Wildflower series. Great, sexy, fun reads. Highly recommend.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

this was a steamy and fun book to read. i really enjoyed my time reading this and i hope that you'll pick it up soon!!

Jill Sanders is one of my favorite go to authors and Summer Secrets doesn’t disappoint! I would highly recommend reading books 1 & 2 in the Wildflower series also! Thanks to Netgalley & Author Jill Sanders for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an ho eat Review! A highly recommended BEACH READ! 🏖

Owen’s real last name is Costa and he is not only searching for his missing father, but also the large sum of money that is missing. When he has to leave the camp, Hannah wonders what went wrong. When they reconnect later, how can she trust him? Owen’s family troubles come to a head and Hannah is caught up in the situation. Can they finally solve all of their problems and take that second chance at love? I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

Realistic characters, great romantic scenes. This is book three and I honestly believe these just get better. I always enjoy a Jill Sanders novel and this wasn't any exception. Just as well written and engaging as the first two books in this series.

I have only read one of the previous books, so I can't tell you if it is the best or not, but it is my favorite of the two I have read. As always, Jill Sanders' writing is excellent. Definitely would recommend to my friends.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the third book in the series – and I would recommend that you read them in order, as the story is ongoing. The first two run concurrently, which was very effective at giving us the story from two viewpoints. Here, the same timed element of Hannah's story is explained in a prologue, and then we catch up – I have to admit I found it a little clunky, but as I knew the previous installments, maybe it was just because it was known to me. Once the story picks up in current time it was excellent, and I read it pretty much in one sitting.

Hannah has a truly awful set of parents – just wait until you realise just how unpleasant they are. The fact that she knows this and has come to terms with it – as best as any child can – does not make their behaviour any less repugnant. Her true family are the four 'sisters' that she met at camp aged 11, and who now live and work together. I love how their adults only camp has grown into a reality, and after stopping the worst swinging excesses, they are making a fabulous success of running the camp. It may be a little slow at generating serious income, but it is a wonderful place to work, and once again is saving Hannah from the unhappiness of being in her family business.

As any fan will know, the Costa brothers have been trying to find their father and save their business. He has now finally turned up, and the drama unfolds in some very unexpected ways. I did guess at the perpetrator, but enjoyed the tension which was developed through the story. So many times I had to stop reading for a second or two, as I did not want anything bad to happen to someone I cared about. On occasion my wishes came true, on others I had to just buckle up and cope with the ride that Sanders delivered.

I loved the descriptions of the two big parties, and how Hannah created the illusions needed to pull off a really memorable party. It was fun to catch up with fantastic Chef, Isaac, and, most of all, see Owen and Hannah get the very best happily ever after that they deserve.

The brothers may now all be spoken for but there are still two Wildflowers who deserve their happily ever afters too... so I am very much looking forward to future installments!

Great book and fantastic read! Jill sanders always has a way of weaving a great, memorable story! She’s one of my go-to authors that I stalk

Summer Secrets
By: Jill Sanders

In the third book in the Wildflowers series we get a look at Hanna and Owens love story and it doesn’t disappoint. The author writing is flawless, and the words are so captivating, the plot had so many twists and turns and none that I was expecting, and many shockingly intimate I have become a huge fan of this author. She writes with so much intensity and emotion pulled from each book it’s felt page after page. Some are quick witted story lines are so perfect and lets you believe you have a front row seat. So being able to read this love story didn’t disappoint. The authors ability to have two separate individuals struggling in their everyday life and try to navigate someone else’s thoughts, needs and desires was intense and gives all the fills.

Authors Blurb: For Hannah Rodgers, running an adult summer camp with her four best friends is the ideal distraction from her controlling family. She’s worked hard to become her own woman, but now her parents want to marry her off for business reasons. What is this, the Middle Ages? Hannah would much rather enjoy the sunny delights of camp and flirt with Owen Costa, the hunky help.
But Owen has his own scheme working behind those beautiful brown eyes: he and his brothers finagled camp jobs with the hope of tracking down their father, an eccentric billionaire prone to sudden disappearances. Though Owen was suspicious of the new camp owners at first, his relationship with Hannah deepens, and he gets waylaid from his mission.

But Owen’s troubles soon resurface, and duty calls him away just as Hannah shares a delicate secret, leaving her shattered. Can they get over their complicated lives long enough to enjoy the romance they both want?

This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕

This is the third book in this series and it was pretty good. Some parts were a little hard for me to get into but it was definitely worth the read. I really liked Owen. He was a hot one. Pretty good book.

Thank you Netgalley, the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Summer Secrets is the third book in the Wildflowers by Jill Sanders. The book is not exactly a stand-alone since a part of the plot is the continuation of the story from the previous books and I would recommend reading at least one of the previous books to get the chance fully enjoy this one.

While reading this book I got the impression that the tone of the book is different from the other two. It's a little more serious and the mystery behind the Costa father has finally progressed much more than it did in the previous two books. And for me, this is the best part of the book. The mystery behind the disappearance of Leo. I was not a big fan of Hanna and Owen's relationship and I found their romance lacking.

One thing I found also lacking was the part where Hannah's parents use her for business reasons. It is mentioned early in the book, but later it was pushed aside and I honestly cannot remember if it was brought up again later in the book. You see, I was expecting more from the book and after some point when the book did not met my expectations, I sort of gave up on it, until the suspense aspect of the story progressed.

Looking in the series overall, I saw a decline in my ratings for each book and I really hope that I will like the next book, which will probably be Scarlett's, more than I liked this one.

Summer Secrets by Jill Sanders is the 3rd book in the Wildflowers series, and this book was another fun addition. Five girls meet at summer camp as children, and become lifelong friends. The girls are now adults and have investigated in the camp they all met at. They have turn it into an adult sexy retreat. Three brothers have come to the camp, to get a job and to find their father. In this book Hannah Rodgers and Owen Costa are featured. I advice you read the books in order, but you won't be lost if you have not. I found this book to be a quick read and a lot of fun. I am looking forward to reading more books by this author, and hopefully more books in this series, there are two Wildflowers left. I highly recommend this book/series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

What a wonderful series. Hannah and Owen were great together as well as the rest of wildflowers. Can't wait for more in this series.

The third in the series, but my first time reading from this series. Hannah is running an adult summer camp with her friends. And Owen is spending his time trying to track down his father who keeps disappearing. Owen and his brother suspect Hannah and her friends may be tied to the father's disappearance. It's more than complicated as Hannah and Owen try to ignore the attraction between the two of them at first.

There's a good amount of suspense, and even more sweet moments. I enjoyed the characters enough that I went back to read the first two books in the series!
