Summer’s Road is mixed with romance, heartbreak, friendship and a road not commonly travelled but in the end it taught me to cherish what I have and not dwell on what I don’t.

While travelling a road you can stop to smell the orchid’s, take in the sights but you need to keep moving as you never know what beauty is waiting just ahead.

Remember what made you who you are but be that person and grow.

Summer's Road will sweep you off your feet. It will make you smile, laugh and cry. You won't want to miss this wonderful story. Another Kelly Moran Book, one I could not put down and devoured in one sitting. I absolutely recommend this book. Be ready for an afternoon or evening of completely neglecting any chores as this one will have you hooked within the first chapter.

Summer's Road is an original and emotional story about Summer, who is no stranger to grief and loss. She was raised by her father her whole life after her mother left. Besides her father, the only other constants in her life were her friends, Ian and Rick, and later on, Dee. This story is equally about friendship as it is about love. It is about the family you choose and not just the one you are born into, and it is about fighting and persevering when days are tough.

Summer and Ian have been best friends for pretty much forever. Somewhere along the way, Ian's feelings for Summer turned into so much more, but he is afraid to let her know and scare her or ruin their friendship in any way. Summer turns to Ian for everything and he is her rock, but she also sees him as a bit of a playboy and not someone who takes relationships seriously.

There was so much I really liked about this story. I loved the friendship between Ian and Rick and Summer and Dee. I loved how much they all cared for each other and how protective Rick and Ian were of Summer. I really liked how much Summer cared for the children she worked with and how passionate she was about her art programs despite how difficult it was for her emotionally. I adored everything about Ian and Summer. Ian was simply everything, and I loved them together.

I have read several of this author's books and really enjoyed them. I did struggle a little with the format for this one. I was not a fan of the back and forth shifting from past to present. I also felt like the part of the story relating to Summer's mother needed a little bit of further development. For being out of her life for so long, it seemed somewhat unrealistic to me that she moved past it as quickly as she did. Otherwise it was a very engaging and heartfelt story.

Enjoyable read with well written characters and a lot of drama. I read this during a book hangover, after a complex fantasy series, and it was just what I needed.
Recommend!

This book was sent to me electronically for review from Netgalley…quirky likable characters in a story about love and friendship..secrets…intrigue…a mom returns…best friends…love the setting in South Carolina…what will happen next? It is somewhat problematics having different voices and different times…confiding…fun story to read though…
