Summer Sizzle

Victoria Templeton has every detail of her life planned, she believes in hard work and goals to get where she wants to be. This is in direct opposition to Blake Callahan’s philosophy of life which is ‘live for today because who knows what tomorrow will bring?’ Unfortunately Victoria needs to share her summer house with Blake due to a mix up. Its interesting to see how they mix up and cope with their differences.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

Victoria and Blake. Two very different points of view. and lots of chemistry. A quick hot and sexy romance between two people that have nothing in common. Overall I enjoyed the read, and it is quick if you are looking for an easy summer read. A few minor things left unknown, and obviously quick read means quick everything. Other than that though, still enjoyable and would recommend.

Summer Sizzle by Samantha Genry. A enjoyable sweet book beach read. Spicy at times, great characters. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

This is really one of those sweat fun loving books where the female character Victoria Templeton, has paid in advance for a summer rental only to find out that it is already occupied by a man named Blake Callahan. He has paid for an entire year and actually knows the owner of the house. After deciding to both stay she believes that he is nothing but a beach bum who enjoys flying kites and surfing. What she does not know until much later is that he has taken a year off from his job because his son was killed and he is having problems moving forward. She is only thinking about work because of her childhood and has never really taken any time to relax, never has even flown a kite. His first goal besides wanting to kiss her is to get her to fly a kite and take time away from her job. She even wants to work on Saturday. Together these two different personalities will try to exist in this home for the summer, but could there be any type of a future for these two? Read this fun story and see if he can get her to fly a kite and anything else.

This book has a lot of heat but needs more character content. There is so much talk or inter monologue about sex with these characters it is hard to get into this book. Vickie is so uptight and wound up that she doesn't even know how to relax if she tried. Blake is very calm and lives in the moment despite everything that happenin his past he still is trying to love out each day to it's fullest. It's hard to really get anything more from this story but there is plenty of sizzle!

This was a pretty sweet read and is just perfect for a lazy day. I really wanted to love this one but I have to admit I did not really like Victoria she did not want a man like Blake even though she did not know who he was but still ended up in bed with him. I found myself thinking he deserved better than her judgemental ass. They were hot together though and while I did not love it I did not hate it either. It is worth a read

Two people end up renting the same house and, though they can’t stand each other, can’t fight the attraction either. He’s got a doctorate in sociology, which he gave up when his little boy was killed. She’s an accountant building up money to get an advanced degree, and nothing will deviate her from that plan. . . so she thinks.
I wanted to like her, but except for sex and the kite lessons, she’s got a bug so far up her ass she’s just no fun. This is not someone I would want to know in real life, especially when she lets her cat do all the emotionally dirty work for her. Speaking of, this may be the first feline in history I’ve ever liked. (Gimme a break, I’m allergic.) But the cat giveth, and the cat taketh away; it was a silly way to cause the inevitable trouble in the relationship, but plausible, I suppose.
Points off for “orgasmic climax.”
Doesn’t matter how great they may be, because when it comes down to it, they’re both dumb as rocks, lacking in emotional intelligence. His PhD in sociology taught him nothing. Both invented stupid reasons for artificial roadblocks. Up to that point I’d liked this, but the last quarter was a mess.
Even worse, there’s a lot of loose ends. Her lost/stolen money issue is never resolved; she doesn’t even go to the police. With his reluctance to do just that, I thought the slimy lawyer was in on it.
And speaking of that character: what good was he? To make the main guy jealous? To make him look good in her eyes? Or did the author have someone in real life they couldn’t resist throwing in as vicarious revenge?
The ending, or next to ending, I hated. Brought down the score.
