Week 17 Review: The Summer Girl

From Goodreads:
Elle Kennedy's next spicy and emotional romance in the blockbuster Avalon Bay series.

College student Cassie Soul hasn't spent an entire summer in Avalon Bay in years, not since her parents divorced and her mother spitefully whisked her away to Boston. Now that her grandmother is selling the boardwalk hotel that's been in their family for five decades, Cassie returns to the quaint beach town to spend time with family, ring in her twenty-first birthday…and maybe find herself a summer fling.

On her first night in town, she finds the perfect candidate: Tate Bartlett, Avalon Bay's fun-loving golden boy.

Tate, sailing instructor and lovable player, is no stranger to flings. In fact, he's always down for a good time. But the moment he meets Cassie, he knows she's not the girl you play games with. Cassie is gorgeous, hilarious, and, frankly, the coolest person he’s ever met. The last thing he wants to do is risk breaking her heart, and so he reluctantly puts her in the friend-zone…only to realize he made a huge mistake. Soon, his attraction to Cassie becomes impossible to ignore. He wants that fling now. Big-time.

And maybe even something more.

As Cassie and Tate walk the line between friends and lovers, they're about to discover that their situation is the least complicated part of this equation. Because Avalon Bay is full of secrets—and their relationship might not survive when those secrets come to light.

My Review:
I had a really fantastic time reading this book! I really enjoy her writing, and this series has been really fantastic to read! I'm not sure if this is the end or not, I haven't seen anything about any other books, which is kinda sad, but I had a great time reading them!

These characters were just so great to read, Cassie is the granddaughter of the woman who used to own the hotel that Mac is buying, so I really enjoyed the connection there. If we've meet Tate, I do not really remember him, but I had a great time watching the pair of them fall in love!

It does feel like a theme, that at least one parent of one of the love interests is awful, which in this case in Cassie's mom, who was just awful. Imagine being kept away from half of your family by the one of your parents? Which is the only thing that she does, but she was just awful!

I had such a great time with this read, it was nice and relaxing, there was drama, but it wasn't life or death stakes, and was just a delight to read. I just really enjoyed these two, how they had this attraction, and were friends, and became more! It was just so cute! 

Loved reading this book and I can't wait to read more by Elle Kennedy!
