Summer at Willow Lake by Susan Wiggs

This is my first book from her ,i have seen a name from time to time at the library but was never really interested .
This book feature my favorite subject sweetheart and the super bonus is SUMMER sweetheart so i had to read it .

From Amazon:

Camp Kioga means many things to many people. For Olivia Bellamy, whose family operated the camp in the Catskills, it's all about bad memories. Although she was just as rich as the other attendees, she was never as pretty or thin or self-assured. The only thing that kept her from being completely miserable was the arrival each summer of Connor Davis. For Connor, the camp took him away from a life far different than Olivia's and showed him how life could be. Connor and Olivia finally have a relationship, which seems to scar her heart. Years later, a slimmed-down, professional Olivia is asked by her grandmother to prepare the camp for her fiftieth wedding anniversary. Connor is still in the area, and as soon as she hires him to help with the project, feelings arise on both sides.


Hum not quite what i was expecting , at page 176 ,the heroine had only spoken to the hero twice!
I am all for the world building in a book but really what interest me is the relation with the H/H and it's nice to know what happened with her father but really a paragraph would have been enough ,no need for flashbacks .

I like that Connor had as many insecurity as Olivia ,it was a nice change ,not once he implied or thought that he was the guy who messed her up and he was quite open with his feeling but then he should be ,seeing that SW gave them probably two hundred pages (out of five hundred an thirty) of time together, i did like the moments they shared ,but they where very few and far between .
I thought that being in the head of the teenagers was unnecessary ,it did not advance the story in anyway ,if it was to draw the intention on the similarity of the now and then ,well i know i am not too bright but i would have figured it out on my own.

I am not giving up on her i have just started Summer by the sea ,it just that it was not the "Dirty Dancing" i was expecting.....

Grade : So 3/5


I saw that All about romance call it a woman fiction ,what is that ? is it like a chick lit ?

Tempt Me Tonight by Toni Blake

I am a sucker for childhood sweetheart , i don't know if it was because i was the little fat one in the back of the class or because i never had one but any book featuring them is instantly a TBR .
In fact writing that review i discovered that most of my DIK has sweetheart.

When this one was recommended to me ,i instantly bought it and i do not regret it.

Tempt me tonight is a cute story with a very hot content .

Joe made a mistake 15 years ago when he let is hormone get the better of him and broke Trish heart but he is determined to start again.

I just fell in love with him ,he is so sweet ,even though he is dying for her to accept him ,he let her take her time to come slowly to him .
Some might argue that Trish is a bit hard on him but when you are seventeen and discover that love is not as fun as you think it leave some very painful scars beside i would not have like for her to just take him back without making him work for it !

A very satisfying read so a definite 5/5
