A love story she didn't see coming…
When book lover Jade Taylor applies to manage the Little Bay Book Shack on Nantucket Island over the summer, the last thing she needs is the distraction of billionaire resort owner, Liam Haven.
But things take an unexpected turn when Liam becomes Jade’s boss – a man who only reads contracts for pleasure…
In a bid to save the bookshop from being absorbed into the Haven resort, Jade is determined to teach Liam that there’s more to life than acquiring real estate. And if she can make him realise happily ever afters do exist, might she be able to save the island’s bookshop in the process?
Booked for Summer is Kathryn Freeman's latest romcom and it is filled with romance and books. A book with books in it is always going to pique my interest and I enjoyed my virtual trip to Nantucket Island.
I loved the main characters of Jade and Liam, although not at first I have to say. Jade's enthusiasm for running the bookshop is infectious so it's no wonder that she quickly makes friends as soon as she sets foot in Nantucket. After a misunderstanding at the ferry crossing, Jade meets Liam and their attraction to each other is plain to see. Of course, they both have their own hangups and neither of them are looking for anything long term...
The wonderfully drawn colourful characters pull this story along perfectly as well as the plot to close the bookshop. What??? Close the bookshop? I thought Kathryn Freeman wrote romcoms not horror stories! I just loved how the whole community came together to fight for a common cause, which also happened to be them all ganging up on Liam as he owns the resort. I really felt for him as there's a good reason why he wants make his resort the most exclusive on the island but he is a little blinkered because of it.
Flirty, charming and fun, Booked for Summer is an entertaining and enjoyable book that transports the reader across the Atlantic to the picturesque island of Nantucket. It's a fabulous summer read.
I received a digital ARC to read and review for the blog tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
