and running the Dip and Twist. Happily spending her time being single and
carefree, she has no intention of settling down or falling in love. With an
ever-growing family, she’s a mother to them all, and she loves every minute of
it. But her baby is getting married, and her oldest has her own life changes
she’s dealing with. Suddenly, being all alone doesn’t sound so appealing
anymore.
Dean Campbell has been the black sheep of his family since
the day he was born. The only one he cares about is his nephew, Palmer.
Deciding at the last minute to attend Palmer’s nuptials, Dean knows he’s going
to need to try his hardest not to be his usual, grouchy self. He doesn’t like
people, and he really doesn’t like weddings. But the sexy and sassy
mother-of-the-bride has him wanting to check Plus-One on his invite. He’s never
had more fun getting under someone’s skin, and it doesn’t take long for all the
people, noise, and chaos that surround Laura Bennett to become a few of his
favorite things.
Laura
thinks a fun wedding fling is just what the doctor ordered to get her out of
this funk. But Dean’s been sprinkled with Shepherd’s glitter and the magic of
Summersweet Island. He’ll do whatever it takes to convince her that, with this
fling, she just might change her mind about falling in love again.
We're back on our favorite Island!!!
We all met Laura in the previous books - she's the owner of the Island's Ice Cream Stand and she's Wren and Birdie's mom - and of course she kind of adopted all the other guys and girls!
And now here's her time to find her own HEA!
At her daughter's wedding! With the groom's hot uncle! LOL!
Let the fun times begin...
LOL! ADORABLE!
I loved this!
If you're new to this seris, please go back and read all the other books before starting this one! This group of people is so amazing! I really need this to be a Netflix show! The guys are so hilarious with their crafting and glitter and gossiping! If you haven't done some glitter-glue-hearts-crafting with Shep, Palmer and Bodhi - you haven't lived. LOL!
I just love this series so much!
And this time we have this adorable and very sparky and sexy and very mature love story. Laura and Dean are 54 and 57 years old! And I loved that! We're all getting older and we can't always read about 23 year olds! Not that they behaved much differently than younger people - lol! I just adored those two and their hilarious flirting and fighting and falling for each other - even though they are both against a real relationship. But with Laura's youngest daughter getting married it feels like everybody is leaving her - even though that is so not the case - she's still very much in demand by the bridezilla and everybody else! But she feels so very lonely, especially when she comes home to an empty home at night - a little fling would be okay... or maybe even something more? Laura and Dean are just perfect for each other - but he'll be gone after the wedding, right?
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT!
Oh and can someone on the Island please adopt me??? I want to live there - I want to live in the ice cream stand - or just work in it.
WITH THIS FLING was the most adorable + hilarious island love story. I just loved it! Hurry to your nearest amazon for your own Dean ... he'll be sold out in no time!
Welcome back to Summersweet Island, VA.
If you haven't read the previous four books, you are in for a treat (and you really do need to go back and read them!)
Whilst the previous books have been about the kids and finding their true loves, we are now focused on Wren and Birdie's mum Laura, whom we have met. She owns the ice cream stand and is mum to all - she adopts the strays and the friends of her daughters.
Gah, I loved it. I loved that we are reading about people in my age bracket or older. I loved that we are dealing with people who have been dealt crappy hands in the past and are now living their best lives. I love how they are still so young at heart.
I freaking love Uncle Dean (every time I read Dean I thought of Dean Winchester, which made me think of Uncle Dean as Papa Winchester, Jeffrey Dean Morgan).
It was wonderful to get more of the couples I have loved in the past (and thankfully, Bodhi and Tess were a lot tamer in this book than they have in the past - they kinda annoyed me before. This time the just made me laugh).
I want to go get Summersweeted on Summersweet Island - who is coming to join me?
