Story
Blaire has never quite gotten over Jessie Beckett, the ex-NFL star whose kisses were hot enough to ignite the entire Eastern Seaboard. When he chose work over her, Blaire was left brokenhearted. Why else would she have married a skeezy two-timer, just to divorce him less than a year later? Now Blaire is getting even by becoming one half of Dirty Exes, a PI firm fully committed to humiliating cheating jerks. If only the new jerk she’s been hired to uncover wasn’t Jessie Beckett himself.

Story
Intern with Korea’s number one record label? Yes, please. Find out there’s a huge scandal I need to help “manage”…not so much. Add in the fact that I don’t recognize the “superstars” of the label and think they’re interns. And my dream job quickly becomes more of a nightmare. But I’m in Seoul, the one place that is beginning to feel more and more like home. Except it isn’t home, and the drama surrounding the biggest K-pop group in the world, SWT, is consuming my every moment.

Story
Losing your ability to speak at the age of 17; it's not normal or fair. But trauma has a way of throwing normality out the window. Dani lives anything but a normal life: her sister is married to one of the biggest names in Hollywood, her best friends are rock stars, and she has more love around her than most people experience in a lifetime. But that doesn't change the fact their parents are dead, or that it's her fault. It seems her new normal is being a mute, living on the inside, unable to actually communicate on the outside.

Now, my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston's nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan. The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family's oil company. Little does she know, that's not the only pipe I'll be laying....

So when I leave Chicago for some peace and quiet, the last thing I expect is for a gorgeous woman to literally fall into my lap on a flight to Alaska. Even better, she has absolutely no idea who I am.

Story
My love story all started with a letter. Only it wasn’t from the man I’d eventually fall in love with. It was from his daughter. A sweet little girl named Birdie Maxwell who’d written to the magazine that I worked for. You see, once a year my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didn’t start up again for months. So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmless…so I thought. Until one day I took things too far. While anonymously granting yet another of Birdie’s wishes, I got a look at her father.

I was stuck between a rock(star) and a hard place. At 15, his poster hung on my bedroom wall. At 25 his body hovered over mine. Every girl's fantasy became my reality. I was dating a rockstar. Yet I was slowly falling for another man. The problem was - the two men - they shared a tour bus. Flynn Beckham was the opening act. Dylan Ryder was the headliner. What happens when the opening act begins to shine so bright, it seems to dim everything else in its wake? I'll tell you what happens. Things get ugly.

The things I want to do to my sweet, kindergarten-teaching, mitten-crocheting best friend Libby Collins are 10 different kinds of wrong. Maybe 20. But I'm a firm believer in teaching by example, and by the end of our first sex lesson, we've graduated to a hands-on approach to her education: my hands all over her, her hands all over me, and her hot mouth melting beneath mine as I prove to her there isn't a damned thing wrong with the way she kisses.

They say revenge is a dish best served cold. I’d had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me...now my heart was completely iced. I took her first kiss. She took the only thing I loved. I was poor. She was rich. The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast. Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project. Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much. Yeah, baby girl, say it. I’m your foster brother. There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life. She’s about to shell out some serious tears.

Nate Monson was gorgeous, obnoxiously wealthy, and a player. He was also the person who could destroy my world with a single decision. I walked into that bar looking for him. He saw me. I saw him. The chemistry sizzled between us, but no. I hated Nate Monson. I hated him with everything in me, even though my body did not. It didn't matter. Nothing I wanted mattered. He thought I wanted to get laid. What I wanted was for him to disappear. But first, I had to tell him that he had a daughter.

Sometimes you meet people who are out of this world, so you make them a part of yours. A one-night stand born from vengeance in a foreign land. An explosive chemistry neither of us could deny. We signed a contract on the back of a Boar’s Head Pub napkin that said if we ever met again, we would drop everything and be together. Eight years and thousands of miles later, he’s here. In New York. And he’s America’s music obsession.

Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me. And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy. Except they weren’t alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him. Scout Raiden. Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing. He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up. The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem.

Dalton, I loved you once. A love I thought irrevocable. A love I mistakenly believed could transcend both time and circumstance. Under the influence of my dimwitted, naïve, traitorous heart, I became intoxicated with what I now know was simply a figment of my self-indulgent imagination. So drunk on the feeling, I couldn't see what was right in front of my face. So foolishly enamored, I blindly followed my heart into the depths of an emotion that would ravage me.

Story
Mia Stanbury is the quintessential girl next door: smart, beautiful, and determined. She’s got it all going on. Is it any wonder that she’s been on my radar for as long as I can remember? We’re talking middle school, folks. I’ll admit that I’ve made a few boneheaded mistakes as far as she’s concerned, but what can I say? I’m a dude. Sometimes I think with the wrong head. We’ll just chalk it up to one of the hazards of having a Y chromosome and leave it at that.

New to me author was not a let down!
Rachel Van Dyken is a new to me author, and I will definitely read more by her. Her writing was very clean and she told a great story.
Over the summer takes place a friendenemies to lovers reconnect at Drama camp as they are camp director and coach. This follows the ups and downs as they reconnect and find the flaws in thierselves and become stronger as a couple.
Narration by Maxine Mitchell and Tyler Donne. Tyler Donne is new to me and he was alittle bit of a let down. To me he didn't fit this role and sounded a little juvenile.
This is a Standalone. Medium spice.

Good story BUT
Good story, but dang…each book ends at a peak!! Thankfully this was the 3 book set from beginning to end! Absolutely hate books that do not complete a story and you must wait for the next in the series to be released.

OKAY +
This series to me was just a little better than okay, in fact I couldn’t take another 3 hours of the whiny back & forth of the two main characters at the end. Too much philosophical babble of their sorry lives. There’s a whole lot of people in the world not feeling sorry for themselves with worse lives. I speed listened to the last part & ending just to finish. Overall idea was good, started off good but dragged on way too long to get to the “perfect” ending. Good try though, narrators were fantastic.

4 Stars for me!
My rating range of this story... 3 - 5 Stars
If significant, why? Just too much angst and internal monologue! YES it is a hallmark of LB and I still love her writing.
Biggest deduction? 1 Star - see above and final notes.

If yes, explained
Heat Rating... 6/10
Clean or Fade to Black - 1 or 2
Normal to Descriptive 3-5
Detailed Descriptive Sex - 6-7
Um, Wow, Beyond Descriptive Sex - 8 or above
Was there so much sex or unrealistic sex that you rolled your eyes and/or skipped forward? One scene seemed to have a minimum of six O's.
The back story... Orphaned at six, the H gets a foster mom who works hard, shows love and then takes a job with the h's family to help take care of their daughter. Things are okay between the kids until 5th grade when he gets tall and gangly and she comes into her beauty and her popular friends shun him as the lawn boy.
They do have sex once as teenagers and she quickly abandons him to avoid getting harassed by her 'friends'. To add insult to injury, she beats him out for a drama scholarship and it really hurts him because her family is wealthy and his more us scraping by.
Fast forward 4 years and they meet again at a drama summer camp where she is a new camp leader and he is the camp director.
He is still bitter and decides to be a broody jerk to her. She is tired of trying to live up to an image and works hard to hide her lifetime of hurt and sadness due to parental neglect.
Romance or Gist: You can see it slowly build in between the constant angst and internal dialog. It gets stronger towards the 60-70% mark but is tenuous until they really dig deeper into each other and are honest and vulnerable.
The drama explosion... Mom, Dad and the Agent
Did it feel Real, OK or contrived? Mostly real
Was it OTT? Yup
Separation involved? No
Was it resolved properly or rushed? Properly
Final Notes... Let me start off by saying that I love LB and have read/listened to most of her stories. I know that she targets YA and NA readers as the stories are filled with continuous angst and internal monologues which is okay until it becomes overwhelming. My guess is that this story was a solid 65% Angst and internal dialog. Cut that to 40% and I would give it a solid 5 Stars
The additional storyline between the other two camp leaders was both great and grrrr! The guy was such an idiot and she was a bit too forgiving but I was still rooting for them. The ending was well done and there may have been a tear or two.
HEA or HFN? HEA

Summer Nights A++
This was an amazing love story. It had the highs and lows., laughs, craziness and fun. Without spoiling I did cry so hard at the end if book 2. I'm so glad all 3 books were in the one set. It kept me on the edge of my seat, I wouldn't have been satisfied to have to wait for the next book to come out. Rachel Van Dyken is an amazing writer.

loooonnnggggg read!
although I do believe this book has three books all in one it just drug out so long. I made it halfway through chapter 38 I just cannot go anymore I'm losing interest. the narration I love Maxine Mitchell she does a great male voice the male narrator I wasn't too fond of but got through it. the storyline just did not catch my complete interest. not enough fighting for love in my opinion. I'm not going to give this book horrible ratings because it was okay... it wasn't the worst I have read.
