Review: Blue Sky Summer by Kathleen Lawless from Last Chance Beach: Summer's End

I'm reading the stories in Last Chance Beach: Summer's End, and I'm reviewing them, one story at a time. 

So far, I've reviewed:






Today I'm reviewing Blue Sky Summer by Kathleen Lawless.

Of all the beaches on the coast, who shows up on her beach? Him! A former competitive surfer runs into her former love, and revisits all the reasons things didn't work out for them before.

Alisha and Mark have unfinished relationship business. When they meet again on Last Chance Beach, they find they still are attracted to each other, but there are obstacles as large as mountains that stand between them.

Those mountains are emotional traumas each inflicted on the other. The problem is neither really knows
the reasons behind the decisions the other made. Decisions that changed their lives.

Now, together again, if only for a few days, can then communicate honestly and mend the rift between them? Can the magic of Last Chance Beach heal their heartache and give them a second chance at love—and at life with each other?

Blue Sky Summer is a lovely, emotional second chance at love romance. Even better, I suspect it's the setup for a series with the destination to be Blue Sky Island.

Did you get your free copy of Cocktails on Last Chance Beach yet?

This companion book has a drink recipe from each author with some remarks about why she chose her recipe to share. It must be five o'clock somewhere.

Find a recipe to try and stock up on ingredients so you'll be ready for a cocktail party of your own—even if you and your significant other are the only guests!

You'll also get to read an excerpt from each story in the boxset.
