Happy June! While summer has not officially commenced, here in the Sunny South it is definitely in full force! Today’s TTT challenge is a Summer Freebie. I am listing books with Summer in the title — I can’t believe I haven’t done this before. I have read most of the books on the list, but there are a few that are still on the TBR wishlist.

First Line Friday — Summer Island Book Club

31 May

It is officially SUMMER in my corner of the world. School is out, the first big summer holiday weekend has passed, and it is hot, hot, hot! I have a book on my TBR shelf that is perfect for a beach weekend or staycation by the pool. Summer Island Book Club by Ciara Knight looks like a fun read!

Here’s the first line:

Julie Boone closed and locked the door to the family business, Summer Island Gift Shop.

From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Ciara Knight Escape to Summer Island, where new beginnings and happy endings are guaranteed.

Widow, Julie Boone has lived her life and is content, so she thought until her daughter gives her the perfect nightmare of a fiftieth birthday gift-her three childhood besties. The arrival of her wildly successful, buttinski friends, overwhelms Julie when her life goes from peaceful to melodrama, makeovers, and matchmaking. Especially when they make her believe there is still life to be lived with one handsome sailor who’s just moved to town.

Trevor Ashford retreats from big city life to sunny Florida after a failed marriage and damaged reputation.His only wish is to open a small boat charter company in peace, but when Houdini—a mischievous pet ferret—steals an engine part and leads him on a merry chase into the arms of Julie Boone, he has to choose between being a recluse or embracing a new love.

Ciara Knight is a USA Today, Amazon Bestselling, and award-winning author of heartwarming, small-town contemporary and historical romances.

Her contemporary stories are hailed as “Hallmark movie-worthy.” The popular Sweetwater County series takes readers into a southern town filled with family trials, friendly competition, and community love.

Sugar Maple is a hit with town elders who ‘tar and southernize’ the unruly and sweet young high school friends reuniting after a decade away from home.

Ciara’s historical romances have topped the charts and Amazon reviewers say, “This is the best mail-order bride book I’ve read.” Fans of McKinnie Mail Order Brides series are taken on an adventure as the Civil War ends and seven sisters are left with no home, no family, no prospects. Their only hope is to become mail-order brides. Love on the Prairie is a USA Today bestseller and the place any reader should begin their journey of this epic series.
