Review of All Summer Long by Melody Carlson

This blog post is a review of the book All Summer Long by Melody Carlson.

 

Back cover synopsis:  

She's ready to take on a new challenge. What she doesn't expect is an old flame.

Tia D'Amico is thrilled to move to San Francisco to help her aunt transform an old luxury yacht into an upscale floating restaurant. What's not to love? Sunset dinner cruises, posh wedding receptions--the possibilities are endless and far more appetizing than staying in a monotonous job in her Podunk hometown. Besides, some of her best memories are tied to San Francisco--especially the memory of Leo Parker, her crush from a long-ago sailing camp.

When Leo Parker himself turns out to be the yacht's captain, Tia is floating on air. But will it all come crashing down around her when she discovers his heart belongs to someone else?

Get ready for a romantic summer in San Francisco, where the future glistens brighter than the Bay at sunset.

My thoughts :

 All Summer Long was a pretty entertaining book but didn't have a lot of substance to it. It was, for the most part, a fluffy light read. I prefer books that have more substance and meat to them. The characters were well written and the plot was interesting and I could tell that the author had a talent for writing. Overall I thought the book was about average. I didn't hate it but I didn't really love it either. I liked it ok but it wasn't my favorite. It is the second book in the Follow Your Heart series but can stand alone. It is a christian book but it didn't really have a lot of christian overtones to it. If you like light fluffy entertaining reads then you will probably enjoy this book. If you prefer more substance and the romance as a side or seasoning to the main story you probably won't enjoy this book as much. Like I said before, I didn't really dislike the book it just wasn't my cup of tea.

  I received this book in exchange for my honest review as part of the Revell Reads blogger review program.
