About this item

Victoria Drake is tired of feeling stuck.

Sick of waiting for her long-term boyfriend to man up and propose to her, when Victoria receives a surprise wedding invitation from her cousin, she takes the plunge and returns to her childhood hometown of Chance Bay, Rhode Island.

But returning home means facing up to old secrets...and old lovers. Her past boyfriend Eddie’s father disappeared without a trace – and in small towns, rumors never die. Caught up in a swirling mystery about the true story behind his father’s disappearance, Victoria distracts herself from her estranged family by unraveling the enigma of the man she used to love.

Eddie never forgot about Victoria…and when he hears she’s returned home, he bears the town’s suspicious eyes just to see her. Victoria doesn’t believe Eddie is a killer. But Eddie has secrets he’ll take to the grave, and Victoria is only scratching the surface...

Can Victoria overcome the bitterness of failed relationships and embrace a second “chance" for love in Chance Bay? Or will her old spark with Eddie become dashed by the turbulent waves of doubt and distrust?

The Summer Beach Town is a clean, feel-good contemporary women’s fiction summer beach read that has mysteries with later-in-life love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Choice Bay

Victoria's cousin Gia was getting married at home in Choice Bay. Victoria hadn't been back in years, but didn't want to disappoint Gia.
She had gotten pregnant at 19 years old and gave up her baby daughter to her Aunt Helen and Uncle Boris ( as they could not conceive). Only her family knew. She never told the father, Eddie. Nor was her now 20 year old daughter aware of the truth.
Her Uncle Boris had cancer and felt this was the time to let JoAnna know the truth. But, Victoria's mother disagreed with them all.

How will this turn out?

I think 58 pages does not constitute a book...it's a chapter or two...or a short story. String a few of your 'books' together and they might be worth buying.

I love the story line. The characters are believable! I wonder what the series holds for Victoria and Eddie,
Will they get back together after all these years. And how will she ever tell him that he has a daughter.
I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.
This is an advanced free reader copy and I’m leaving an honest review voluntarily!
