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 Eddie finds another surprise in the sand!
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2024
Not whole has changed. Vicky is still debating whether to tell Johnna that she is her mother because her family made her give her up when she was 19. I don’t understand that because she was old enough to make her own decision. They are still fighting her on it. They still don’t want Johnna to know that Vicky is her Mother not her cousin. Eddie finds a bracelet in the sand that he is pretty sure is his stepmother’s & I think it was in the same area Vicky found Daniel’s class ring. So now we really have a mystery. Did she kill Daniel? She claims he ran off with his lover, but sometimes she slips up & talks like he is dead, so is he dead or is he alive??? When will we finally find out? Will Vicky ever tell Johnna that she is her Mother. She wants to, but she doesn’t want everyone upset with her. Her Uncle Boris told her he thought she should. What do you think? Wouldn’t you want your child to know you were her mother? And the mysteries keep on coming!! It’s getting more interesting all the time!

I received this ARC book for free & I am giving my review for free in my own words. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

4.0 out of 5 stars Part 3 of The Summer Beach Town
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2024
This is part three of a six book series. The story and mystery continues to build and it is engaging. There are several typos, grammatical errors and storyline errors ("Cousin Vicky" becomes "Aunt Vicky" when addressed by Johnna, her daughter, given up at birth. This is very unusual for this author. The book ends with a cliffhanger and I'm looking forward to reading it.
I received an ARC and I am leaving my opinion without influence from the author or publisher.

Vicky has found Daniels ring in the sand, but has not told Eddie, yet. Eddie has found an expensive bracelet in the sand, but isn't sure if it's his step-mothers or not. He gives it to Vicky for safe keeping. Vicky is helping Eddie clean out his space, to avoid her Mother, and family, (as they disagree with her about telling JoAnna the truth) and finds an old box hidden in an upper book case, with Daniels Seal on it.
What has she found now?
Let's get to book #4.
I received this ARC from Hayley and am leaving my honest review.
