Summer Ever After by Jane Crittenden

Cathy’s first review of the year

really liked it
I'm not usually a fan of contemporary romance � and haven't read any for years. But this was a really enjoyable read. Great characters and an even better setting. The descriptions of the food will have you yearning for tapas. Highly recommend for an easy summer read. I'll definitely look for more from this author. ...more

📚
This is a high concept novel and the scientific details and the world Faulks ha
