Omg I loved loved loved this book so much. Getting to know Tate was awesome because omg he is the sweetest and most caring guy ever. Cassie is super sweet and cute and I love that her and Tate instantly connected and fell in love. The way he feels for her and how he naturally fits with her is romantic.
Their breakup near the end had me crying since I couldn’t believe that was happening. Glad it worked out for them! Great series!

I have been looking forward to this third installment of the Avalon Bay series and it hasn't dissapointed!
I really enjoyed that this book built on the friendship of Cassie and Tate and although there is chemistry between them it isn't all just the physical. You get to know each of the characters and find out about their family, how they have grown up.
The big drama to cause the upset between these two was DRAMATIC and maybe a little overboard but I think this whole series has probably had at least one element where is seems a little over the top or more unrealist than the rest.
Whilst this is the third installment and there are the characters from the previous two books it isn't essential / required reading but I would definitely recommend reading all three just for some summer fun that goes from fling to love.

I received this book as an ARC for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

Super cute rom-com complete with family drama, friendship, nicknames and a hot sailor/surfer guy. Continuing the journey in Avalon bay we get to meet Cassie and learn more about Tate.
