The Summer Deal by Jill Shalvis
5.0
Jill Shalvis' Wildstone series has sucked me in from the beginning and gets better with each book. The Summer Deal has the romance I've come to expect and also the deeper dive into familial relationships. The latter is what makes The Summer Deal that much more amazing. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE a good romance, but romances don't touch my feels as much as family stuff does (and there were lots of feels in this one).
The Summer Deal focuses on Brynn, Kinsey and Eli, who have known each other since their summer camp days. They have quite a bit of animosity between the two girls and there is also a big secret. I won't spoil it, but the reader learns what it is well before it comes all the way out, adding a dose of tension to the story. Eli and Kinsey are more like brother and sister than friends, and Eli is Brynn's former summertime crush. Despite all the things happening and reasons why it should work the three of them were a great "made family".
Brynn and Kinsey each get their own romance. Brynn with Eli and Kinsey with a Deck. While I loved and appreciated the story's focus on the family aspect, I wouldn't have said no to more to Deck.
There were times were Brynn and Kinsey were frustrating, especially Kinsey and her motivations for her decisions. However, I can also get why one would feel that way, and truthfully if everything were perfect that would bother me more.
In addition to the main characters we see a quite a bit of Brynn's mom's. They were amazing and awesome and supportive, all of which Brynn needed.
If you're a fan of Jill Shalvis' books, you won't be disappointed in The Summer Deal.
