Tourist Trap by Morgan Elizabeth

5.0

This book was the ultimate beach read and so bingeable! It has the perfect summery setting in a vacation town (hence the title). I also didn’t realize before reading that the Claire (FMC) is Nate’s sister from Never Been Worse in the Evergreen Park series! You can definitely read this one without reading the series, but it was so fun to see the characters from other books!

This book really had everything I want in a light-hearted summer romance. Claire comes back to Seaside Point for a summer job as a lifeguard before she figures out what to do with her life. She is surprised when grumpy Miles, her ex’s older brother who she used to have the biggest crush on, owns the house she is supposed to live in for the summer. Claire is naturally flirty and wears her emotions on her sleeve, which Miles cannot resist. There is a summer bucket list, found family, a locals vs. tourists summer games competition, and Morgan Elizabeth’s signature spice. It was such a fun and swoony book that had me smiling the whole time.

The audiobook is narrated by CJ Bloom and Sebastian York. I think these are the best matched voices for book characters that I’ve ever listened to! CJ Bloom had the perfect flirty and bubbly voice, while Sebastian York’s was just the right amount of growly and grumpy. I highly recommend the audiobook, and it would be a perfect vacation read this summer!

Thank you to Morgan Elizabeth for an e-ALC; all opinions are my own.
