Description

Maggie Reynolds is finally ready for love again—until the past shows up in the form of someone who may or may not be the late husband she thought she'd lost.

Five years after her husband's death, Maggie is finally ready to let go of him and the dreams she had for their future. A summer at Seabrook, where she and Ethan first became childhood sweethearts, seems the perfect time and place to find closure. Plus, she gets to spend time with his family, the Reynoldses, whom she loves like her own.

Unbeknownst to Maggie, her brother-in-law, Josh Reynolds, has been in love with her since they first met all those years ago. But his brother ultimately won Maggie's heart, and Josh's unrequited love has ruined all his relationships. If Maggie is ready to move on, then Josh is ready to lay it all on the line and come clean about his true feelings for her.

But his plans soon get put on hold when, shortly after Maggie returns to Seabrook, she runs into a man who could pass for Ethan's twin. But he disappears into the amusement park crowd before she can confront him.

The event rattles Maggie, stirs up impossible questions, and sends Josh and her on a quest to discover the man's true identity. But their search ends up raising more questions than answers—and soon Maggie isn't sure she wants those answers after all.

Maggie Reynolds is finally ready for love again—until the past shows up in the form of someone who may or may not be the late husband she thought she'd lost.

THE SUMMER OF YOU AND ME by DENISE HUNTER is a most enjoyable romance novel with interesting characters and a clever story, with many twists and turns.
Maggie Reynolds and her four year old daughter Zoey are on holiday in Seabrook, North Carolina, a place which is full of bittersweet memories of her late husband, Ethan, the love of her life. Her best friend Erin, Ethan’s sister and his younger brother Josh live there, and, together with his parents Becky and Brad, they are planning to scatter his ashes on the fifth anniversary of his death, when the unthinkable happens! While at the fair Maggie sees Ethan’s double in the distance. Did the army make a mistake - could her husband possibly still be alive? Maggie and Josh set out to find the truth without involving the rest of the Reynolds family……
There is so much more to the strory as the author takes us through her characters’ emotions and relationships, but I am not going to tell you any more for fear of spoiling things for you.
I cannot recommend this lovely novel highly enough.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Thomas Nelson. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

This book has quite the emotional and surprising plot twists! Hunter is a master at carefully and sparingly dropping hints, and even when she did, I didn’t figure out the implications! There’s lots of swoony romance, fun at the beach and the carnival, cute kids, and more. I didn’t want to stop reading to go to bed, and could easily have stayed up all night reading this book.

The Summer of You and Me was the second book by Denise Hunter that I’ve read. I loved it as much as her previous book.

This book is written by a talented popular author, a favorite. Family and friends come together to grieve a beloved husband and are wanting closure.
The husband’s brother lives his widow but trials happen. Red herrings kept me guessing and often,
hoping. Was her husband really dead? Is the mystery man her loved one? Questions waiting for answers. Enjoy.
Thanks Netgalley.
