Sweet Summer Surprise

 She came to the beach to find herself—and found him.

About the Book: Previously published as Gelato Surprise, this age-gap beach town romance booms with steam and features Danielle who after her cheating ex lures their kids away for a vacation-palooza with his new squeeze, is left with a non-refundable beach rental in Trappers Cove.

Glum and lonely, she settles in to lick her wounds—and some sinfully delicious gelato. Enter Matteo, the ice-cream vendor’s hunky nephew. Mamma mia! The gorgeous younger man is charming, seductive, and utterly undeterred by their age difference. Maybe a no-strings fling is just what she needs.

What starts as a steamy summer escape soon flares into something neither of them expected. Their chemistry sparks hotter than the Fourth of July, and for the first time in forever, Danielle feels truly seen and cherished. But a divorced mom with real-life responsibilities can’t afford to live in fantasyland, and Matteo’s future is in this perfect beach town. The clock is ticking. Matteo has two weeks to convince her their summer love is the start of a happily ever after.

Our Review: Anyone, no matter their age or circumstance will easily relate to this charmer of a story—and we were—all over again. This ‘enhanced’ update of the earlier Trappers Cove story has it all: a woman feeling betrayed—again—who decides to finally do something for herself. And what a time it becomes. No one does romance like Sadira Stone and it’s a joy to rediscover this fun series. Trappers Cove has it all!

Based on a scale of 1-5, Sweet Summer Surprise merits a 6.
