It’s release day for SMITTEN IN SUMMER and I’m over the moon to be taking a trip back to my beloved Lost Harbor, Alaska!
All of the Lost Harbor books are standalones, but one of the great things about a long series like this is that the secondary characters keep appearing like old friends. Trixie Tran was in the very first book, and has popped up a few times in other books. Now it’s her turn to take the starring role with her free-spirited, sassy self! She has the perfect foil in Mac Brindisi, a single dad with military background who is drawn to her the minute he walks into her ice cream shop.
Grab your copy of SMITTEN IN SUMMER and let me know what you think! Here are what a few early readers are saying:
“Watching Mac and Trixie grow closer to each other was beautiful and I found I couldn’t put this story down. This story just became my new favorite Lost Harbor book.” Joanne/GR
“Smitten in Summer is full of love and friendship and laughter and comfort, even and especially as Max and Trixie take risks and take action.” Fedora/GR
“I tore through this book, couldn't put it down, and then was extremely sad when it was over. Why must I suffer the sadness of loving and reading a really good book too fast!?!?!” Kay/GR
From USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Jennifer Bernard comes a steamy, single dad, small town romance set in fan-favorite Lost Harbor, Alaska with a free-spirited heroine and a grumpy hero who can't stay away.
Ice cream goddess and perennial life of the party, Trixie Tran lives life large, from her eclectic wardrobe to her offbeat perspective on, well…everything. No one knows her carefully crafted persona evolved after one life-changing summer during her teens, when a need to belong led to falling for Chase Owens, who betrayed her trust. Now, years later, Mr. Wrong has come to her tiny town of Lost Harbor…and he’s not leaving until Trixie gives him what he wants.
With his young daughter in tow, rescue trainer Mac Brindisi is in Alaska to fulfill a short-term contract. Romance isn’t part of the plan. He’s also built a career—literally—out of shutting people out of his life. Despite that fact, he’d have to be dead inside not to notice the sexy siren who owns the local ice cream shop. When some rich jerk from her past sails into town, all his protective instincts are activated…and then some.
Turns out Chase is no ordinary rich jerk. Dealing with him will take all of Mac’s skills…as well as courage Trixie didn’t know she had. Can she afford to put her trust in a man again? Or is Mac just another smitten-in-summer mistake waiting to happen?
