Review - 3 Stars
I enjoyed this story.
It was cute and sweet. It takes place in a small town and includes the
all of the drama and perks of small town life. Serendipity Summer is a
romance that displays sensuality mixed with humor and light drama.
Anna is a single mother
of a pre-teen. She inherits a bed and breakfast and decides to try to make
it successful. She and her daughter up root their lives to try to make a better
future. The last thing that Anna expects is to run into the man who stole her
heart five years ago.
Jake is a successful
business man who has a passion for photography. He is successful but unhappy
with his career. He decides to take life by the horns and do what he loves.
When he runs into Anna five years later he is still successful and has achieved
most of his dreams.
There was a lot missing
from this story for me. I was intrigued at the beginning and was looking
forward to getting to know the characters. Only that never happened.
Their initial connection was built in the prologue.The next thing that I
knew it was five years later and the scene was set for the characters to meet
again.
I kept feeling like I
skipped pages or was missing something. I didn't get any real foundation for me
to grasp on to.
The idea is sweet and
beyond romantic but I didn't have enough to feel for the characters.
I didn't connect with the hero or the heroine.
Anna was an amazing
mother but you only see her interact with her daughter a few times. James loves
photography but you don't get to see it in action. Over all it was a nice story
but I needed more.
