I struggled big time with this book. There was so much going on and so many characters, my head was on a constant swivel. I know there is going to be more books in this series, but it could have been handled differently.

What a great new series by Jill Sanders. Summer Nights was nice romance that is filled with fun, laughs and suspense. Dylan and Zoey have an immediate attraction. It takes a bit to get through Zoey's wall and earn her trust, but when Dylan gets through sparks fly. I can't wait for the next book in this series.

I loved the description of this book. Who could pass up a story about adult summer camp? Five friends, called the Wildflowers, return to the camp that was such a big part of their childhood. They intend to re-open the camp, as a retreat for couples.

I struggled to finish this book. I was a little overwhelmed by all the characters and the many plotlines. It felt like there was too much going on and I was having trouble keeping up. Because of that, there wasn’t enough emphasis put on the main characters, Zoey and Dylan. I really wasn’t attached to Zoey or Dylan and I didn’t feel much chemistry between them as a couple.

Summer Nights is a great summer read. It's about 5 girls who form a bond at summer camp and become life long friends. After the death of owner of the camp the girls decide to fix and reopen the camp. Interesting story developes as they go forward with their plans. You'll enjoy their struggles and love development along the way.

The blurb of this one sucked me right in; it promised a unique plotline with potential of a memorable story. And I will say that I found the plot interesting. I had a strong desire to learn the characters' secrets, which kept me reading. However, I personally did not feel any connection to Zoey or Dylan, nor did I feel much of a connection between them. I think the problem for me might have been that as the first book in a new series with many players, this book spent a lot of time setting up the plot that will run throughout, which didn't leave as much time for developing the two main characters in this one or their relationship. Perhaps the upcoming books will not suffer from the multi-focused distraction that I noted in this one. This is the first book that I've read for this author, and because there was so much going on, I'm not sure I got a real sense of her typical writing style. I would be interested in reading the next book in the series, Elle's story, to gage the style in a more focused background.

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for providing an ARC for review.

I feel like this book took me forever to finish. I did enjoy the story and it was interesting enough to keep me engaged, however there was so much going on with other characters that I feel it took away from zoey and Dylan. Overall I give it 3 stars. Thank you to netgalley for the ARC.

I received A complimentary of this book through netgalley. I am a big fan of Jills books and her books get better each and every time I read them. I thought i had a favorite picked of hers, but each new one makes me go no this one my favorite. I loved the story between Zoey Rowland and Dylan Rhodes. I loved the cover it fits the the way Dylan described in the book.

Zoey first experience of summer camp resulted in a friendship with a group of girls who call themselves The Wildflowers. Now they’re grown the group decide to transform their old camp into one aimed at adults instead. When they start hiring Dylan and his two brothers apply for jobs in the hope of locating their missing father who seemed to have some connection with it. There are a lot of secrets, which makes Zoey and Dylan’s increasing attraction difficult. Fun read but obviously the first book of the series, as many things aren’t resolved by the end. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

Great start to a new series.

Wildflowers are a group of girls that came together at summer camp.

This story focuses on Zoey and Dylan. I loved seeing them figure things out.

There is an overall story arc that continues into the upcoming books. Can't wait to see how it unfolds.

This was a quick read for me. Romantic and suspense. This is the first book in a series I can't wait for more! Thanks Netgalley for the Arc

This was a very quick read, however, I think there were too many characters to try and keep track of. I loved the idea of this book, I'm just not sure the execution was 100% there. I think there were also too many different plot points. A deranged employee, a missing person, a trio of mysterious brothers, an estranged father and much younger ex wife, 5 young women coming together to open a camp, and the escapades of all the guests and I'm sure I'm probably forgetting something.

I love it when a new series is as great as this one. I can't wait to see what happens next at the camp in upcoming stories. Zoey is so laid back, she doesn't even get mad when Dylan tells her the truth of why him and his brothers are at the camp. The trouble that the campers get into is hilarious.

A smart, sexy romance with a touch of suspense, Jill Sanders is quickly becoming an automatic one-click favorite. I truly enjoyed getting to know these well written cast of characters and hope there'll be more books in this series.

Five girls become friends as preteens at summer camp. Years later they decide to turn the camp into a getaway retreat for older adults. Adults are easier, right?

Zoey Rowlett thinks they have a winning idea on their hands. They just need to get some more employees hired before their grand opening. Enter the three Rhodes brothers , Dylan, Owen and Liam. Unbeknownst to Zoey and the others, they are there looking for their father, who has disappeared, along with quite a bit of money. Dylan is elected to get close to Zoey and see if she has any idea where their father may be hiding.

As the resort pens, thing don't go quite as planned...adults are definitely not easier to deal with than teenagers! As the hi-jinks escalate, Zoey, and Dylan, find that balancing work, solving a mystery, and possibly falling in love can be a challenging combination.

An absolutely amazing story of several young girls that come together at summer camp and form their own sister group, The Wildflowers. They each have different problems to work out and each of them are always there for each other but rarely do they trust outside of their circle. Coming together as young adults they decide to reopen the camp as an adult staycation/vacation. Mysteries abound, love sneaks up, crazy people try to hurt. Loved this book and am looking forward to the next one!!

A new series, a new cast of characters and a new setting. A group of girlfriends that have become more family than friends through the years after meeting at summer camp decide to band together and bring the camp back to life but for adults.

We get to learn about the girls or "wildflowers" as they call themselves from when they first met through to the now young adults that they are. They have strong bonds but all have secrets to some degree that will unfold through their own stories.

Three handsome men join the group with their own secret. There's romance, fun and laughs, suspicions and mystery as everyone tries to work out the "who, why and what". The adult camp is definitely entertaining with lots of "activities" going on that are planned as well as not on the schedule which caused a few giggles.

The main mystery was not actually solved 100% so we are left to see what happens in the next book. I found it to be entertaining and could see my self visiting this camp. I look forward to the next in the series.
