Summer Ever After by J. Crittenden, published by Lake Union Publishing is the perfect summer, beach read. Set in beautiful Spain you can only fall in love with characters and story.
Blurb: Ten years ago, while travelling before starting a cookery apprenticeship, Alice fell head over heels for Barcelona: the food, the sun and the gorgeous Andy Hall…Family tragedy sent her back to London, but now, finally, she’s been given the chance to return. Only to find herself working alongside none other than Andy, the only man to ever break her heart.

The decade apart has changed them both, though he still has his frustratingly good looks―and is Alice imagining it or does the spark that always existed between them still burn just as brightly? Not ready to risk getting hurt again, she focuses on exploring the culinary delights of the city, and begins to remember a life she once dreamed of…

I usually do not DNF books, but for this one I had to. It was so hard to get into that I was dreading even thinking about reading it.

Thanks to NeGalley and Lake Union for the opportunity to read Summer Ever After by Jane Crittenden. A perfect book for those who enjoy food and travel with their romance.

This deliciously evocative modern romance brings together the themes of a heartbreaker from the past, current family dynamics, a love of food and cooking and, yes, love! It's a sensitive and expertly plotted delve into identity, the mistakes we make and whether it's too late to rectify them. A must for anyone who wants to feel caught up in a tangled love story and whisked away to warmer climes.
