Summary

From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Ward comes a new stand-alone novel.

What do you do when a sexy older man moves into your family’s summer rental? 

Well, apparently, you make a fool of yourself - over and over. Things didn’t exactly get off on the right foot with Noah Cavallari. Our first encounter was embarrassing, to say the least. 

But despite that, I found myself waking up every day with a newfound energy. Nothing exciting ever happened on the lake - not until Noah moved into the small boathouse on our property. He’d booked it for the entire summer...and I was still trying to figure out why. 

When my mother became ill, I inherited the responsibility of making sure our guests were well taken care of. I should have been in college. Instead, I was living my best life...as a maid. 

Dark, handsome, and mysterious, everything about Noah screamed forbidden. 

I knew he was just passing through town for the summer. 

I knew he was probably too old for me. 

Yet I was drawn to him. 

Not to mention he tried to save my life when he mistakenly thought I was drowning. 

I wanted him and made no secret of it. 

His own attempts to warn me away soon gave way to late-night moonlight chats by the lake. We were slowly easing into a friendship that was gearing up to explode into something I might not recover from. 

Because he’s leaving at the end of the summer. 

And I have no idea what I’ll do when August ends.

A beautiful love story

I was held captive from the beginning to the end. Penelope Ward writes a good love story. Good characterization and humour. looking forward to your next audio book.

I loved it!

I loved this book. For me it had everything I like in a romance. First of all the age gap. Secondly Heather’s sassiness and her fearless honesty. Thirdly Noah’s brooding, standoffish behaviour whilst trying to keep his distance from Heather. I loved it all. There’s also humorous, sweet, and sexy moments in this wonderful slow burn romance together with a twist I didn’t see coming. I highly recommend it!

So late to this but worth it.

I am so in AWE with this story, My heart, The feels. Seb and Andi are literally perfect together when narratorating.

Sweet, funny and enjoyable

Aah, what a sweet, entertaining read. No angst, just pure unadulterated romance with an ultra slow burn and lots of chemistry. I just wanted Noah and Heather to get it on. Noah though, has other plans, he’s not going there with Heather. Heather’s a little minx, and oh no, no matter how much she tries for more, Noah is only willing to be her friend, after all, he thinks he’s way too old for anything else. NOT. He just needs to realise that himself and Heather are truly perfect for each other. Don’t worry. Heather can be very persuasive. Sadly it’s his extremely bad luck that actually gets him to see things differently. Sweet, funny and enjoyable angst free romance that lends itself perfectly to audible. Perfect.

Good story

Enjoyed listening to this (as is always the case with Penelope Ward!) It didn’t grab me by the heart as much as some, hence the 4 stars not 5, but definitely good and worth a credit.

Amazing!

Well, colour me RAINBOW! I don't know why but I was drawn to this title more than once before I decided to lisren to it. but, I am so glad I did. it's the most amazing story that had me laughing out loud but also drew me to real tears. It's an awesome story that pulled me in. I honestly didn't want to stop listening. Please don't skip over it...Listen to it. You won't be sorry. Thank you Vi Keeland for this brilliant story. The narrators are amazing too. really giving the characters depth. my favourite readers so far. Sebastian York has the most amazing voice. I could listen to him all day long.
