I'm very excited to say that I was immediately drawn into the life of Olivia Frost as she moves from being an employed graphic designer in Boston, to a small business owner in her hometown of Knights Bridge.

One of the things that Olivia does when she moves back to Knights Bridge is to track down the owner of the decrepit house down the road from hers. She wants him to clean up the yard of junk, but never really expects him to come to town to do it himself. When he does come to town sparks begin to ignite but can they be fanned to full out infatuation or even perhaps long term happiness?

As Dylan McCaffrey starts to clean up the mess in the house he unknowingly inherited he can't help but feel drawn to Knights Bridge, Olivia, and yes, even begins to feel closer to his now deceased father from whom he inherited the house. Dylan's father was a treasure hunter, and he can't help but wonder what treasure could be hiding in Knights Bridge, and which if any of the local townspeople are crucial to uncovering the treasure.

There are many layers to SECRETS OF THE LOST SUMMER. Each character is well written and easy to imagine standing beside you as part of your daily life. While the story does focus primarily on Olivia and Dylan the secondary characters are full bodied, and add to the story without stealing the spotlight.

I'm not a keeper of books, but I do think if I kept something I would keep... SECRETS OF THE LOST SUMMER would be one of those I would keep if I had the space.
