Now, they have to work together to survive not only the elements but their differences as their romantic feelings deepen.

And while she adores her charge, Josh, she can’t say the same for her employers’ oldest son, Bray. He’s cocky, inconsiderate, and makes her feel she’s a chore he has to put up with. Bray had a plan for the summer: party, hang out with friends, and forget all the responsibilities waiting for him back home. But every time he’s forced to be around Summer, her dour, serious mood sets him off. Not to mention she has a habit of pointing out all of his flaws. T he two find themselves on a dive trip gone wrong, stranded on a remote island with no help in sight. As they focus on survival, their differences melt away, and they find being together may be what both needed all along. Summer by Summer features: enemies-to-lovers trope dual POV clean and wholesome romance perfect for fans of Jennifer E Smith, Stephanie Perkins, and Emma Lord Heather Burch’s other titles include The Halfling series: Halflings, Guardian and Avenger.

“A fairly typical summer romance. Girl (Summer) goes to Belize for the summer as a nanny, clashes with her charge's popular teen brother (Bray), things go awry, and the two end up shipwrecked. What happens next is predictable, which doesn't necessarily discount this from being a good beach read. Where this book goes astray, unfortunately, is in the unnecessary physical transformation of Summer. At the start of the book, she fits a certain conservative modest teen girl stereotype—long floral dresses, mousy brown hair. Within a few chapters she's been given a complete makeover—highlighted hair, cutoffs, tank tops. Among the intended audience, the message that an instant makeover will get the guy might not float so well. Despite being full of YA tropes, it is a readable novel.”
