Missing Summer Part One
"You're gonna make me miss summer,
You're gonna show me that time truly flies,
Show me the smile in hello,
The tears in goodbyes,
You're gonna make me miss summer,
When the winter stings my skin,
When the fallen leaves spin in the wind,
You're gonna make me miss summer."
You're gonna show me that time truly flies,
Show me the smile in hello,

When the winter stings my skin,
When the fallen leaves spin in the wind,
You're gonna make me miss summer."
Time changes everything.
Kollie was the "girl next door" who didn't notice Jared in high school. Jared is the guy who could get any girl he wanted... except for the one whose face haunted his dreams.
Fast-forward three years:
Haunted by dark events while away, Jared returns home to begin his life anew. He's shocked to find the one girl he could never have sleeping in his own bed... the one girl he swore he would stay away from forever.
Hired by Jared's parents as nanny to his younger brother and sister, Kollie is a mess. Thrown out of her own home, she has found a new family and what she believes is happiness.
With Jared's return, Kollie is forced to face her own demons. Jared, struggling for redemption, tries to resist his renewed attraction. But it's no use. Temptation soon has its way in a storm of rapturous bliss... while forcing both to face dark pasts and tortured memories.
"You're beautiful," he whispers. Yep, I can die happy now.
"Thank you," I say quietly. I'm sure I'm twelve shades of pink. I need a distraction. Stat. Where are those damn kids? "For that, um, compliment. I was sure by not bathing today you'd be repulsed by me. Plan fail?"

He laughs at this and brushes a piece of hair away from my face, "Well you do smell kind of funny."
"I'm not the only one, did you also skip your shower?" I shoot back with a smile.
"No sweetheart, I had my shower, trust me. It was a freezing one."

It was a surprisingly refreshing, full of fun and sexual tension...made me laugh out loud kind of book.

I usually don't like books that are short because I feel like the story won't flow or it'll be rushed.. And really I just like big books(and I can not lie lol).. But, Missing Summer was well put together and I didn't feel that it was rushed at all..
~ Marissa Olson (Goodreads)
I have nothing negative to say. It's short. It's a quick read. It leaves you hanging. But it's beautifully written and it flows perfectly together. Well done and keep up the awesome work!!
~ Book Barn
A well deserved 5 stars. I literally devoured this in one sitting. I couldnt put it down. It had everything and I was hooked from the start. There is mystery and a lot of sexual tension it had everything you could want. The author threw everything in there mixed it all up and gave it a little bit of spice just enough to wet our whistles.

Read.... No... devoured this tonight, really enjoyed it... My only complaint? I haven't got part 2 yet!!
