0A Perfect Summertimer Romance
Image 88: A 1x1 image, likely be a tacker probe Amazon Customer](javascript:void(0)) 5 out of 5 stars A Perfect Summertimer Romance 700 Senses of Summer was such a warm, heartfelt read with just the right amount of steam. Jack and Aurora’s story had me hooked from the start. Jack is a firefighter and basically the dream neighbor, living in Cedar Island, NC. Aurora is a romance author trying to find her footing again after a rough few years. She inherits her great-aunt’s beach house and heads to Cedar Island to get it ready for sale. Jack is patient and steady, even when Aurora is stubborn, grumpy, or pushing him away. His unconditional patience seriously made me melt. Plus, his nickname for her "Roar" was the cutest thing ever. And don’t even get me started on Jack’s dirty talk... it was absolutely on point and made their chemistry even better. One of my favorite lines from him perfectly sums up their dynamic: "I don't pity you, Roar, I'm just waiting for the day when you stop pitying yourself." Ugh, my heart. 🥹 There’s also a small touch of mystery that keeps the story moving without taking away from the romance. If you love small-town settings, slow-burn chemistry, and good guys who still know exactly what to say, you’ll fall for this one just like I did.

Broke, single, and mourning her career going up in smoke, she decides to kick-start her new life by renovating the bones of an old beach house hidden along the Carolina coast. What a cliché—inheriting a fixer-upper from a deceased relative. That kind of thing only happens in books. But beggars can’t be choosers. The Old Whitlock Place, and all its secrets, is home sweet home for the summer. Jack Wharton didn’t expect to find a summertimer squatting in the dilapidated mansion next door. As a career firefighter tasked with protecting Cedar Island, North Carolina, he’s seen a thing or two. But he’s never seen anything quite like her. Painting walls and fixing floors in the middle of summer shouldn’t be that hard to handle. But the temperature isn’t the only thing that’s hot. Can Jack and Aurora’s sizzling romance stand the heat? Or will the secrets they uncover consume them? 700 Senses of Summer is a fun summer story full of witty banter, the best girl gang you’ll ever meet, mystery, and a scorching romance with a swoony happily ever after!
