This week, on the Romance Writers Weekly blog hop, we're asked, "What’s your go-to summer read when you want heat, heart, and happily-ever-after?"
Wow. This is surprisingly difficult. As a kid, I had several books that I wanted to read again each summer. Nowadays? Not so much. I mean...Daphne DuMaurier's Rebecca, I guess? Or Jayne Ann Krentz' Eclipse Bay trilogy?
I guess I really want to say my Oberon series, because it feels like so much of that series was set in summer--the first, fifth and ninth books in the series, and at least two of the novellas. Also I definitely spent several summers writing it, so...
Here's a link to a free download to the series' prequel novella: Such Fleeting Pleasures.
TL Schaefer has a book that also feels like summer to me, The Summerland. https://tlschaefer.com/books/summerland/
Kelly Jamieson has TWO series that also say summer to me--although I can't remember offhand if they are actually set in the summer. But, on the other hand, they're set in Southern California, so they'll feel like summer to most people, anyway. lol!

Meet the Martinelli sisters: Rosa, Bianca and Allegra. These partners in wine have just inherited a once-storied winery in the heart of Napa Valley. They’re living the dream, right?
Not so fast! Because, as it turns out, not everybody is happy for them. And that includes their Uncle Geno who’d assumed the property would come to him.
There are hoops to jump through, barrels to get over, and a mountain of regulations they'll have to scale. But the sisters are crushing it—and we don’t just mean the grapes. They’re making wine, falling in love, and working together to restore their inheritance to its former glory, one pour decision at a time.
