Slow Summer Kisses by Shannon Stacey
I didn't quite expect to read a story centering a recluse and an extreme yuppie, but I did enjoy it. Looking back, I'm not quite sure what I was prepared for, but Shannon Stacey didn't disappoint me, whichever route. I loved how well each character's personality was written, and how they stayed very true to form right to the end, keeping the integrity. The novella was super funny and I found myself laughing outloud on multiple occassions. There was nothing I disliked about the book except, perhaps, that Anna didn't calm herself quite as much as I'd hoped as quickly as I'd hoped, so her resolution seemed a little sudden. All in all, Slow Summer Kisses was a great start for summer reading.
"Anna Frazier is used to living life at 100 mph, but being downsized out of a job in the financial industry has her permanently stalled. With nowhere to go, go, go, Anna hails a cab to her grandparents' neglected New Hampshire camp to plan her next move. It seems like a good idea—until she realizes there's no takeout to be had and the boy next door has grown into a sexy but surly recluse.
Cameron Mayfield knows he can kiss his peace and quiet goodbye when Hurricane Anna blows in. She was loud and bossy as a ten-year-old—and besides developing some attractive curves, she hasn't changed. Cam's not looking for a relationship, especially not with a woman like Anna. He nearly broke down on that road once before. So why can't he stop thinking about her?
It's not long before their sizzling attraction leads to smoking-hot kisses. But as the days get shorter, Anna must decide if she's found a new road to happiness, or just taken a detour."
