Hot Summer

De: Elle Everhart

Narrado por: Marisa Calin

Sparks fly when a young woman finds herself cast on a Love Island-inspired reality show and has to choose between her heart and her strategy in this sizzling new queer romantic comedy from the beloved author of Wanderlust.

This summer, things are about to heat up.

Cas Morgan has spent years of her life watching Hot Summer, the hit reality dating show that pairs together a bunch of sexy singles in an exotic island location. Like the rest of the TV-watching UK public, she’s captivated by the hot contestants, outrageous fights, and hilarious banter. But she never quite thought she’d be a part of it, until her company secures a partnership with the production team behind the show, and Cas is handpicked as a contestant. She won’t get any extra help making it through the eight weeks in the hot Cypriot sun, but if she does well and makes it to the finals, her long-awaited promotion will be secured.

Cas is ready to spend the summer trying to make herself more likeable to win over the voting public—and, if not likeable, then at least iconic. But just as she steps into the villa, her entire plan goes off course. She’s instantly smitten with fellow contestant, Ada, who shockingly appears to be on the show to find a genuine relationship, one Cas can't give. Ada is gorgeous and charming, and seems to like Cas exactly as she is, sharp-edges and all. Cas isn't used to the side of herself Ada brings out, and when their connection becomes undeniable—and Cas's own standing in the villa precarious—she's torn between listening to her heart or sticking to her strategy.

delightful and fun summer read

i had SUCH a blast with this one. for whatever ungodly reason (probably enjoying watching the straights be messy) i enjoy watching love island (the reality tv show this is VERY obvs based on/taking from) and to have it be SAPPHIC and GENUINE with the romance and friendships, is just the sweetest icing on the cake. it was so much fun. i loved ada (what a goddamn dreamy love interest, i only wish we got a little of her pov, but that's bc i'm greedy) and i adored being in cas's pov. femy (or however you spell his name, i listend on audio) was so adorable and such a good friend to cas. i loved watching cas and ada fall in love, and it was just such a fun summer read. i'm really glad that i listened to audio on this one, as marisa calin was a fantastic performer. she had great accents, really interesting distinctive character voices, and a lovely voice to listen to tell the story.

this is gonna become a regular summer read for me, i think.

Great Summer Romance Story

Loved the characters and the build up of Cass and Ada. Worth the listen and not too long!

Well done

A well written romp reminiscent of a million in one TV shows. If only the TV shows were so enjoyable.

Brain Candy

Such a fun book! If you like dating shows, especially Love Island, I think you’d love this book. It has drama, dream couples, friendship, and silliness. Well narrated, steamy at times, and the perfect “beach read.”

Hot Summer

This was a fun summer read!

Cas and Ada meet on a reality TV love show. Their intentions for being on the show are different, but they clearly have a connection to each other. While you're reading, you actually feel like you're watching this reality show - you can see the attraction, the heat, the fun, and the drama amongst the contestants. Really well written!

Marisa Calin did a wonderful job narrating!

Was OK

I am not into reality TV and I am not into reality romance apparently. The story wi written well,even if it is not my cup of tea, and narration was very good .

Sizzlin"

Didn't know if I would get into this novel, but it surprised me. There were so many characters and each portrayed quite nicely, What I mean, is that you actually felt like you knew them. I am glad that I bought this novel, Elle Everhart. You did good. And I'm still out of breath from the way Marisa Calin narrated it. All around, my suggestion for audible members, BUY THIS ONE. you'll be glad you did.
