The Summer Escape

A Novel

De: Jill Shalvis

Narrado por: Andi Arndt

Secrets are revealed and forbidden sparks ignited in this sizzling Sunrise Cove standalone, a tale of enemies to lovers, redemption, missing treasures, and love—by romance superstar and New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis.

Anna Moore didn’t just wake up one day and decide to go on a wild quest—especially since her life no longer lends itself to wild anything—so how in the world does she end up racing against the clock with Owen Harris, a sexy, enigmatic adventurist, to prove her beloved dad innocent of stealing a million-dollar necklace?

It’s all Wendy’s fault. Her older, bossy sister, who’s seven months pregnant and on bed rest in their small Lake Tahoe hometown, is desperate to clear their departed dad’s name. Owen, though, is convinced he’s guilty as hell and wants to return the jewelry back to its rightful owner—his elderly great aunt. Together Anna and Owen go on a scavenger hunt for clues to the past (with Wendy remotely along for the ride via an earbud, supplying a running wry commentary to boot).

On opposing sides and suspicious of each other as they are, Anna and Owen still can’t deny the inexplicable and explosive chemistry between them on this heart-stopping adventure, the outcome of which will prove the necklace isn’t the only thing stolen—their hearts have been as well.

What makes Jill Shavis books great

I just love this author. Her books are refreshing and enjoyable
The narrator is perfect
So good I need to read it again. That is signs of a great book and author

Not like other shalvis books

This book read like a mystery. The story was not initially something I was drawn too compared to other books by the author. The character did not have the issues often written about in her other books. The brokenness of the characters often draws me in. I can connect it to someone I know or myself and I read the shalvis book to the end to see how the issue is worked on by the fictional character.

Although I enjoyed the sisters relationship and the slow burn of the romance I wasn’t as connected to the story . The plot involved a Dad who strongly impacted the girls - though my own dad was super cool I couldn’t connect. I put the story down 7 or 8 times. It took me 1 months to complete it vs the 2 days I usually take.

This mystery type genre may be a new direction for shalvis- she has had this in other books but the characters always had info about common diagnosis. No matter I’m a fan and will continue to read but also return to her old books for that info and the side splitting laughs.
