Rebel Summer

Falling for Summer, Book 7

De: Cindy Steel

Narrado por: Marli Watson

Every good summer has a little bad…

I wasn’t supposed to be in Sunset Harbor for more than a weekend. But thanks to—let’s just call it—an unforeseen act of stupidity on my part, I’m here for the whole summer. And for the first time in my life, I’m in a whole lot of trouble.

The sentence? Community service paid toward the person I accidentally wronged.

The problem? That person happens to be Dax Miller. The guy who always spent more time fighting the law than obeying it. Also, the guy I once told to have a nice life amounting to nothing.

So… it’s been fun that I’m court ordered to serve him now.

Except the more time I spend with Dax fighting and fixing what was broken, the more I remember that sizzling…something… that’s always been between us. Or that smile of his that can get me to do just about anything. Let me be clear, I don’t do trouble. But what happens when the temptation to embrace that inner rebel becomes too strong to resist?

And what do I do when the guy who has only dated trouble his entire life, has his sights set on me?

Rebel Summer is a sweet, closed-door romance full of sizzle, witty banter, and chemistry but without explicit content.

This book is part of the Falling for Summer series, seven interconnected standalones by seven amazing authors that can be enjoyed in any order.

Loved it!

I have listened to other Cindy Steel books and all of them have been so good! This book was probably my favorite book I have listened to by Cindy. She knocked it out of the ball park! Dax was my absolute favorite 😍 This book kept me laughing and swooning. A definite must read!! You won't regret it.

Oh. My. Gosh.

This delicious book was the perfect cherry on top of the delicious sundae of summer books in this series. I truly love these characters! I’m not much of a rebel myself, so I was a little worried, and this book came through for me in every way! Rising above our challenges in life brings ultimate joy and sweet memories along the way. I never do this, but I’m about to start this book right at the beginning and read it through a second time. It’s that good.

Cute and clean

Really cute! I’ve loved everything by this author. There is one brief/vague scene where a guy is being too pushy after a night out, The author does give a trigger warning before the book starts.

Surprisingly great!

I thought this would be a fluffy summer rom com, but it was that and so much more! Loss, trust, finding your voice, and letting people in were all beautifully woven together to create a surprisingly believable and relatable story. I loved the chemistry and would have loved a dual POV from Dax (ps Cindy Steel has a bonus scene from him that you can download from her website!) but it was really fun to watch both characters grow and change over the book. I’ll definitely be reading more of Cindy Steel and I’m curious about more books from the Falling for Summer series!

Great summer romance

Enjoyed the back and forth point of view between highschool and present day. Very sweet relationship with character development.

LOVE

I absolutely love Cindy Steel! She always does such a wonderful job capturing your attention and making you feel all the things! I really enjoyed this book! 5 stars all the way!

So swoony!

Great narrator, great story, kept me from sleeping last night. Instead I spent the early morning hours giggling, swooning, and sighing.

Loved this so much!

New author to me but I'm love with her writing. I'll miss Dax & Lexy but the ending was perfect. I loved listening to their story unfold. Just the right amount of flirtiness, love and sweetness. Also had me giggling and smiling the whole time. Nothing more than kissing and honestly I don't think it needed to be more than that. The narrator was awesome as well!

Great listen! Fun story!

The performance was great. The story was sweet and fun. I loved Dax & Ivy’s story.

Excellent!

Ok, so I know the title and cover make this look like a certain kind of book, but it’s really not. This is actually a clean and sweet rom-com, fun, engaging, and most excellent. There are so many great scenes, but that car ride? Just hilarious 😂

Cindy Steel does a great job developing the characters and relationships. Not just the MCs (whom I loved), but the judge, Beau, their friends… such a fun cast of characters, and so endearing.

Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a clean rom-com.

Content:
There is no foul language, violence, or sex. There is mildly descriptive kissing and light innuendos, but it doesn’t go beyond that. There’s no mention of faith or God.

Trigger warnings - there is an emotionally abusive father, and a female character gets sexually assaulted (she is rescued before anything happens)
