Publisher's Summary

Steamy summer nights with a hot older man aren’t the smooth sailing Seb expects.

A mysterious older guy

Seb Williams has one plan for the hot, sultry nights of his summer vacation - to get laid. What isn’t on the agenda? Running his uncle’s fishing business. Seb has no choice but to help his family. So it’s goodbye, Ogunquit’s gay bars and hook-ups.

And it’s hello, Cape Porpoise, a quaint, quiet fishing harbor. A small town that promises to be boring AF until he meets Marcus Gilbert. His summer prospects start to look promising. Silver fox - hell yeah. Hot bod? Check. Slow, sultry gaze? Oh yes!

Only one problem. Marcus Gilbert plays hard to get.

A hot distraction

Cape Porpoise is exactly how Marcus remembers it from long-past childhood, and just what he needs. A sabbatical to get his life back on track and work on his book. Peaceful surroundings. The calm of the ocean.

Perfect - until Marcus’ boat is well and truly rocked by a hot, younger guy.

Marcus can’t ignore the lure of Seb’s lean frame and gorgeous eyes. One night can’t hurt, right?

Except one night leads to another, and another.

It’s just a summer fling - until it isn’t, and the pair are suddenly in uncharted waters.

Because now, Marcus’ past threatens to tear apart their future.

Suspense 😳

A great story as always from K.C. Wells, full of emotions, steamy as well as funny, heartwarming as well as heartbreaking at times...plus a secret I couldn't figure out, one of the MC held me in suspense for a long time 🤪

Summer Love

Book 3 in the Maine Men Series and it did not disappoint. I enjoyed reading Seb and Marcus' story.
I was hooked from the day I read the blurb of book 1, Kc does a great job outlining personal issues and struggles and that draws people in.
Thank you KC Wells, keep up the good work.
Thank you John Solo for narrating the author's beautiful work.

Seb's Summer

You never know where life will take you. Both Seb and Marcus are in Cape Porpoise but for different reasons. When their worlds collide sparks fly but are the two just passing the time or could it deepen into something worth fighting for?

I enjoyed Marcus and Seb. The two are good together and it was nice to see their relationship grow. Seb is a good man and lets Marcus decide what that relationship will be. He doesn’t push and they grow naturally but Marcus is hiding a secret, one that threatens everything. Can their attraction turn into something that will withstand this secret? This is a sweet sexy story that will pull on your heart and have you believing in love. Narrator John Solo does a good job of bringing out the emotions of these characters and I was quickly immersed in their story.

Amazing listen!

This is such a heartwarming amazing story. I love Seb and Marcus! Their story is definitely a story that gets your emotions and thoughts going. Such a beautiful story. Then John Solo does an amazing job being this story to life. I love all the voices he does and how he pulls me even more into the story. Such an amazing listen!

Laughs, romance, steam, & more

This book has it all and then some. Seb's t-shirts are the best! Trigger warning for past drug use.

Marcus and Seb

Amazing John Solo did a amazing job bringing these characters to life. Seb has to help his family and it ok with that but after endless nights of hot sexy times he is bored in quaint Cape Porpoise until he meets Marcus. This is hot and steamy with lots of fun romance adventure with a young man looking for the perfect silver fox and finding him. Amazing.

A Gripping & Heartfelt Story! Exceptional Listen🎧

I loved everything about this book, from K.C. Wells’ wonderful writing style to the amazing characters and storylines she created to the perfectly cast narration who brought it all to life from the pages to my ears. You can feel how much heart Ms. Wells put into this book as the heartfelt emotions pour off the pages and tug on your heartstrings. I am loving the Maine Men series, the characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they are easy to care about too. Each book in the series featured different lead characters and can be enjoyed on their own, though I highly recommend them all. This book brings us Seb Williams and Marcus Gilbert’s story. Seb is the Maine Man, he is a schoolteacher and has been looking forward to having the summer off but he gets a bucket of ice thrown on his hot summer plans, instead he will head to Cape Porpoise, a quiet fishing town to work on his Uncle’s fishing boat while his Uncle recovers from his broken pelvis. Seb thought it was going to be a long, boring summer, but that is not how it went, and he may have found exactly what he was looking for right in Cape Porpoise. Marcus remembered visiting Cape Porpoise when he was younger and figured it would be the perfect place to take a break from his hectic city life and rethink things. He did not plan, nor did he expect to meet a gorgeous eyed young man, one that he felt an attraction to, he tried to ignore him, but it was inevitable the chemistry between them was electric and he could only ignore it and him for so long. It was like these two were meant to meet and were meant for each other. I loved the originality of this story and how it all plays out, the plotting is brilliant, the real life struggles were touching and presented realistically. This book has the perfect balance of heavy and light hearted moments, there is never a dull moment and the story is captivating from start to end. K.C. Wells, thank you for another exceptionally beautiful story and a steamy hot romance.

🎧📚🎧 And for the stellar narration, John Solo is a wonderfully talented narrator and versatile voice artist. He has a complete understanding of the characters he portrays, giving each a voice that suits that character’s persona to a tee, sounding believable in every role that he plays and just as I picture the character to sound. You could hear how much heart he puts into his work as he captures the characters’ emotions and projects them into his performance. He sets the perfect tone for the story, handles the back-and-forth dialogue with effortlessly and never misses a beat. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fantastic listen.

Seb and Marcus

Seb is a High School teacher, out on Summer break, when his Uncle is injured and needs his help with the Lobster boat, so Seb heads to help where he runs into a man at the Supermarket that catches his eye. Marcus is staying at the family holiday house, taking a break from his stressful life in New York. They start as friends and soon blossoms.

Steamy & intense with sweet summer sighs

This is an intense love story that's genuinely sweet and steamy as hell. Seb, a teacher whose summer has been ruined by having to help out in a family business, meets that person who means enough that he's willing just to pursue friendship if it'll keep him around. That is until the guy's meddling sister turns up!

Although you don't have to have read the first two to enjoy this , I think they give a sense of who Seb is seen as by his friends. This book gently peels away those layers to the sweet and sensitive guy behind the persona.

The sheets (and other items of furniture) might be burning up but the way the relationship develops with each man risking his heart is what really makes it. There are moments so intense you can't put it down and by the end you'll be fighting for a happy ending for each of these lonely men.

The narrator enables you to forget he's there as you lose yourself in the voice of each character.

Well worth a listen.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and provided an honest review in return.

Wonderful series and a great book

We meet Seb, a school teacher, on summer holidays with plans to hang out with his friends and have some summer fun, getting laid. But, unfortunately, his mother and family have other ideas.

Marcus has escaped from the city, his job and his life in general, heading to his families summer home. What he doesn't need is any distraction from a hot fisherman.

I love these two characters and the summer fling. The way the author has set up the characters and Cape Porpoise helps you visualise the story's surroundings. The back story for Marcus is so well described, and you get all the heart feels for this character, so well written.

Even though this book is part of the Maine Men series, each book, in my opinion, can be read alone.

A well-written book about men, love and second chances in life: Great Narration from John Solo again. I speed up the narration to 1.50. but this is usual for me, and I find most people read too slow for me.

A Beautiful Performance by Solo

The Manie Men series is narrated by John Solo, and you can read any of the novels in this series as a standalone. There's a large cast of characters in this story, and Mr. Solo provides a unique voice for each of them. I always get a kick out of his female characters, and he totally nails Marcus' mom and sister! John Solo does a fantastic job with the more emotional scenes in Seb's Summer, and this is a beautiful performance.
 
K.C. Wells is taking us through a whole range of storylines in her Maine Men series. While some of the novels are a little lighter than others, so far they’ve all been wonderfully entertaining, filled with humor, friendship, and romance. Each novel has a life lesson, or some kernel of wisdom embedded in the story, and so it is with Seb’s Summer.
 
I don’t want to give anything away, because the way Ms. Wells reveals Marcus’ story is artfully done. (I wouldn’t want to rob anyone of the experience of discovering what led Marcus to reach the point in his life where he needed to escape to Maine.) This man’s journey is emotional and powerful, and extremely relevant in today’s world.
 
Seb has his own journey to make, and up till now we’ve known him as a fun loving guy who’s a bit of a party-animal. He’s watched some of his buddies find their happily-ever-afters, and made no secret that he’d like to find his own! It’s absolutely charming the way he sets his sights on Marcus, and then proceeds to reel him in (that’s a pun based on Seb’s summer job lol).
 
With important messages about relevant issues, and her characteristic humor and wit, K.C. Wells’ Seb’s Summer is not to be missed.

Another great book in this series; I loved it!

I loved this book when I read it back in August and I knew that the only thing that could make me love it more would be to hear John Solo perform the audiobook. 😊 John really is one of my favorite audiobook performers and did a fantastic job, once again, with Seb’s Summer.

Seb really did not want to spend his summer working as a lobsterman in the tiny town of Cape Porpoise while his uncle recuperated from an injury. He figured there would be nothing to keep him interested and that his summer would be filled with boring and back-breaking work. Boy was he wrong.

Marcus Gilbert is in Cape Porpoise to get away from his hectic life in New York City. There are hints along the way in the story but it is pretty far into it before we find out what is really going on. There is no trigger warning for the story because it would be a big spoiler.

Both Marcus and Seb have been players with no serious thoughts of having a real relationship but that changes so much over the course of the summer. Yes, they have a lot of hot and sexy time together but they also spend time just being together and enjoying each other’s company.

K.C. Wells really knows how to write a hot story but this was about so much more than what Seb and Marcus get up to between the sheets. It’s about Marcus’s large and welcoming family and also about the secret he’s keeping. We also get to visit with Seb’s found family of friends and their significant others.

I’ve loved all of the books in this series and I’m really looking forward to reading the next one.
