Heart of Summertown, Book 1

By: A.J. Pine

Narrated by: Stephanie Rose

When a tornado tears through her hometown of Summertown, Illinois, wreaking havoc on the people she loves, social media manager Emma Woods has no choice but to head back home from her life in the big city to help rebuild. She's determined to use her social media savvy to put Summertown back on the map in time for the annual Garden Fest with rival town Middlebrook. Summertown really needs that prize money now. And if she can avoid Matteo Rourke—the reason she left Summertown in the first place—all the better.

Matteo can't help what happened that broke up his and Emma's relationship years ago. All he can do now that she's back in town is avoid her, but of course, everywhere he goes, Emma is there…

ok story horrible narrator

I wanted so badly to like this. the story was OK, a little predictable. I think the spicy scenes might have been ok if the narrator wasn't so boring and monotone. her voices were robotic and it made it such a bad experience.

Cheesy Romance at its Best

All the elements are there. City girl. Small home town. The festival with a competition. The old flame who lost touch. The city officials and goofy townsfolk. A snack of a story. I love the narrator Stephanie Rose and found this book by searching her name. She’s like an old friend and sometimes I just need to hear her voice.
