Great story

Great story narrator was too breathy to the point of distraction and diminishing the quality

Good

Not the best of the series but it was nice to see Georgie get her happy ending.

I am a fan of Mary Sarah so one of the reasons I picked this book was due to her narration.

Overall a good short story.

A proper short story

I liked this better than the previous SS of this series. This one felt complete. It stayed focused to telling a concise version of their history and the current pursuit. I was a disappointed she gave so easilu in at the end because although WE, the reader, heard his truth she, the the FMC, never did! not sure if that was a whoops on the part of the author or if she just wants us to assume he confesses all prior to the HEA off screen. I went with the later.

Sorry, this was a snooze fest for me!

Of the three seasons I’ve read so far (Winter, Spring, and now Summer) this was my least favorite. Sure, Georgiana and Sebastian’s prior romance was supposed to be so earth-shattering and mind blowing, yet I found their story uninteresting—ESPECIALLY coming after Eleanor and Derek’s. Oh well! On to Autumn, the final installment of the series.

Entertaining

It had all the components a good book should have. Sigh. It would be fun if they bundled all four books into one, Then it would be worth buying. Each book is excellent and complete on its own but I wouldn’t buy it alone because it Is short… I love that the author using passion in our minds rather than graphic detail
