The Summer We Kept Secrets

The Destin Diaries, Book 4

De: Hope Holloway, Cecelia Scott

Narrado por: Leslie Howard

Seven summers. Two families. One beach house. And a diary that holds all the secrets.

As summer settles over Destin, the Summer House welcomes its smallest—and most life-changing—new arrival. For Jonah, learning to be a father means facing the past he tried to outrun… and building a future he never expected.

Tessa is navigating a new chapter—one that challenges everything she thought she wanted. And when Kate returns with her teenagers in tow, her rekindled connection with Eli sparks more than just romance. It stirs up questions neither of them is ready to answer.

In a season of sun and second chances, some secrets will be kept, while others will change the families forever.

Complicated Families

I enjoyed the full series! The dynamics. Twists and turns kept me on my toes. Nicely written. I loved the series!

love the author and her stories

I loved it all but mostly the change in Maggie, Jo Ellen's sweet personality as well as Jonah moving forward!!!

Love love love this series and narrator

This series is such a bright spot in my day!!! I love all Hope Holloway’s and Cecilia Scott’s series, but I love them even more combined. And I really love Leslie Howard’s narration. She is my favorite narrator!!! I love the references to their other individual series, the depth of the characters, but I especially love the humor written and delivery by Leslie of Maggie and JoEllen. I listen while I am walking and I bust out laughing so many times. People probably think I’m goofy!!! I’m not even finished with this book and can’t wait for the next one!!! Keep up the great writing and exceptional narration!!! Love it!

Smooth as a coastal breeze

Absolutely love these authors and this series. Inspiring and motivating to keep the faith even in unexpected tumultuous circumstances.

wholesome fun story

Loved the strong Christian storyline, family togetherness, and over coming challenges. This was a fun read.

Love this series…

Wish there were more books in the series! I love these two crazy grandmothers! Great family interactions.

Keeps getting better!

This was one of my favorite of the Destin diaries! Now I just have to wait for the next one to come out!

The entire story

liked everything..... including the narration.....I cannot wait to listen to the next book and the next hopefully

Love most of the characters & storylines

I continue listening to the series as I have fallen in love with many of the characters. The character of Eli is far too religious and churchy for me and I find it difficult to listen to his chapters. I will continue with the series as I am invested in all of the other characters and can’t wait to find out where the story takes them.

Heartwarming

Leslie Scott is an exceptional narrator. I look for her books. I like the unconditional love and forgiveness and closeness that this family has. I like the romance but no racey scenes and good Christian values .
