There's a thin line between love and hate.

After making one bad decision too many, Brynn Turner heads home to Wildstone, hoping to make a fresh start and protect her heart from future mistakes.

Having battled serious health issues her entire twenty-nine years of life, Kinsey Davis is tired of hoping for...well, anything. Kinsey is fierce, tough, and she's keeping more than one bombshell of a secret from Brynn - her long-time frenemy.

When Brynn runs into Kinsey's lifelong best friend and her own childhood crush, Eli, she never dreams it'll result in finding a piece of herself she didn't even know was missing. She could have real connections, possibly love, and a future - if she can only learn to let go of the past.

*I received a free copy of The Summer Deal. This has in no way influenced my voluntary review which is honest and unbiased.*

Shalvis has managed to create a cast of characters that felt so real to me! Sometimes, I wanted to slap them, and other times, I just wanted to hug them and tell them that everything would somehow be OK.
The intricate relationships, and the very different personalities of the characters were the two things that moved the story forward. And I am a big fan of character driven stories. Shalvis had two girls who hated each other at summer camp meet again as adults. Life had not been easy on either of them, but they both thought that other people's lives were better than their own. (And isn't that just something we do?)
Enter a very nice, sexy and handsome Eli, who was linked to both women in the past, and who wanted something more in the present.
A lovely, beautifully written romance that will make your heart soar!
