A Summer to Remember!

 Thank you for reading with me.  I hope that you enjoy the books that I have shared.  Today I am going to share an older Elin Hilderbrand book, Summer Affair.  This book is book one in the Nantucket series.  It was one of the few that I haven’t read by Elin.  Let’s explore one more summer on Nantucket. 

Synopsis: 

“Claire has a problem with setting limits. All her life she has taken on every responsibility, assumed every burden, granted every request. Claire wants it all―and in the eyes of her friends, she has it: a devoted husband, four beautiful children, even a successful career as an artist. So when she agrees to chair the committee for Nantucket's social event of the year, she knows she can handle it. Claire can handle anything.

But when planning the gala propels her into the orbit of billionaire Lock Dixon, unexpected sparks begin to fly. Lock insists on working closely with Claire―often over a bottle of wine―and before long she can't ignore the subtle touches and lingering looks. To her surprise, she can't ignore how they make her feel, either. Claire finds the gala, her life, and herself spinning out of control.” (amazon.com)

My Thoughts: 

Summer Affair was one of the few earlier books by Elin Hilderbrand that I had never read.  It is also the first book of the Nantucket Series.  I liked the book. I wasn’t surprised by the plot.  I did find Claire to be an unlikable character, and I hoped her arc would show growth by the end of the book. The book is well written.  This book matters because some of these characters will appear in later books by Elin.
