An Endless Summer (The Summer Series) (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Another winner in the Summer Series by CJ Duggan. the onslow boys are back and in full heartthrobbing force. It's four years later and everyone has gone on to other things. Chris is in the city, Adam is in the army, Tess and Toby are still together (yay!), Sean has become a successful tradesman but the Onslow Hotel has taken a turn for the worse. So when Amy arrives thinking she will just be getting away from her lovey dovey parents she has a surprise. I must say I loved Sean and his flirty fun ways. Here he takes it upon himself to help Amy out and in the process falls for the girl. The fiesty fiery Amy who is pigheaded, stubborn and at times flys way off the handle.This though makes her more fun to read. The banter between Sean and Amy will have you hooting and hollaring. They are so much fun to read together. Amy decides to take it upon herself to make the Onslow what it once was and Sean helps. He even gets all the boys back to help. Chris helps manage the hotel again, Adam comes back and repairs his relationship with his two best friends and we begin to see him showing signs of more than friendship for Ellie (I hope I hope fingers and toes crossed!), Tess and Toby are just as cute and in love, Stan is just as sweet an pleasant and ringer is funny. As Amy is throwing liners at Sean and cleaning up the hotel she falls for Sean. Even gets jealous of the women she sees him with and her one liners to him are hysterical. She keeps him on his toes and Sean loves it.As the hotel gets back to itself, her dad has a health issue and when her parents see the hotel they decide to sell. Her mom though I do not like. She is money hungry selfish and thinks the worst of her daughter. The dad is a gentle man who shows such love and affection for his daughter but is tired and gives in to Amy's mom. This doesn't go over well but Sean is there for her and saves the day. Her prince charming.This is the funny witty story of Sean and Amy and how they get together. She keeps him on his toes and she reigns him in. A fun read that will keep you entertained. Let me start by saying i loved reading this BUT i was expectting sooooooooooo much more! Let me explain.Ok Sean was much hotter in the boys of summer. He was dripping hot, dripping sex appeal but it was just plan boring.The naughty scene if you will call them that well i had more fun reading a moaning text message from my ex than these scene's.What sean did at the end with the auction i predicted very early on. This didnt have the zing or the sexually tention, or the angst that book one had. Infact i didnt get no angst.I loved sean in the first one but i found him fake in this. I liked his love for amy and i loved how the story felt all about the Onslow. Its was great how everything was saving the Onslow, it was great but i felt there could have been soo much more to this story.Amy i like her its not everuday you get a young women at 19 with an attitude like she did for the Onslow. I didnt feel the connection or love between amy and sean. I love the author and i loved The Boys of Summer, but this one needed and could of been so much more.My rating is based on the love of The Onslow, the characters and the author..5 stars it could have been if the connection was there, more story line for sean and more angst. Got that all in the first one just not in this. Now novel 3 give us babies, egagements. I at least thought tess and toby would have been by now. I thought id get a lil more of how they had developed but that was boring, they were just there, no tess and toby are engaged etc. so give that to us in the nxt one
