Der Sommer, Der Uns Verband (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
I liked the premise of this new series, with an almost tropical beach in California where bungalows are rented to different people and bungalow number 9 bring out the romance in the air.However I'm not a huge fan of double romances, with two couples in one book, as it always feels to me like the author was not able to develop either story and the characters of each couple enough to really fill in a book. Moreover the beginning of this one was rather difficult to overcome: Jane was supposedly intelligent and professional but never behaved accordingly, while Griffin seemed to have the maturity of a 14-year-old. And it took them a long while to finally come to their senses.Ok as an introduction to the series but not as good as some previous books written by this author. What an incredible book! I read a lot of great romances, but rare are the ones with such realistic characters. Half the time, I would forget that I was reading and feel like I was standing there looking over their shoulders. I cried at one point, but the resolution of that particular scene was happy enough to carry me through the husbandly teasing I got for my crybaby sobs. Would 100% recommend this book, and I can't wait to read more Christie Ridgway.
What do You think about Der Sommer, Der Uns Verband (2014)?
A real disappointment; the blurb sounded much better then the original story.

not much plot... but if all you want is very very explicit sex.....
