Description

In the summer, everything feels possible… A heartwarming small-town romance about new beginnings, old secrets and how home is truly where the heart is. Fans of Susan Mallery, Pamela Kelley, and Mary Alice Monroe will fall head over heels for this romantic page-turner. All that Meghan Gray has left of her beloved Pappy is his cottage on the edge of the shimmering Atlantic Ocean. Longing to feel close to her grandfather, she returns to the golden sands of Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks for the summer, clutching the manilla envelope he gifted her tightly in her hand. On her first night on the sun- drenched island, she meets brooding Toby Meyers, a local businessman. She might feel lost without Pappy, but looking into Toby’s sparkling blue eyes feels like coming home. The beach house where she spent her childhood is just how she remembers: a shingled bungalow with two rocking chairs on the porch and shutters on the windows. As Meghan strolls along the sand with Toby, breathing in the salty air, she realizes she is making new memories… When Meghan opens the envelope, she finds a black-and-white photograph of someone she doesn’t recognize. If she can find out its meaning, and why Pappy gave it to her, she’ll unlock a secret that has been hidden for decades. The truth has the power to change everything Meghan and Toby thought they knew about their lives—and it will either bring them together, or break their hearts… See what readers are saying about An Island Summer: “I absolutely loved this book… I read this book in practically one sitting… I was hooked and couldn’t put it down… Beautiful.” NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Oh my, this was the perfect book to kick off my summer!!

  • Sorry, not gripping
This was a decent read, but gripping, it wasn't. Too easy to know how it would end. Wish there had been more expansion of characters. I wanted more. Too run of the mill summer Island story. Sorry. Will give the author another chance to redeem herself.

  • Sumer read
Not the strongest storyline. I was a little disappointed by how slow the story developed but how quickly it ended. It was a slow read.

  • Lovely Summer Romance
This lovely summer romance with an underlying mystery is another terrific story by Jenny Hale. It takes place in the Outer Banks where Meghan goes to live in her grandfather's cottage that she inherited, and her best friend,Tess, goes to help her for the summer. Meghan is searching what to do with her life, and she ends up with far more than she ever expected or even dreamed. It is a very well written, beautiful, heartwarming story. ... show more

  • love OBX
Love reading stories that take place in the Outer Banks. Love the beaches there and the openness of certain beaches where the crowds aren’t. Only wish I could come into an inheritance like that!
