Secret Summer: A sun-kissed romantic comedy short read (The Agency) Kindle Edition

3.8 out of 5 stars 1,494 ratings

Violet Archer can't believe her luck. Her gorgeous new boyfriend is whisking her off on a romantic sun-drenched getaway!

Well, not quite. There'll definitely be sun. But there'll also be a advertising shoot, a film crew, their eccentric best friend, Max, and one of the senior partners of their new ad agency. Oh, and of course, the teeny tiny issue that Violet's boyfriend is her best friend and soon-to-be boss, Ethan Fraser, and if anyone finds out they're together, he'll be fired.

In the Santorini sunshine, can Ethan and Violet pull off a successful shoot, keep their secret hidden, and still find time for a little bit of summer sizzle?

This is a Short Story in the Agency series. It is set between Just Friends (book 1) and It's Complicated (book 2).

The Agency series is based in London and set in the exciting world of advertising. Following the intertwined lives of a group of kickass career women, the series is a heartwarming mix of angsty romance and laugh-out-loud humour. Each book is numbered chronologically in the series, but every title is a complete story in its own right.

RIENDLY NOTE: All of Elizabeth’s books feature realistic characters who do things real people do (like have sex) and say things real people say (like drop f-bombs).

    I think this book was hilarious and adorable. I love, love, love Max. He literally had me crying with laughter the entire book. He's a little uptight but if he is for you, you are good!

    In spite of it being a very short word count, it spent a lot of the time meandering through a mix of interpersonal actions and intrapersonal development. I was glad when I hit the last page, and it seemed to enjoy the characters being uncomfortable but working on their lives and messing up friendships.

    In spite of the fact I did not like it, this short establishes characters for later volume, so it earns four out of five stars-- but it did not make me want to read more because it was too wordy for what happened.

    Four out of five stars.

    I have no idea what this was about. There was no plot but a lot of subplots? Just reviewing to add another notch in my book list.

    Reviewed in Brazil on June 30, 2021
    so I read the first tale, then the first book and when I was reading the second one I felt something was missing, and I already had this book on my kindle library so I started it.
    IT'S SO AMAZING, THEY'RE EVERYTHING. they are so cute, I can't handle and, I don't know, I wish they get softer on the other books because I really really really love reading them being so cute with each other and I'm dating their relationship and I love max too I need his book. really.

    I dont have anything to say cuz I love them and I'm loving this series (and I shouldn't be reading it at this time of the day bUT I CAN'T HELP I NEED MORE CONTENT OF THEM)

    4.0 out of 5 stars Foi tão boa a leitura
    Reviewed in Brazil on March 2, 2024
    A história gira em torno da Violet Archer e seu novo namorado quando eles vão para trabalho juntos em um paraíso tropical para a filmagem de um comercial, acompanhados do melhor amigo dela Max e o parceiro sênior da nova agência deles. Com o pequeno problema de que se alguém da empresa descobrir que eles estão juntos eles vão ser demitidos.
    Eu encontrei esse livro em umas das minhas caças por livros de graça na Amazon e o número de páginas além de ser um stand alone me chamou atenção.
    A principio achei que não ia conseguir gostar tanto assim e ia ser mais um 3 estrelas por conta do tamanho mas a autora conseguiu fazer com que funcionasse.

    Foi minha primeira lendo algum livro dessa autora e achei a escrita dela boa e fluiu muito bem o ritmo de leitura. Achei ele pouco descritivo em relação a ambientação de certa forma mas acabou que eu não achei que interferiu muito com o desenvolvimento.

    Como já começamos com eles no relacionamento estável, deu a sensação de falta daquele desenvolvimento romântico no sentido de como eles ficaram juntos mas essa nunca foi a proposta do livro, então compreensível. Eu fiquei impressionada que consegui gostar deles mesmo com tão pouco tempo de leitura e achei o relacionamento deles muito engraçado em algumas interações. Único personagem que não suportei foi o amigo da Violet, o Max, quando chegamos mais no final por conta da personalidade escrota dele.
