When the sun goes down, it only gets hotter.

Tessa:
After my less than enjoyable childhood in Summersville, NC, I vowed I would never come back. But plans don’t always go accordingly.
After being kicked out of my own home by a man I thought I loved, Mimi is there to welcome me with open arms. Not only does she help pick me back up, but offering me a job at the bakery puts me in the direct path of him– Maddox.
I swore I wouldn’t fall, but after one look at his mesmerizing dimples and the brush of his lips against mine, I knew I’d break my own promise.
Only, as much as I want to let him in, how am I supposed to when I’ve been hurt so badly before?

Maddox:
Moving to this small town was supposed to be a fresh start. A way to escape the expectations of my name, be completely anonymous, and build something for myself, but she wasn’t part of the plan.
When Tessa moves in next door, she makes me want things I didn’t even know I craved.
Suddenly, getting to know someone and forming a relationship doesn’t seem all that bad. Only, she has walls built around her heart even higher than mine.
Can we let what we’re building blossom, or will our own defences keep us apart?

If you like small towns, strong and curvy heroines, and books with spice, then you are going to love Long Summer Nights!

Let me start by saying.. Long Summer Nights is not your typical small town romance. This book had the right amount of delicious spice, amazing side characters, and a community that makes me want to pack up and find somewhere exactly like it.

Tessa has been burned by a cheating ex that has stolen her dreams and left her homeless. Where does she go? Home. She feels like a failure and is scared to face the town gossip and bullies she ran away from. Her grandma is waiting with open arms and a job at the local bakery. She quickly realizes she was always meant to go home- she meets the florist who has his own past and a secret of his own.

Tessa and Maddox have chemistry that is off the charts hot. For a woman that has sworn off all men.. she quickly gives into the pull she feels towards Maddox and I AM HERE FOR IT.

Can I just say I love how amazing this little community Laura John has created? The way the town rallies around the LGBTQ+ youth is awe inspiring and what this world needs.

I’m so excited to read more from Laura John.

Sweet, spicy, and swoonworthy from beginning to end

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2022

💥Overall opinion:
I love a good contemporary small town romance and this one checked all the boxes for me. It had the perfect mixture of sweet and spicy sprinkled throughout.

⛔️Brief Story Summary:
Tessa moves back to a hometown she swore she would never return to after life doesn't go as planned. In an effort to start over, she joins her Mimi and works at the bakery, which puts her directly in the path of Maddox, the new flower shop owner next door. He's there to escape his family and the name that comes with it, not fall for the woman next door. Except all it takes is one look and everything goes out of the window.

⚡️POV:
Dual - Male and Female MC

💋Tropes:
Hidden Identity
Alpha Hero
Forced Proximity
Curvy Heroine

💣Main Character Rating:
Maddox - 4⭐️ - I love that he was nothing like I expected. He was grounded, had a good head on his shoulders, kind, and knew exactly what he wanted when it came to Tess. They balanced each other perfectly. I just wish he was a little more...dominant, especially where his ex was concerned.

Tessa - 4⭐️ - she was the perfect heroine for this story. I love the fact that she's a curvy woman and how relatable she was. Despite how awful the town was when she was growing up, she was brave enough to go back. The side of Tessa I wanted to see more of though, was the version that dealt with Maddox's ex.

💧Sadness level:
0/5

🌶Spice level:
2/5

📚Descriptive spice scenes:
Yes there are a few and they are steamy!

🚫Closure:
This author write small town beautifully. I'm not a fan of the nickname, baby, but in this book, I didn't much mind! Can't wait to see what else is in store for this series!

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2022

This book had a lot of potential and was just short of being what I needed. The two MCs were both very likeable. But. I think that was my issue. They had not real flaws. They fell so easily. The story was just too easy. The sexy scenes were good and sexy. They had chemistry but I just want a bit more. But this was overall a solid book and an easy read.

Laura John's Long Summer Night romance book is another fantastic read! It is about a small southern town where everyone knows everyone's business and where two lonely people, Maddox and Tesa, end up running away from their previous hurt. Ahh… the drama, the slow burn to inferno is there. Secrets, yes! Chunk full of secrets and being busy. But will Maddox and Tesa be too busy to fall in love??? Laura John's books deliver a good romance book, "Every- Single -Time" regardless of if it is rockstars, sports, or just plain 'ole romance with all the feels!

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice:🌶🌶🌶/5

Small Town Romance.

Tessa-Returns to her hometown after a series of unfortunate events.

Maddox-Moves to a small town to make a name for himself outside of his family.

Together they find each other making friends along the way. They support each other and it’s a feel good HEA!

Some spicy action but definitely has a plot and story!

Received as an ARC but enjoyed and reread when released on KU!

I love this book. We have Maddox and Tessa who have been hurt before so they don't trust easily and aren't looking for a relationship. They become friends, but can't seem to help the attraction to each other so they become more. I loved watching their story unfold and see them work at trusting each other. This is a low angst very sweet book that is definitely worth the read.

Long Summer Nights was a super cute slow burn that then brought all the spice.

I love that these two characters didn’t need to have a big dramatic trauma in order for them to admit their feelings. It was a delicious growth into a beautiful relationship.
