Summer Daze: A interracial small town romance (Sultry Summer Series Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 61 ratings

Falling in love is easy, protecting your heart is hard.

Faith
A simple smile, a glance with hooded eyes, or the brush of someone's hand against mine–that’s all it’s ever taken me to fall in love.
It was simple and fun, until it wasn’t, but what was worse was realizing my fatal flaw.
Swearing off dating seemed like the most logical solution. If I didn’t put myself in those positions, then I wouldn’t get hurt.
But when Alec–the totally ripped, sweet, and incredibly sexy police officer– asks me out, I break my own golden rule.
Things move fast, and pasts collide to the surface, and I can’t help but wonder if I’ve made a mistake.

Alec
My main goal in life has always been to be someone people can look up to. Strong, dependable, and nothing like my father.
But after years on the police force and nothing more to show for it than lots of long nights and a lonely home, I decide it’s time to switch gears.
I noticed Faith the first time at the bakery and immediately felt a pull to her, so I kept going back, and not just for the coffee and sweets.
Finally asking her out, I let myself get lost in the connection we’re building, but they say all good things must come to an end.
A single night, one wrong word, and the ground beneath us starts cracking.
Can I fix what I broke and gain her trust again?

I loved this book. Finished it in one day. Laura wrote yet another amazing book. Her books make you feel good. They also make you feel other things for the characters when the characters are having a rough time. I also like how the couple is interracial. This is book two in the Sultry Summer books. This time the stories are about Faith and Alec. We met them both in Tessa’s story. Faith has had bad luck with relationships. She just wants to be single at this point forever. Alec keeps stopping by the bakery for a coffee. He always flirts with Faith. Out of the blue he asks Faith out. She says no. He tells her tomorrow is another day. He keeps asking her out and she keeps saying no. He won’t give up. He changes tactics. He asks her out as just friends. Faith finally says yes. They are going to do a Halloween costume contest together. While working on their costumes things heat up. Then they get interrupted by Alec’s phone. Alec and Faith both decided that they want to be more than friends. Faith is hopeful that Alec is not like all her past boyfriends. There’s an incident between Alec and his father. Faith takes off and is not sure she still wants to be with Alec. Read the book to find out what happens between Alec and Faith.

    Faith works at a coffee shop and she has a secret crush on the police officer Alec but she's too shy to ask him out. Everytime Alec comes into the shop he flirts with her. He also has a secret crush on Faith but he is also scared to ask her out. Alec comes in to get coffee everyday but this time it's his day off and he gets a cinnamon roll with his coffee and he asks faith to join him at the table. She finally agrees to join him and he gets up the courage to ask her out but she makes up an excuse and runs and hides in the back of the kitchen. Alec is determined to get Faith to say yes so he goes in everyday, gets his coffee and asks her out but she always says no. Faith always says no because she doesn't want to get hurt again but she finally agrees to just be friends with Alec and they are going to a halloween party together but just as friends. read the book to find out if Alec finally wins over Faith's heart and they end up together.
    I loved this book. Laura John writes the best romance books. I'm not a big fan of romance books but I do love Laura Johns books.

    🚓 ARC REVIEW ☕️
    Review: 4/5 ⭐️
    Steam: 2.5/5 🔥

    #summerdaze is the all new small town romance by @authorlaurajohn

    Alec is a young, attractive and workaholic police officer. He wants to be the best, so he is working to the bone. Everyday he visits the bakery to see the girl he’s crushed on for as long as she’s been in town. Now that he’s ready to see where it goes, she’s making things difficult. Can he prove to Faith that she deserves the best or is he going to keep getting turned down?

    Faith is an amazing friend who wears all her emotions on her sleeve. She knows she falls hard and fast for the wrong guys, so when her longtime crush asks her out she declines. Not wanting to get involved when she feels like she isn’t good enough. Can she open herself up once more for possibly the perfect man, or has she completely closed off her heart to any kind of love?

    This was a cute book. Small town romance, great group of friends who genuinely care for one another and opposites attract. Alec wants to show Faith she deserves a real man who loves every part of her. Faith is a curvy, spunky girl who’s been hurt too many times to count. These two work together well. I wish it was a little longer to see more of their relationship play out. But overall a cute, quick read.

    This is the second book in the Sultry Summer series but can be read as a stand-alone book as well. Alec & Faith have a wonderful small town romance story full of fabulous characters and dynamic plot points. It’s mostly sweet but has a touch of spice 🌶 to keep it realistic as well as entertaining & interesting. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

    I love that this author works hard to make sure her books are inclusive; that each book is diverse so represents all skin pigmentation colors, sexual orientation (including LBGTQ+) and genders. She works hard to get the correct information from reliable sources and people so that no one is described in an offensive manner. Laura John also believes in being a true advocate for the normalization of therapy and mental health awareness. I admire her dedication and determination to include the topic in every book I have read so far.

    Summer Daze is book two in Laura John’s Sultry Summer Series. Sultry is right. Summer Daze is an interracial romance between Faith, a beautiful curvy waitress, and Alec, a sheriff’s deputy in a small town. Their story is filled with steamy romance as Faith and Alec take a chance on each other and fall in love. Both carry baggage from previous relationships, so they have a rocky road to their HEA. Summer Daze has lol moments and times when you need tissues. Ahh! It is so good! Laura John’s a talented writer of all romance genres, including rockstar, sports, small town, mm, and dark romance.

    Alec has a crush on Faith. Faith has a crush on Alec. Will they do anything about it? What are we grownups that aren't afraid of emotions, of course not. Alec has to get up the nerve to ask, and Faith has to try to get over the past horrible relationships and the trust issues that comer from being burned before.

    As the second book in a series I'm glad that we get more characters from this awesome small town, but I'm equally glad that this can act as a stand alone if you haven't read the first one. This is a lovely fast paced easy read that is thoroughly enjoyable. Most of all I love how family in this book isn't just the family you are born into but rather who you choose later in life and how great friends can be there when you need them.

    This is the 2nd book in this series, and this is Alec and Faith’s story. Faith has been burnt too many times in the past, and she now just wants to remain single, while Alec is a sweet and sexy police officer who works hard. Alec keeps coming into the bakery, and there is an attraction between him and Faith. When Alec takes a chance and asks Faith out, will he be able to convince her to take a chance on them being together? This is a beautifully written story which is an emotional roller coaster, with humor, witty banter, family, friendships, mystery, insecurities, trauma, and love, which leads to an entertaining and steamy addictive page turner.
    I received a free copy of this book via The Hatters Author Services and the author, and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
