Synopsis

Spend a summer with three of your favorite authors! Come to Spruce Island, off the coast of Washington, and visit Rainshadow Lodge, a rambling Victorian. Three women each spend a month there—a month that will change their lives! Old Things by Jill Barnett Catherine, divorced for almost a decade, returns to the lodge, where she'd spent summers while she was growing up. Now, all these years later, she encounters Michael, the love of her teenage life—and falls for him all over again! Private Paradise by Debbie Macomber The next month, Beth shows up with her teenage son, Paul. It's their first vacation since she was widowed. She ends up sharing the place with an attractive stranger—John Livingstone—and his difficult twelve-year-old, Nikki. Soon Paul and Nikki have plans for their parents… Island Time by Susan Wiggs Then in August, architect Mitch Rutherford comes to the island, where he's joined by Rosie Galvez, who's been hired to provide an environmental report. Mitch is a workaholic on a deadline, while Rosie's attitude is…relaxed. But they fall in love despite—or because?—of their differences. Experience the romance of that summer place!

I borrowed this on a whim as my current audio book had expired without me realising. It was because Debbie Macomber was one of the authors.

Friends, stay away from the wanton Victorian perversion that is "That Summer Place." That summer place is full of smut and I'm not a prude, but the descriptions are tired and boring.

Goodreads review by Monique on August 15, 2017

Three novellas in one volume. The first one was really good. After that they went downhill. The second one was ok and the third was downright awful.......more
