Book Review: Just Another Summer Enemy

 

He’s my heartless stepbrother who despises me. I’m the idiot who accidentally sent him some not-so-innocent photos …

Dayton Copeland is the antithesis of fun, sunshine, and sugar, which is everything I stand for. When tragedy strikes, we break our ten-year streak of no contact when we become co-owners of a dilapidated beachfront bungalow. We have one year to agree on what to do with it.

Of course he wants to sell. He spends his nights counting his money.

Between heated arguments about the budget and him crashing in my bedroom to help ‘oversee’ the project, I’m starting to wonder if I was wrong about Dayton’s true feelings for me all along.

When the salacious photos hit his inbox, he responds in a way my ex-husband could never.

The Florida sun is hot, but the tension between us just got ten times hotter.

Right when I think everything might work out, a tropical storm hits, wrecking our progress on the house. Then Dayton’s ex makes a surprise appearance, leaving me to wonder if his intentions with me are pure or if he was always…
just another summer enemy.

My Review

Summer and Dayton argue like step siblings. It has been about ten years since either has seen each other. Due to unfortunate circumstances, they are thrust back together. 

I am a fan of cute, cheeky nicknames. The one that Dayton gave Summer is both of these. He called her "Cupcake". Despite Summer accidentally texting Dayton some steamy pics of herself, the romance is still a slow burn one. However, I can guarantee you that it is worth the wait. 

"If I kissed her, I won't have been able to stop there."

I liked all of the other characters in the story. They just helped with the story, and no one felt like a side note. Ok, maybe Summer's ex-boyfriend, Axel. So glad that Summer recognized that they had no future and ended things. This book is a funny, steamy read!

Just Another Summer Enemy is a small-town summer romcom with broody/secretly obsessed step brother and a taboo forbidden love story. Each book in the Coconut Beach series is a standalone, and you can read the books in any order! Grab some sunscreen and a mimosa and get ready to live the sweet life in Coconut Beach!
