Review: Summerhaven by Tiffany Odekirk

 

About:

Hannah Kent and Oliver Jennings pledged their hearts to each other as children. Now, years later, Hannah is thrilled to receive an invitation to spend the summer at Oliver’s family’s country estate. The path to wedded bliss is clear―so long as Oliver’s highbrow older brother, Damon, has ceased his juvenile antics, Hannah’s future looks bright indeed.

But from the moment Hannah arrives at Summerhaven, nothing is as she expected. Oliver seems disinterested in renewing their acquaintance, and Damon is not the brutish boy she remembers but a man intent on avoiding marriage. Although she has loathed Damon her whole life, when he contrives a ruse designed to win them both what they desire, Hannah warily agrees. All she has to do to reclaim Oliver’s attention is pretend to be madly in love with Damon. But when Damon is surprisingly convincing in his role as a suitor, it proves difficult to discern the line between pretense and true love.

My Thoughts:

Oh, I knew this was going to be my kind of read from the synopsis and I must say I impatiently waited for this story to be delivered. And it did not disappoint at all.

Hannah has been in love with Oliver Jennings since her childhood. She has played out their lives together and knows without a doubt they will have a happily ever after. However, when she comes back to Summerhaven at the request of his mother, it seems Oliver has not been pining away for her. In a twist of fate, or some rather devilish planning on the part of his older brother, Damon, Hannah agrees with her so called number one enemy to a plan that goes monstrously wrong. Or maybe it doesn't... Now Hannah is downright confused as Damon remembers their childhood a bit differently than her. 

Full of romance, wooing, sacrifice, and the gift of true love, Hannah is not so sure her once held dreams are what she longs for after all. Again, this story was truly delightful and a top favorite for this year.

I purchased my own copy, and all views and opinions are my own.
