About this listen

She’s a romance writer who, against her better instinct, is finding love in the friend zone in a fun, sexy, and unpredictable romantic comedy by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster.

Who buys a cottage in a New England fishing village on a whim? A stressed-out, twice-divorced romance writer and single mother looking for a fresh start, that’s who. Despite what my besties say about my three-year dry spell, I’m not looking for a man. Or drama. Or sex. I’ve got enough on my plate with writer’s block and a daughter who refuses to grow up. Community. That’s what I need. So why are all these random men suddenly drawn to me? Is there a shortage of women in Chatemup, Massachusetts? At least I’ve found one funny, good-hearted friend, fish peddler Declan Miller, my brainstorming adventure buddy who stirs my creative juices. I’m his writer girl. He’s my dimple dude. Just scruffy, granite-chested, deep-voiced, ex-military brawn who happens to be—oh, Nicole, what are you doing to yourself?—stoking a long-neglected fire without even trying.

A self-confessed hot mess, divorced single dad Declan’s too old for relationship games. Not interested. Same here. So why do I keep thinking about him? Preferably naked. Because I’m a hot mess, too? At least he’s inspiring me to write. If only real life were like one of my novels. At least then I’d have a better idea of how this was going to end.

Melissa never disappoints with her novels. She writes real life characters with really life problems that we all face. Nicole moves to a beach town to spend the summer and finish her next novel. She doesn't expect to learn how to love herself again and find someone to love. Declan has lived here his whole life and spends most of it saving all of those around him. Together Nicole and Declan learn to stand up for themselves and how to love again.
Good dual POV narration.

I’ve read books by Melissa Foster before, enjoyed them, and moved on. Hot Mess Summer won’t let me go!
I love the community of characters Nic found at her new beach house. I enjoyed her adventures with Declan. I love how mature they are…and how deeply they fell in love.
The narration of the audiobook totally fits the vibe of the book. Next, please!

Emotional and fun!

I enjoyed going along the journey of Nic and Declan. It was a sweet adventure. They were the perfect match. Was a nice way to relax and listen to the audiobook. Aaron and Ava are two of my favorite narrators. They always bring the story to the next level.

This was a fun adventure. I adored Declan, he was such a sweet down to earth guy, he was honest, and kind and full of adventure. Nik was a great main character, she was smart, kind, loving and open to adventures. The chemistry between Nik and Declan was amazing, I adored their friendship & all of their adventures. I loved all of Nik’s new friends, I really enjoyed how they were so welcoming and supportive right away.
I really enjoyed how real this felt. The conflicts, the conversations, the interactions. They were so well written, they weren’t overly drawn out and the conflicts were resolved so well and respectfully.
This was such a fun quick summer read.

I loved reading this book and the audiobook a year later let me relive the story on a new level. I enjoyed every single second. Spicy, unique and beautiful. It really hits home as a 45 yr old woman.

I loved that the older people in the book were not hot messes! The main character was honest and not annoying! Not that any of Meliss’s characters are annoying!

Lovely sweet book with a bit of spice. Very neatly wrapped at the end with a big happy ending for everyone. I found it a nice reprieve.

Fun and flirty

I enjoyed this book for the character development, narration and story line. The characters felt authentic in that these people could be my friends. The main character experienced actual problems one goes through in life with a child, divorce, friendships and self growth. Loved the book and I want a vacation beach family tribe.
