Publisher's summary

Indulge in this sweet summer romance bursting with small-town charm—an audio-first novella by New York Times best-selling author Emily March!

It’s peak tourist season in Eternity Springs, and Dana Delaney has her hands full running her ice cream parlor, Scoops. The last thing she needs is for her star employee to fall sick, but she’s in luck when a newcomer to town offers to fill in...and the fact that he’s sinfully handsome with a sexy Scottish accent is an added treat.

A-list sports agent Cal Buchanan is visiting Eternity Springs to scout marriage proposal locations for a client, not get distracted by the beautiful owner of the local ice cream parlor. But when she’s short staffed, he can’t resist the opportunity to dip in and help. If he plays it right, she might even return the favor and give him a tour of the town’s most romantic destinations.

Will their attraction lead to a romance more decadent than Scoops’ double chocolate toffee crunch—or will it melt away by summer’s end?

Perfect summer romance full of fun and hot Scots!

The Summer Melt has everything you will love for a beach read: ice cream, a wonderful Colorado small town, hot Scots, a romantic engagement plan and lots of fun and romance. The dual narration with the swoon-worthy Scottish narrator for Cal and the female narrator who is perfect for ice cream shop owner Dana works very well. I especially love that Dana swears using ice cream flavors that she names after Colorado features! Cal is sexy and romantic and he competes with his younger brother to see who is the hottest Scot in town. Lots of fun and love in this one!

my first romance novella

This is my first experience reading a romance novella, unless you count stories about the Harvey girls whi h I read because I am a train aficionado. This story was sweetly romantic and kept my mind off work while doing chores. I save my credits for long reads and enjoy thd free short stories, sampling authors that are new to me. I would choose this author again. Oh yes, accolades to the reader. I adore the Scottish accent.

Great escape

Great listen! My only complaint was that it ended too soon. It was fun and entertaining. It left me smiling. Yes it was a little predictable but not so bad it ruined the story. Just enjoy it!

Fast quirky romance

I picked this out as a whim and was pleasantly surprised. The story is a short listen but very entertaining. The characters entertain as the story continues and the ending great. Thank you for a surprise read!

How sweet

This was a sweet story, sadly I felt the lead-up was sweeter than the main event and was disappointed. Everything in the last half an hour of the story felt rushed. The narration was wonderful and they brought the characters to life. I just wish it had ended as strongly as it began
