Publisher's summary

THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

A glorious and tantalizing new escape from #1 New York Times bestselling author Carley Fortune.

This summer they’ll keep their promise. This summer they won't give into temptation. This summer will be different.

Lucy is the tourist vacationing at a beach house on Prince Edward Island. Felix is the local who shows her a very good time. The only problem: Lucy doesn’t know he’s her best friend’s younger brother. Lucy and Felix’s chemistry is unreal, but the list of reasons why they need to stay away from each other is long, and they vow to never repeat that electric night again.

It’s easier said than done.

Each year, Lucy escapes to PEI for a big breath of coastal air, fresh oysters and crisp vinho verde with her best friend, Bridget. Every visit begins with a long walk on the beach, beneath soaring red cliffs and a golden sun. And every visit, Lucy promises herself she won’t wind up in Felix’s bed. Again.

If Lucy can’t help being drawn to Felix, at least she’s always kept her heart out of it.

When Bridget suddenly flees Toronto a week before her wedding, Lucy drops everything to follow her to the island. Her mission is to help Bridget through her crisis and resist the one man she’s never been able to. But Felix’s sparkling eyes and flirty quips have been replaced with something new, and Lucy’s beginning to wonder just how safe her heart truly is.

Editorial Review

A romantic summer listen with a charming setting
Carley Fortune writes a vacation romance like no other. In This Summer Will Be Different, she transports us to Prince Edward Island, the beautiful backdrop to a forbidden love story between Lucy and Felix, her best friend’s brother. AJ Bridel’s tender performance perfectly complements this heartfelt story. Alternating between present day and flashbacks to the summers the couple clandestinely spent together beneath the soaring red cliffs and golden sun of PEI, we become deeply invested not only in their sexy romance, but also the special relationship Lucy has with her friend Bridget. I listened to this story while on vacation and nearly devoured it in one sitting. I can’t recommend this one enough for your next trip to the beach, the pool, or even the grocery store, for a truly satisfying escape. — Margaret H., Audible Editor

childish but sweet

I love the Author, but this book seems very childish, like it was written by a very young person, imagining adulthood.
I did love the choice of location and hoping to travel there one day.

FUN FUN FUN!

I laughed and cried! I loved this book as much as Every Summer After, which I adored! The chemistry between Lucy and Felix is off the charts!!! The loyal friendship between Lucy and Brigitte is so sweet. This is such a great feel good story that kept pulling me along that I couldn’t put it down. I will read this one again and again. A true beach read book. AJ Breidel is amazing as always and brought the characters to life!

Engaging romance set in Prince Edward Island

Chemistry among the characters is great. It’s hard to put the book down. I hope this gets picked up for a movie.

Lacked depth

The main characters lacked depth until the last few chapters. It was a struggle to finish unlike the other books by this author.

I love a good love story

It’s been a while since I’ve fallen in love with a love story. Finally something good! I felt the connection, the build up. And I really enjoyed both their personalities. Lots of spice, lots of angst. Their relationship grew over time. Realistic and I loved every second! Wonderful narrating !!!
