About this ebook

He's one bad apple she just can't resist . . .

Kennedy Sinclair never dreamed she'd own a pie shop and an orchard in a small town like Destiny Bay. But nestled between the mountains and the Pacific Ocean, it's the perfect place to cross something off her "Life's short so eat the icing first" list and start her life over from scratch. Her shop, Sweetie Pies, is famous for its hot, flaky apple turnovers and sinfully delicious deep dish pie. For Kennedy though, nothing is more enticing than the tall, strapping slice of temptation who keeps coming back for more.

Luke Callahan is determined to make his hard cider business a success. With his beloved father's cider recipe and the opportunity of a lifetime in his grasp, he'll stop at nothing to get this deal done. There's just one catch: he needs Kennedy's apples. At first, he thinks it'll be as easy as pie to charm those apples right off her trees. But Kennedy isn't falling for his tender charms or his wicked ways. When the negotiations start heating up, so do the feelings they have for each other. And it takes just one kiss to seal the deal . . .

Ratings and reviews

After a devastating break up, Kennedy has the chance of a lifetime to do something more with her life – just for her, so she travels across the country to start over and take over a thriving bakery shop that specializes in everything apple. She has some big shoes to fill, but she is up to the challenge. Her plan hits a rough spot however, when Luke appears on the scene and needs the apples for his cider business from the orchard that Kennedy needs to keep her business intact. It’s a battle for apples and the prize is unexpected love. This was my very first time to read something written by Marina Adair, but after reading Last Kiss of Summer, I am sitting here wondering why. From the very first paragraph, I fell in love with Ms. Adair’s writing. She has a stunning way with words and I was completely captivated with this charming story that was both engaging and refreshing. I loved all the characters but especially loved the small town feel of Destiny Bay and can’t wait to revisit it in the next book. This was a great read and a spectacular start to what looks like will be an outstanding series! This story has it all – great characters, lovely story, charming setting and good old fashioned romance. I highly recommend Last Kiss of Summer if you love a light-hearted romance that is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.

I was worried starting this that I wouldn't love Destiny Bay as much as I love St. Helena's. Was I ever wrong. I am so in love with the quirky, quaint little town of Destiny Bay and Kennedy and Luke's story was a great one to start the series off! Luke Callahan is back in Destiny Bay determined to make his new business a success. With his father's hard cider recipe and his family's apples it's a sure thing. One little problem. His mother has made a deal with the town's newest resident, Kennedy Sinclair, giving her the rights to 3 acres of prime apple orchard. Apples he very much needs. Kennedy needed a fresh start and coming to Destiny Bay was the best bet. No way will she let the very handsome and sexy Luke Callahan keep her from making a success of her business. If he wasn't so adorable and charming she could resist him. Definitely. Probably. Maybe? Their relationship may start out a bit rocky but the spark between them doesn't take long to ignite. You don't want to miss these two finding their way. I highly recommend this one!

Last Kiss of Summer by Marina Adair....What a great start to a new series. I know when I see Marina Adair's name on the cover, I am in for a great story. I loved Luke and Kennedy they are very likeable, fun, hot with lots of chemistry for each other. The Destiny Bay series is going to be fantastic, I can't wait for the second in this series. If you are looking for and new book and starting a new series, here you go. I was given a complimentary book by publisher via NetGalley for an honest review.
