Ratings and reviews

I totally enjoyed reading Taryn and Garrett’s sweet, second chance story in A Slice of Summer by Melissa McClone, book two in her Silver Falls series. Taryn Lawson loves her bakery but badly needs more customers to help prove to her parents that she is capable of taking over the family business. The upcoming summer fair is the perfect opportunity to reveal her vision with a specialized booth, showcasing her creative and delicious desserts. No matter how hard to tries, she needs help in order to get her booth built in time. Unfortunately, the only person with time to help her is the handsome attorney who ghosted her after last Christmas when they were spending time together before he left to return to LA. Garrett Andrews regrets not staying in contact with the pretty baker he dated during his holiday vacation, but there were valid reasons why. Back in town for his sister’s wedding, he’s hoping to apologize and make amends; even helping Taryn build her booth for the festival. Working together, Taryn and Garrett realize the attraction and chemistry they shared before is still there, creating a special relationship. It will take small town magic, support of family and friends, as well as some compromising on their part before Taryn and Garrett obtain their happily ever after. Ms. McClone wrote a wonderfully sweet and moving story that is not to be missed. This story contains strong magnetism, chemistry, the magic of love, and charming characters giving Taryn and Garrett a chance at love, happiness, and a future together. I highly recommend A Slice of Summer to other reader. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

I really liked this story. A Slice of Summer is a fun read with low angst. Its second chance but with the wonder if it will make it through the murky waters. I liked Taryn and Garrett. They have a past and one day it was over. No reason why. Just gone. So Taryn is a bit bitter and unforgiving when Garrett is back in town. And she just can't seem to get a break. Garrett is there to help, but can Taryn find it in her heart to give him another chance. That was the part I could not get enough of. The back and forth. A Slice of Summer is a great weekend or beach read! It sets the summer mood right and you won't be disappointed!

The perfect summer read of a second chance romance between Taryn and Garrett. Taryn has a lot on her plate, she wants to buy her parents bakery, the summer festival and her friend's wedding. Of course nothing goes easy for Taryn, along with the return of her friend's brother, Garrett, who ghosted her six months earlier. Garrett does explain what happens and all is forgiven. He is always there lending a helping hand. Soon they can't deny the chemistry that they share. But can they survive a long distance relationship? Loved this sweet second chance romance. Wonderful small town romance. I had a hard time putting down this book with many life lessons brought up. This is the second book in the series but can be read as a stand alone. Can't wait to read the next book in the series. I highly recommend!
