Someone is in the shadows watching the Lawson family.

The last year has been full of love, laughter and some heartache. Mara and Brenna have grown in so many ways. They’re confident, outgoing, steadfast women with goals for a long, happy life with the men they love. They’ve done it all while adapting to a new way of life, in a new city.

Their new relationships blossomed into wedded bliss. They are now thriving business owners. They have it all. Or do they? Their happiness soon comes to a halt when a stranger puts their family in danger.

Can they figure out who is trying to harm them before it's too late? Or will it all end in disaster.

My thoughts:

Dangerous Summer is the next book in the Summers in Seaside series.  While I did enjoy the story, I didn't feel like this one worked that well as a stand alone.  I kept feeling like I had picked up right in the middle of a series that featured these characters before.  We are thrown right into the action with little introduction to them or how their relationships developed.  This is season 2 in the overall  series of books, so I quickly I figured out that Dangerous Summer is a continuation from the book Summer Escapades from last "season".  I kind of wish I had read that first to give me more background on all of the characters.  Despite that, I did like the friendships and relationships.  The multiple points of view kept the story flowing.  I have the first book on my kindle so I can got back and see how it all started.  I do recommend this one.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 is back! Seaside is a small town located along the Oregon Coast and home of the Seaside Festival. The series returns in July with 14 new stand alone stories guaranteed to be filled with sun, sand and summer adventures that will tug at your heartstrings.

Barb is a Carolina girl by right and a Texan by birth. By day, she’s a desk jockey for a rural transportation company and a book lover, reading through as many books as she can. At night, though, she turns into her alter ego: a writer—cape optional, depending on her mood.

Her stories are a mix of real-life events, personal experiences, and the craziness of her own imagination and those of her best friends. And when their imaginations blend together, it can be crazy. Barb writes in multiple genres, encounters new adventures, creates new worlds, and has a fantastic time breathing life into new stories, creating something she hopes inspires anyone who reads to fall in love with them as she has.

Barb lives by one little rule: tomorrow is never guaranteed, so make sure you live each day to its fullest.
