Secrets of the Lost Summer
New York Times bestselling author Carla Neggers takes a respite from suspense to return to contemporary romance with the captivating charmer, Secrets of the Lost Summer.
Olivia Frost is back in her idyllic New England hometown to begin transforming her newly purchased home, an historic gem, into a getaway from her hectic life in Boston. Surrounded by the picturesque Swift River Valley, Olivia feels everything would be perfect if not for the truly terrible eyesore next door. Seeing as the owner is never around, Olivia can only determine he has no interest in his property. Which is why she decides to take matters into her own hands….
Ex-pro hockey star Dylan McCaffrey, now a highly successful businessman in San Diego, is amused after receiving a carefully worded threat from some woman in New England about some house he supposedly owns. When further examination reveals that he not only inherited what seems to be a ramshackle wreck, but that rumors abound it holds the key to a generations-old treasure, Dylan can’t resist the challenge. Or, as it turns out, his gorgeous new neighbor, as Dylan and Olivia pursue lost secrets, and discover a mystery wrapped in a love story…past and present.

The premise was good but the writing could have been better. I thought the chemistry between the two main characters was contrived. There's a difference between being told by the author that there is chemistry and seeing it for yourself. There were many times while reading that I wouldn't follow what the author was referring to and would read back over the previous paragraphs to see if I'd missed something, only to find that I hadn't. It wasn't so bad that I couldn't finish it.. only mildly frustrating and slightly confusing at times. I don't think I'll read anything else by this author.
