Publisher's summary

KATE

I tore out of rehab to win my husband back. It’ll work, too. He just needs to see that I’m clean, that I’m on my feet again.

Until that happens, though, I’ve only got one guy in my corner—Beck, my husband’s best friend, who takes me in against his will and keeps me sane.

Living with Beck is easier than I expected. And fun. Except I’ve got a long history of wanting things I’m not supposed to want.

And Beck may be the most dangerous of them all.

BECK

Kate had nowhere else to go—helping her out is the right thing to do. Though if she thinks the fact that she’s still married to my best friend means she’s safe walking around my house in nothing but a t-shirt…well, I’m somewhat less sure.

Because maybe Caleb could overlook her. Maybe Caleb could fail to notice her.

But from the moment we met, Kate’s been the only thing I could see. And no matter what she’s telling herself, she wants me just as badly as I want her.

I’m in love 🥰

Omg! Beck is really giving Josh a run for his money as favorite guy written by Elizabeth. Omg this book had my heart in a vice and what I would give to be able to read this book for the first time again. Beck and Kate are too precious to me and there are not enough words to encapsulate the perfection that is them. Kate, coming back from her most recent stint in rehab to win back her husband only to see how things have changed since she was gone. And Beck, helping her out while she was trying to win her husband back. It was angsty and stressful seeing what they both go through to get to their happy ending but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Life isn’t always straightforward and happy, Kate is very well versed in this and the pain she’d endured and overcome makes me so happy for her. She may have came back for the wrong reasons but she found her way. I loved every minute of this book and can’t wait for the next one!

Another really good book

Another really good book in this series. I haven’t listened to a lot of Elizabeth’s audiobooks. I’m a new fan. Samantha is amazing and just brings the book to life. Looking forward to listening to more

A great addition to the series!

I cannot lie to you I was hesitant about this one based on how book 2 evolved and knowing who this one was about HOWEVER! I really ended up enjoying this one!!! The narrators, Connor Crais & Samantha Brentmoor absolutely knocked this audio out of the park. They added so much emotion to an already emotionally tumultuous relationship and really made it top-tier.

Though my relationship and interpretation of Kate started off rocky, I really came to appreciate her character and couldn't help but root for her. It was really beautiful to watch her heal in the way she needed to given all that she had been through. I really liked how Beck was constantly there for her, and they both let down their walls for each other.

All in all, I think the angst in this one was at the same level of book 1 and I am curious to see the rest of the friend group continue to get their happy endings! Pls pls pls can we get more Luke/Juliet cameos I miss them sm.

Another Amazing Story!

I think this one may be the best yet! I have been loving 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝙨𝙤 much. From the first words to the last, she hooks me & this one was no exception, with masterfully told story lines and beautifully chiseled characters! I definitely recommend this one as well as the whole series!

I met Kate in book 2 & well, I didn't think she would be great here, but I was wrong. Bad ways & good ways, her story unraveled itself and absolutely hooked me. She had lots of pain in her life, lots of things to figure out & once she came back from rehab, she has no choice but to stay with Beck, her husband's best friend.

Beck was a character!! I loved him & his grumpy, cinnamon roll self! When Kate comes back into his life, it's all bets off & sparks flying as their chemistry lights the sky! Seeing him with Kate, seeing how he's always felt for her despite him being her ex's best friend, was wonderful!

Now for the narrators for the audio. 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑛𝑜𝑟 𝐶𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑠.𝑆𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑡ℎ𝑎 𝐵𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑚𝑜𝑜𝑟. It must be my era for them because I just can't get enough! Their duet for these characters was beyond perfect, putting their whole selves into these characters, breathing life into them. It was like watching a movie! 👩🏻‍🍳💋

I wasn’t sure I was going to like the FMC

At the beginning of this book I was sure I was going to hate the FMC, but I liked her at the end. I always love a HEA

Comeback

Connor was amazing as a narrator. Samantha has become a narrator I enjoy listening to as well. Narrating was great. Now to the story, Kate is fresh out of rehab when she discovers Caleb has moved on with someone else. She is on mission to get Caleb back at any cost. I did not like some of the things she was doing, she came off as selfish and immature. Then there is Beck who has loved her and is there for her despite her self-destruction. I don't want to spoil it but I was happy with how it eventually ended.

It’s a beautifully crafted story of learning to let go and how to forgive yourself.

What an emotional roller coaster!! Kate’s character development is incredible. There were moments where I was like WTH is she thinking?! LOL I went into this story completely blind not knowing what to expect. It’s much more emotional than I thought but I was also pleasantly surprised at the complexity of The Summer You Found Me. It’s more than a spicy romance. It’s a beautifully crafted story of learning to let go and how to forgive yourself. (With incredible spice 🔥) The Duet narration was AMAZING. What a rough and wild ride with the most beautiful ending! Hands down a 5 star read!

Connor Crais & Samantha Brentmoor were FANTASTIC. Incredible audiobook! I need the others in audios stat!

Great series

I really enjoyed this book. I really didn’t care for Kate in the beginning and wasn’t sure I would be able to like her, but as the story unfolds I did. As the story went on and her past was revealed and I could read her inner thoughts about her past, I came to empathize with her and understand why she made some of the choices she did. I liked the character development of Kate throughout the book. Beck was such a good man and I loved his character, patience, and how he loved Kate for who she was including all her flaws.

I would recommend reading the other books in this series before this one.

Read this book if you enjoy:
* it’s always been you
* he falls first
* her ex’s best friend
* pining
* forced proximity
* past trauma (FMC)

I read the book in KU and listened to the audiobook. The audiobook is 5/5 narration. It is done in duet narration by Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais. Connor Crais voice was just chef’s kiss!

I am looking forward to the next book in this series.
