Whether you plan on staying home this summer or traveling somewhere foreign and exotic, these trending books have a little something for everyone! While I am not going to be doing anything exotic this summer except moving across the country with four kids (one of which will be a newborn), two dogs, two cats, and three horses. Some may say crazy, but I like to call it exotic because that sounds more fun and vacation-like. So, I need all the summer reads to help me escape my upcoming reality.
- On a Flight To Sydney by J.A. Forde
- In book one of the Love Along the Way Series, we follow Joss and Wes as their worlds collide! In this “just friends” to lovers story, we will see how much baggage two people are willing to overcome to find love! Set in beautiful Sydney you'll experience the beaches with sand and surfing! I have mentioned this book before because it is so perfect for a summer escape! Also, be on the lookout for book 2, On The Slopes of Tahoe, which will debuted on February 28, 2025! Also, J.A.

- In part two of this steamy duet, we find Millie and Ezra forced into a fake marriage to appease his difficult father! Throw in some major chemistry, one hotel room, and a trip to Hawaii and dare I say we have the perfect summer sizzler. This book is sure to give you the perfect escape from whatever you have going on this summer. Also, make sure to check out For the Plot (All For Love Book 1), which is another great escape because it is set on a Greek Island!

Cape Cod and boats rescues...if this doesn't create the perfect summer read, then I don't know what will!?!
