Sean looked out over the lake, squinting against the sunlight. He turned to me, his expression sobering as his eyes flicked over my face in a silent study.
"Come on Amy, I saved you once, I’ll save you again."
I met his stare unflinchingly. "I don’t need saving."
A wicked grin formed slowly. "Don’t you?"

After a rebellious summer night that almost claimed her life, Amy Henderson – the Onslow publican’s only daughter – is sent away to suffer a fate far worse than any other punishment: Boarding School.
Three years on, a now nineteen-year-old Amy returns to Onslow for the summer. What once was a cauldron of activity with live bands, hot meals and cold beers, the Onslow Hotel now lies dark, deserted and depressing. All fond childhood memories of loitering on the hotel stairs and eavesdropping on customers’ colourful conversations are in the distant past.
How had her dad let it come to this?
With the new threat of putting the Onslow up for sale, Amy reluctantly turns to a local tradesman for help: Sean Murphy, the very same Onslow boy who saved her life all those years ago. With his help and that of some old friends, the task is clear: spend the summer building the hotel back up to its former glory or lose it for good.
In an endless summer, Amy soon realises that sometimes in order to save your future, you have to face your past, even if it’s in the form of a smug, gorgeous Onslow boy.
Book 1
To Tess, summer is when
everything happens: riding bikes down to the lake, watching the
fireworks at the Onslow Show and water bomb fights at the sweltering
Sunday markets.How did she let her friends talk her into working?
After first-shift disasters, rude, wealthy tourists and a taunting ex-boyfriend, Tess is convinced nothing good can come of working her summer away. However, Tess finds unlikely allies in a group of locals dubbed ‘The Onslow Boys’, who are old enough to drive cars, drink beer and not worry about curfews. Tess’s summer of working expands her world with a series of first times with new friends, forbidden love and heartbreaking chaos.
All with the one boy she has never been able to forget.
It will be a summer she will always remember.

Dragute copertile. Am mai auzit de seria asta si chiar mi se pare interesanta.
Interesantă seria. Poate o încerc la vară... și vai ce dor mi s-a făcut de vară!
Doar tie?! Si mie mi-e dor de vara inca de cand s-a terminat :))
Asta chiar este o carte buna de citit vara la plaja ♥
N-am mai auzit de serie sau poate am auzit si am uitat, sunt atatea serii cu si despre vara:)))). Pentru orice eventualitate o sa tin minte.
este o poveste sperba si ma bucur ca n-ai prezentat-o..
Nu mi se par cine stie ce copertile, dar cartile par dragute :D Le-am adaugat deja pe goodreads, si sper sa le citesc mai la vara :D
Mi-aduc aminte de serie sau mai bine zis de coperta primei carti. Nu sunt foarte deosebite,dar tot ce are loc vara este bine-venit,mai ales cand este o poveste de dragoste. :)
Cu asemenea coperta, daca as vedea-o pe vreun raft, sigur as fugi cu ea acasa ca sa o citesc <3.
Foarte draguta coperta.Mi-ar placea sa apara si la noi aceasta serie.
ceea ce e mult mai interesant este faptul ca sunt doua coperte destul de delicioase ale seriei si in mod cert as cauta sa le achizitionez candva sau ..adica oricum vreau sau mai bine zis sper sa apara si in ro
lasa ca mai e putin si se intoarce ea vara. de nu citesc o carte pe zi in vacanta sa nu imi ziceti mie Bianca
Eu si acum mai termin cate o carte pe zi, dar asta depinde de carte. Daca-mi place, o termin intr-o dimineata inainte de scoala. :)) Nici nu mai conteaza restul temelor
e bine eu cand ma vad singura stau numai la laptop
Coperta spune totul. Transmite in mare parte mesajul cartii dar descrierea il contureaza mult mai bine. As vrea sa am ocazia sa citesc aceasta carte minunata.
o noua carte pentru vara, se anunata o vara plina de cartii
