BLURB
The love of a lifetime—two weeks at a time.
Reliving the same summer romance at an annual timeshare turns first love into first hate.
Evie Turner and Adam Pierce start off with the perfect summer romance, but when they reunite five years later, he acts like she is wet sand on the bottom of his expensive shoes. Hurt and embarrassed, Evie dedicates her two weeks at the timeshare each year to making him regret his decision. Throughout their young adult years, she tortures him—in a bikini.
After his words sting like jellyfish, she wants him on his knees, begging for forgiveness. Begging for her.
The girl in love with love. The boy who watches mob movies to remind himself that trust means betrayal. A clock of two weeks ticks away until they spend another three hundred and fifty-one days trying to forget each other. Until next year.
As the passion between them rises with the summer temperature, Evie can’t help but feel his embraces are like a sunset: beautiful and temporary.
Above all, Evie must not forget one very important lesson: If he is hot, he can burn you.
Better get the aloe.
*Though this book begins in young adulthood, it transitions with summer time-jumps until the characters are new adults in college. As a new adult romance novel, the story contains mature situations and sexual scenes.

ARC REVIEW
Adam and Evie meet at the age of ten when their parents share timeshares the same two weeks every single year. They develop a friendship and a crush. After that summer they are 15/16 and they quickly become more of enemies and each year they continue to spend the two week together and there are moments were the friendship the formed as ten year olds comes through, but also plenty of coldness when it comes to Adam.
I loved getting to see the two weeks the spend together and seeing the complete progression of their relationship from kids all the way into college. Despite the coldness that comes from Adam at times I love when the softer and sweeter side comes through. There is a lot more to his character. I loved Evie, too. I love that she was caring and never gave up on Adam.
Once they get to college things really take a turn with their relationship and the story really took off at that point for me. I love the attraction, the chemistry, the friendship, the sweet moments….all of it. There are a lot of ups and downs when it comes to Adam and Evie but all of them were worth it.
If you’re looking for a friends to enemies to friends to lovers romance this is one to check out.
