to never come back. She promised to hold him to his word.
After years of living the life his oppressive parents wanted for him, Cameron
Blake is ready to pursue his dreams of being a reclusive artist. Pleasing the
faithful baseball fans of the New York Emperors has been rewarding, but now all
he wants is peace and quiet. That and an irreversible vasectomy. Because
there’s no way he’s passing on the heavy burden of the Blake genes to an
innocent child. But Cameron never gets what he wants. Ever.
The last thing Adrianna Arenas needs is for her ex to slide back into her life.
Not when she can throw a nine-year-old curve ball that will change his game.
Not when his father could tear her world apart with a simple phone call.
Especially not when, despite everything that stands between them, her insides
go wild when Cameron walks into a room. But Adri never gets to keep things the
way she needs them. Ever.
After ten years, fate brings Cameron face-to-face with Adrianna, the woman he
never forgot, and the little girl that ties them forever.
It all goes back to the secrets, jealousy, and heartache that destroyed the
magical summer when they loved each other madly, broke each other’s hearts, and
changed each other’s lives.

My Review:
love a good second chance romance story. So when I saw the sign up for ‘The
Summer I Loved You’ it immediately sparked my interest. I read the book description
and I just knew I wanted to read this book. So obviously I was super excited
when I got an email approving me to read an ARC.
Summer I Loved You’ we meet Cameron Blake and Adrianna Arenas. Cameron and
Adrianna where madly in love with each other almost ten years ago. But a fight,
made worse by their stubbornness and Cam’s oppressive parents made them lose contact.
But they never truly forgot one another. Especially not Adrianna who has a nine
year old daughter who has a resemblance to Cam and his brother and sister. So
when Cameron and Adrianna meet almost ten years later they are surprised to
find there’s still a lot of chemistry and passion between them.
I Loved You’ was from the very beginning a book I really enjoyed. It starts
with a little throwback to ten years ago, the last summer Cameron and Adrianna
spend together. Although you don’t know the complete story then, you can easily
feel the love and chemistry between both characters and it made me want to keep
on reading.
characters Cameron and Adrianna are fun to get to know. They are both very
passionate people and this makes for some intense moments. They both have
strong characters that clash at times, and they are so crazy for one another
that they make it harder for themselves than seems necessary. What I definitely
loved about this book is the way it’s so clear that these two are meant to be
together. The only real question was if they where able to forget the past and fight
the people who wanted to do them harm.
my first J.L. Lora novel and I must say I really loved her writing. From the
very beginning I was hooked to the pages, and I just wanted to know how the
story would go. There is lots of romance, and some very sexy scenes but there
is also suspense and some nail-biting moments. There’s definitely enough going
on in this book.
myself a little bit disappointed about the ending. It all went so fast and I
still felt like there were some lose ends. But since this book is the first in
a series, I hope to get more answers in the next books. And boy do I hope the
next book is about Cam’s brother or sister. It definitely felt like they had a
story to tell as well.
