Nantucket Summer House by Pamela Kelley
This was Book #9 in the Beach Plum Cove Series and it was another dynamite one!
Lauren is up for the opportunity of a life-time, to be the lead producer for a new reality show set in Nantucket. Nantucket Influence
will follow a group of young influencers as they spend the summer at a
gorgeous waterfront home. It is a concept that Lauren has worked on
successfully before and the job is hers—as long as she doesn’t mind that
one of the influencers is Billy—the ex that she caught cheating on her.
Does she really want to spend the summer working with him every day?
This is her first chance to run a show, though, and she can’t pass it
up.
Hudson, runs a Nantucket based production company, with
famous actress and new Nantucket resident, Cami Carmichael. Hudson is
good friends with Billy, but Lauren finds herself drawn to him. But she
knows they shouldn't be more than friends since they are working
together—and since Lauren will be heading back to LA when filming ends.
Meanwhile
Angela is thrilled to see her college friend Lauren and has some
exciting news to share. And Lisa discovers that her nemesis, Violet, who
runs a competing inn is ready to declare herself as the top lobster
quiche maker on the island. But not if Lisa has anything to say about
it—she signs up for the local food festival as well and will let the
people decide who makes the best quiche.
and The Christmas Inn by Pamela Kelley
I decided to stick with her since her books are lighthearted, fun and festive and she did not disappoint!
Riley Sanders didn’t plan on losing her job as a content
marketing manager right before Christmas. When she calls her sister Amy
to vent, she learns that their mother has broken her leg and could
really use some help at the inn. Riley decides to head home to the inn,
nestled along the shores of Cape Cod, in time for the Christmas rush.
She is happy to help and needs something to distract her as mistletoe is
hung and snowflakes begin to fall.
When she gets there, she not
only finds delicious cookies and a crackling fire to lift her spirits,
but also the sense of family she’s been missing all along. There’s
Franny, a woman who has just lost her sister and has four unopened
letters from her that she plans to use to open her up to new experiences
on the Cape. And there’s Aidan, her high school sweetheart, now a
widower, who is staying at the inn with his nine year-old son, Luke.
What begins as a quick stay over the holidays to help her mom turns into
something that means much more—a second chance at romance, a deeper
sense of found family, and all the joy and wonder that comes with
Christmastime on Cape Cod.
What I'm Listening To
My usual playlists which include songs by Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift and other artists and started mixing in some Christmas tunes too
