READ AND REVIEW
SUMMER AT OYSTER BAY BY JENNY HALE
Release Date: June 9, 2016
SYNOPSIS
Summer at Oyster Bay is the perfect, feel-good summer romance, about the importance of home and family, learning what love is, and living for the moment.
They say falling in love is easy. But what if you know it’ll break your heart?
For Emily Tate, returning to her charming childhood home Oyster Bay is like coming up for air after the fast pace of her city life. At the farm her grandfather built, surrounded by sister Rachel’s chatter, Gram’s buttermilk biscuits, and the soft, white sand, Emily is reminded of exactly who she is and what she holds most dear.
When Emily starts work at elegant Water’s Edge Inn, Charles Peterson, the handsome new owner, asks for her help. He wants to expand and needs Emily to teach him the local ways, so he can convince the planning commission. Emily vows to make him fall in love with her hometown, just the way it is.
At work, Charles is reserved and serious, yet once Emily has him kicking off his shoes in the sand and sailing across the glistening Chesapeake Bay, she sees another side to him, and their easy rapport feels like the start of something big.
But when it becomes clear Charles’s plans for the inn involve bulldozing Oyster Bay, Emily is heartbroken. Will she lose her home and Charles all at once, or can she save Oyster Bay, and give true love a chance?

ARC Review: Summer at Oyster Bay by Jenny Hale
Stories like Summer at Oyster Bay are sentimental because they touch something inside of the reader and that is what gets the emotions flowing. Ms. Hale wrote a read that is full of heart and as thoughtful as it is romantic. Emily left home because she needed a change, she returned home for the same reason. The serenity, family bonds and familiarity gave her a sense of home and belonging that she had been missing for a while. But her peace of mind is short lived when she meets the one person who can upset the balance of all she holds dear. Life's legacy is to learn from all the experiences we have and that is what I took away from Jenny Hale's story. Beauty,nostalgia and maturity are power themes in this pleasant read.
