  About the Author: New York Times/Wall Street Journal/USA Today bestselling author Melanie Moreland, lives a happy and content life in a quiet area of Ontario with her beloved husband of twenty-seven-plus years and their rescue cat, Amber. Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them. While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties, and also enjoys traveling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip. Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling down stairs) and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She's learned happily ever afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story. Melanie is represented by Flavia Viotti at Bookcase Literary Agency.

Elizabeth's Review


My rating: 4 of 5 stars - Would Recommend to a Friend


Review Copy Provided by Author


The Summer of Us is the expanded version of a previously published anthology contribution.

We first meet Linc and Sunny the summer they are 17 and in love. Even at that tender age, their road hasn’t been easy, but it was sweet to watch.
Even sweeter was seeing them reconnect 10 years later. One of my favorite things about this story was that the conflict was never really between Sunny and Linc, but centered on the emotional battles that Linc faces while dealing with internal demons.

As with any Melanie Moreland book, this is well written and enjoyable. Linc seems to fit the mold of slightly alpha/wounded hero who finds his emotional center with Sunny.
The secondary cast is fairly small, but I am curious to come back to Mission Cove and see what happens next.
