********************Update*********************
I listened to the audiobook of this one. I just love these two narrators! Stephanie Rose and Stephen Dexter! They pulled me in completely and transported me to Aspen Lake and all of the adventures that Brooke and Logan experience. The emotion and joy within the book shown through perfectly! Another favorite audiobook and book!
***********************************************
Y'all, I was crying! CRYING!!! It wasn't throughout the whole book but there were just parts, especially in the last scenes, that just hit me hard! Good crying. And feeling all the emotions crying!
Brooke is spending the summer in Aspen Lake due to a request from her mom in the form of a bucket list! Roxanne, Brooke's mom, has recently passed away and has a plan for her daughter. I loved it all! We don't get to meet Roxanne as a living character but she breathed so much life into this story through the love she had for her daughter, and her love and zest for life. Brooke reflected a lot of who her mom was and was just this delightful breathe of fresh air and joy! I couldn't help but smile so big over Brooke's personality. Just as I noticed the joy of her character, the other characters in the book did as well. She just had a way of breezing into everyone's lives and leaving them happier and seeing life in a different way. You're going to adore her!!!
Logan, aka, Dr. Summers, is broody and holding onto the memory of his dead wife and their relationship. He's trying to live life, but sorrow and memories can have a funny hold on us sometimes. And cue Brooke to enter his life! He'll never know what hit him and his life will never be the same. The question is, will he embrace the goodness of Brooke, or stay in his brooding sorrow?
You might think you will know how it is all going to end, but let me tell you, there are twists and turns and surprises throughout the book. You're going to find yourself creating your own bucket list, or lists, and wanting to cross everything off!!!
Oh my heart! I had such a busy schedule that I it took me a while to sit and read this one but I want to go and immerse myself in the story again. I'm still thinking about all of it. The characters, the setting (I want to go live by a lake for the summer), the sorrow, the healing, finding friends and love. All of it!!!
Brooke and Logan had me laughing and giggling and swooning throughout the whole story. They are perfect for each other, if only Logan can see that. Their first meeting was hysterical! If I had been drinking something while reading that, I probably would have spit it out laughing so hard. I loved how Brooke kept Logan on his toes. He never knew what she was going to do. And that was a big part of her charm. She is so sincere and honest and loving and forgiving.
I loved all of the music aspects that were in the book. And Brooke's podcast just felt so whimsical and healing. Honestly, her mom Roxanne was the heart of this story!
I hope you love it as much as I did if you read the book! And remember, you might want some tissues on hand when you do! Fair warning!!!
Content: Pg-13 rating. There is nothing more than kissing in the book, some making out between the two main characters. Talk of divorce, death of a spouse and of parents. Some talk of a child born out of wedlock but nothing in depth. Some mild swear words scattered throughout the book.
I received a copy from the author. All thoughts and opinions in the review are my own.
Happy Reading!!!

Ahh!! This book is absolutely adorable! I didn’t want to put it down!!
Brooke’s mom left her a Summer Bucket List to complete in Aspen Lake before sue passed away and Brooke is determined to complete everything on that list! Putting first things first, she crashes on her bike and winds up in the ER being treated by the hottest doctor she has ever seen. Dr. Logan Summers! Can he move past the death of his first wife to help Brooke complete her list?
These two were so dang cute! I loved the instant chemistry Brooke and Logan had! Their meet cute was adorable and Brooke’s rambling getting away from her was so cute and funny! I loved her random questions, her friendly demeanor, and her zest for life! I also loved Logan and that despite his slightly brooding exterior, he was so sweet to Brooke and protective of her.
Such a cute, fun summer read!!
Favorite quotes:
“I wasn’t a fling kind of girl, but Mom said they were magical, and every woman needed one.”
“Never try to compete against perfection, because even though it doesn’t exist, you’ll still lose.”
“Whole hearts give nothing away, but hurt hearts know what it feels like to give it all. Better to know what it feels like to have everything stolen than to have nothing worth stealing.”
“Something about his masculine hand was comforting and inviting. Like if he ever offered it to me, I would feel at home.”
“Nothing compares to the magic of your first kiss with the someone you can’t stop thinking about.”
“This wasn’t a goodbye forever kiss. This was a stay for the rest of my life kind of kiss, and I was so there for it.”

I hope to never know the hurt of losing a spouse, but I felt like this book encapsulated what my feelings might be on grieving my wife, especially in the context of maybe moving on.
I loved Brooke, the FMC, and I enjoyed this story tremendously. If you take all the songs name-dropped in this book, it would be a heckuva playlist.

It may not be officially summer, but I'm counting this as my first summer read!! After losing her mom, Brooke goes to Aspen Lake to fulfill the bucket list her mom left behind, filled with sweet (and sometimes slightly embarrassing) things she wanted Brooke to experience—like “Have a summer fling.” Not exactly Brooke’s comfort zone, but she’s determined to honor her mom’s final wish.
While trying to complete items on the bucket list, Brooke ends up in the ER with minor injuries. Enter Dr. Logan Summers, the broody, ridiculously handsome next-door neighbor with a guarded heart and some baggage. Their first meeting is hilariously awkward, and their relationship gets off to a rocky start, but as the summer unfolds, so does their friendship—you can’t help but root for them.
There's so much to love about this book:
🩺 The hilarious meet-cute
🩺 Brooke and Logan's chemistry
🩺 Watching their friendship turn into something more.
🩺 Forced proximity thanks to the bucket list
🩺 Swoony kisses
🩺 Dual POV
🩺 The epilogue
I loved how completing the summer bucket list provided the perfect opportunity for Brooke and Logan's relationship to develop. What I loved just as much as the romance was Brooke’s journey to finding her place with the people she meets.
This book is full of charm, heart, and swoon. If you’re in the mood for a feel-good romance with a slow-burn love story, lovable side characters, and a mix of funny and tender moments, definitely give Paging Dr. Summers a read. It might start as a fling, but this one sticks with you.
Content: mild swears, kisses only

I like a widower trope. This one was good. I just he obsessed over his perfect wife for 2/3rds of the book and it make its hard to not feel like the h is second best. I understand he had a first love and that you can’t expect him not to hold her in his heart but he glorified her for so much of the book sometimes the h deserves better. I believe in the end he did realise he loved her and I bet he’ll grow to love her more than Erika I just wish it wasn’t 2/3rds of how wonderful Erika was

(6/19/25) I just read this book and it was a scrumptious treat to listen to Stephanie Rose and Stephen Dexter bring this story to life. I loved it every single bit as much as I did the first time.
Brooke’s sunshine attitude towards life and her summer bucket list written by her mother are pure joy. I loved checking things off, just as she did, and the way she babbles brings a smile to my face.
Logan has every reason to be a grump and to resist Brooke’s irresistible glow, yet even his storm clouds can’t remain untouched by her radiance. I loved how he fights so hard to withstand her charms.
This is a summer must-read…or listen. So swoony, so much fun, and such a beautiful buzz.
(6/9/25) ‘“I’m sorry, I keep rambling. Attractive men make me nervous, and I also hate hospitals.” Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Did I really just tell him I find him attractive?’
Jennifer Peel knocked it out of the park with this beautiful summer story. Logan and Brooke are messy perfection in all their individual glory, and I couldn’t get enough.
Logan, an ER doctor, is recovering from the death of his wife and Brooke is new in town, looking to fulfill the summer bucket list her deceased single mom gave her. Their meet-cute had me laughing and every interaction between these two gave me feelings of hope, longing, and all the swoon. They each have issues to resolve, growth to develop, and answers to find, and the way they do it together, meshing these opposite backgrounds, is sublime.
I love the way this author writes, as she brings in emotion with the humor; touches on pain with all the promises; breathes life and attitude into all the characters; and delivers a glorious escape. Who knew that the line “Paging Dr Summers” would change Brooke’s life and mine?
🍓classic rock songs
☀️grumpy/sunshine
🍓podcaster and ER doctor
☀️found family
🍓small town lake location
☀️summer fling gone wrong (or right)
From the first bucket list item to the bonus last, I was captivated by this story.
Content: mild+ romance; mild+ language; talk of off-page death of parent and spouse

The Brief: Brooke heads to Aspen Lake to fulfill the bucket list her mother left behind. She ends up in the ER mouth vomiting over the totally handsome Dr. Summers.
The Debrief: Ohmyswoonylanta! Besides the fact that we get to head back to Aspen Lake and peek at beloved characters, this story is the perfect summer evening with a warm fire and chocolate. Logan is mourning his wife and wants nothing to do with any of Brooke’s sunshine and definitely be far away from her bucket list. But Brooke is determined to be his friend and she’s the most endearing person who brings the happy everywhere she goes. I loved her! Such great banter from this amazing author!
So the music references totally hit my heart. My dad loved listening to music and when I was very young I would lay on the floor with my feet on the fireplace step listening to records. And a gorgeous crooner? Remember my Harry Connick Jr. crush? Every word was the perfect start to my summer reading and I can’t even with the excitement of an audio. Brooke was everything good and light and her desire to truly understand and embrace a different happy was so sweet. And I sort of relate to her over sharing. Ask well… anyone.
The entire ending and epilogue was just so dreamy. I’m high key gushing, but was able to pretty much read this in one sitting and it just hit all the feels.
-pineapple story
-her music podcast
-their hilarious meet cute
-small town lake living
-so many life heart quotables
-camping and singing
-strong friendships
-twisty heart tugging surprises
-Logan’s bucket list
-visiting him at the hospital
The Rhyme: Brooke thinks Logan is perfect for a summer fling. When real feelings start will his heart try to once again sing?
Loved going back to Aspen Lake and want to return again! Complimentary copy. My own obsessive thoughts. Add this to your summer reading list! Kissing only. Very mild swearing.

I absolutely loved @jen’s newest release—it’s the perfect summer read! ☀️📚 From the adorable meet-cute to the multiple bucket list, this book had me hooked from the start.
I really enjoyed watching Logan’s character growth and loved the friendships Brook shared with Logan, Eden, and Lola. The bucket list moments were so fun to follow, and I loved seeing Brook check off each one.
I also appreciated that the story took place over several months—it gave the romance and character development time to really unfold. I devoured this book in less than a day, and I already want to reread it! 💛

"How I ever thought she was a hot mess..."
"How I ever thought she was a hot mess, I’ll never know. I’d come to realize that her brand of crazy was just passion."
Not a fan of the mild cursing, and steamy kissing. Aside from those aspects this story was filled with laugh out loud moments, tender interactions, heartbreaking realizations, and feel good fun.
"“I’ve always found it helps to share your pain. It doesn’t seem as scary then. Hurt out loud. Scream if you have to.” She laughed that melodious laugh of hers. “Just let it out so it doesn’t keep you comfortably numb. Because as pacifying as it may be, remember you’re only numbing the pain, and no anesthetic lasts forever. The pain will still be waiting for you. It’s best to meet it on your terms.It takes a special woman to want to fix what she didn’t break."

Absolutely adorable! I love books that blend romance, humor, and poignancy, and this one does it so well. It was funny, swoony, and full of so much heart and emotion.
When Brooke’s mom passed away, she gifted Brooke with an unexpected inheritance and a summer in Aspen Lake. Her mom also gave her a bucket list to complete while she was there, including having a summer fling.
Determined not to let her mom down, Brooke is ready to complete each item. She has an embarrassing not-so-meet-cute with Dr. Logan Summers—her handsome new neighbor. She wouldn’t mind having a summer romance with Logan, but he lost his wife a year earlier and has a guarded heart and no desire for any kind of romance.
After a rocky start, their relationship grows into a lovey friendship filled with laughter, adventure, and some undeniable sparks. As their connection grows, Logan struggles with the guilt he feels because of his strong attraction to Brooke, but his loyalty to his wife. Brooke is falling hard for him, but doesn’t want to live in the shadow of his seemingly perfect wife.
Their time together turns into a magical summer of love and healing, but can it be something more permanent and lasting?
I loved these two characters! Brooke is wonderfully fun and quirky, and I loved her kindness, wisdom, and adventurous spirit. Logan was a sweetheart. His hurt was tangible and you could understand why he was so guarded. It was the sweetest thing to watch his heart heal and be able to move on.
One of my favorite things about this book is the musical references. I love 70s classic rock, and this story is full of references and background stories about some great songs and bands.
If you’re looking for an engaging and fun summer read, I highly recommend this gem!

════════════════════════════
I realized it wasn’t about belonging to a place. That wasn’t why my mom had sent me there. She’d sent me because I belonged to these people. They just all happened to be in Aspen Lake. They were the magic. They were my family. —Brooke
════════════════════════════
Cold x Sunshine | Found Family | Age Gap
Starting this because the cover and synopsis seemed fun and light, and that’s exactly what I needed at the moment. But instead, it gave me mixed feelings. I didn’t realize this book would also focus so much on grief, not just about the FMC’s mother like I first thought, but also about the MMC’s late wife. It’s not heavy or overly sad, but it takes up a big part of the story and Logan’s mind, and that’s honestly what ruined the book for me.
The story follows Brooke, who has a summer bucket list her mom gave her before her mother passed away. She promises to complete every item and spends her summer in Aspen Lake, there, she meets Logan and her newfound family.
🍒 What I don’t like:
1. There are so many mentions of Logan’s late wife. He’s still grieving, even though she passed away year ago and he’s clearly not emotionally ready for a new relationship.
I’m okay with this kind of backstory, but the constant reminders and how deeply he’s still in love with her felt overwhelming. It’s like she’s haunting him and interfering with everything, especially since he’s not even trying to make room for someone new.
I hate it even more because he keeps comparing Brooke to his late wife bacause they’re complete opposites. If I were in that position, I’d want my future husband to love me 100%, not feel like I’m sharing his heart with someone else, even if she’s gone. I don’t want to be a replacement. I want to be loved for who I am. Of course, I understand she’ll always be part of him, and I’m okay with that, but in a respectful way, not one that interferes with the present.
2. Logan is honestly a coward. He just wants to stay comfortable and avoid change. He doesn’t want to process or understand his own feelings. He’s also way too concerned about how his late wife’s family and friends would see him if he pursued a younger woman. It’s such a stupid reason.
3. There are a lot of repetitive moments. Like, I get what the characters are feeling, but the author keeps reminding us over and over again.
4. Brooke brings up her mom a lot. I understand her mom had a huge influence on her and the story, but it takes up a bit too much space.
5. It feels kind of forced that Brooke doesn’t realize Mr. Harrington is her biological father, it’s so obvious. The plot feels weak here.
6. Brooke… I don’t know. Sometimes she’s a badass MC, but the way she becomes so hopeless about Logan feels kind of pathetic. She’s the one begging for love, and I hate that. Also, she’s too kind and considerate when it comes to Logan and his late wife. It honestly made me uncomfortable.
There are also moments where she puts herself down, feeling like she doesn’t belong in Aspen Lake because it’s for rich people, thinking her father doesn’t want her because she’s not worthy, etc. It’s frustrating, especially since she’s actually strong, smart, unique, and easily loved by others, but she just can’t see it.
🍒 What I like:
1. Lola. I love how she instantly clicks with Brooke when they first meet, even before knowing the big secret. And her reaction to that secret? One of the best parts of the book.
2. Supporting characters, especially Lola & Eden. No annoying characters here, everyone is actually lovable.
After finishing this book, I’m still not sure if I liked it or not. There were so many parts that made me feel uncomfortable, but at the same time, there weren’t really any awful characters or moments, so I guess that’s a plus.
Most of my discomfort comes from the way grief is handled in Logan’s storyline and how Brooke just accepts it. It honestly made me a bit disappointed that I chose this book over so many others on my TBR. It didn’t feel worth my time.
But yeah, it’s still an okay read. I do love the found family element. The side characters really make the story feel warm and sweet. I especially love how welcoming and kind Lola and her mom are toward Brooke, they’re genuinely some of the best people in the book. And the bonus chapter? Perfect ending for me. I’m always a sucker for a happily ever after.
Overall, it’s an okay read. It made me feel uncomfortable and unsettled many times, but it still gave me a good feeling at the end. Just give it a try if you’re okay with an MMC who’s still deeply in love with his late wife and even feels guilty for loving the FMC until about 70% into the book :)
Note: This is a clean romance, no smut at all, just some kissing. It’s been ages since I’ve read something like this lol 😭

I realized it wasn’t about belonging to a place. That wasn’t why my mom had sent me there. She’d sent me because I belonged to these people. They just all happened to be in Aspen Lake. They were the magic. They were my family. —Brooke

Cold x Sunshine | Found Family | Age Gap
Starting this because the cover and synopsis seemed fun and light, and that’s exactly what I needed at the moment. But instead, it gave me mixed feelings. I didn’t realize this book would also focus so much on grief, not just about the FMC’s mother like I first thought, but also about the MMC’s late wife. It’s not heavy or overly sad, but it takes up a big part of the story and Logan’s mind, and that’s honestly what ruined the book for me.
The story follows Brooke, who has a summer bucket list her mom gave her before her mother passed away. She promises to complete every item and spends her summer in Aspen Lake, there, she meets Logan and her newfound family.
🍒 What I don’t like:
1. There are so many mentions of Logan’s late wife. He’s still grieving, even though she passed away year ago and he’s clearly not emotionally ready for a new relationship.
I’m okay with this kind of backstory, but the constant reminders and how deeply he’s still in love with her felt overwhelming. It’s like she’s haunting him and interfering with everything, especially since he’s not even trying to make room for someone new.
I hate it even more because he keeps comparing Brooke to his late wife bacause they’re complete opposites. If I were in that position, I’d want my future husband to love me 100%, not feel like I’m sharing his heart with someone else, even if she’s gone. I don’t want to be a replacement. I want to be loved for who I am. Of course, I understand she’ll always be part of him, and I’m okay with that, but in a respectful way, not one that interferes with the present.

Ugh.
Honestly, it was so promising between chapters 1 through 18 but how quickly it fell off the charts breaks records. I've come to the conclusion, this now being the second Jennifer Peel book I've listened to, that she is not the author for me.
There won't be a lot of spoilers here, pretty much just one that brought me original 2 star rating to a 1 start (simply because I can't rate a 0) that I HAVE to vent about and a few others that were just annoying.
At first, I was really into the book. There was great hope for potential, a natural friendship into lovers bond, open and true honesty and communication. It was great. I understood their struggles, woes, and conflicts. All perfectly reasonable as the book opened up.
However, after chapter 18, did it become a complete mess in my opinion.
Overly dramatic, lack of communication (which I understand that too much communication can reveal too much, however, I've written reviews on a few books that had AMAZING story lines with open communication that didn't ruin a thing), jumping to conclusions, self-pity, self-victimizing, SO MUCH REPEATING OF THE SAME THING, SAME CONFLICT, SAME STRUGGLE, like WE GET IT.
It was just too much. ESPECIALLY for main characters in their early 30s to late 30s/early 40s since there is a 9-10 year age gap between Brooke and Logan. Their kind of behavior would be more acceptable and understandable if they were between the ages of 17-22 MAYBE 25 at the oldest but to have them in the age range they are in now and acting like fools - just no.
Not to mention the big 'reveal' about her dad (which was completely obvious from the moment she met Lola), all this 'spiritual and divine' connection she felt in her soul to Lola, blah, blah, blah. I couldn't take it. Then the reaction to the news and how they handled, so stupid. Just... stupid.
Unfortunately, most of the dislike comes from Brooke's POV and personality but the biggest thing that happened that knocked the book down is Logan - he did ONE thing I just couldn't and won't ever accept!!
The entire book has him whining about how much grief/guilt he has over his deceased wife and how much moving on from her hurts and he goes through the whole journey of emotions as he slowly falls for Brooke - okay, cool, I understand especially since she died right after they had a big fight and he has to carry that weight with him.
However, once all is said and done Brooke wants to be all involved in Logan's life and honoring Erica, making sure to keep her memory alive, etc. So Brooke surprises Logan with a cake to celebrate Erica's BIRTHDAY.
The AUDACITY that Logan's first "I love you" to Brooke is on his dead wife's birthday!! To me that is a big NO CAN DO. I would be rolling over in my grave if the memory of MY day was now taken up by the first I love you to another woman. SURE call me selfish about it, call me petty, call me what ever you want but that is uncalled for, flaw, and completely ruins the birthday/memory for it now to be shared with such a BIG MOMENT and even as Brooke, I would have been saddened that every day you think of the first I love you, it's on the dead wife's birthday. It just has a nasty cloud to it, it dampens the moment for me. NO THANK YOU.
Anyway, that's the rant I need to express. You can choose to go down this head banging road, just wanting the book to end, if you choose. I would not recommend.

Paging Dr. Summers
TL;DR Perfect summer read, fans of One Happy Summer by: Monson will love this one!
📖 Brooke's mom was wild and larger than life. Before she died, she gave Brooke a bucket list of experiences. Honoring her wishes, she travels to Aspen Lake.

I thought
This was a meet-awkward! I was second hand embarrassed for her!
The list sounded fun! I made triple Chocolate Cookies too!
Both Brooke and Logan are grieving (reminded me of the book Compared by: Keisel). I appreciated the message of how to keep living while carrying grief.
I loved ♥️
Brooke forms special bonds with many people. The found family was done so well.
Brooke's mom is her inner voice throughout the story. I loved her character.
Talk about opposites attract! Logan Summers and Brooke could not be more different and it totally works.
This is my favorite Jennifer Peel book yet!
TW: death of spouse (recounted) death of mother (recounted) death of father, divorce
CW: occasional use of mild language, kisses only

I adored this rom-com!!
This author is one of my favorites, but this book was not what I was expecting. I love how she can still do that! The whole premise of the book had me thinking the plot would go in a certain direction, and while some of it did, I was blown away by the intricate character development and depth to this story.
First of all, Brooke is flippin’ awesome. She’s a rockstar of a protagonist and definitely someone I would want to be friends with. I loved her spunk, quirky questions, and positive outlook on life. Dr Summers, aka Logan, was dreamy, yet there was much more to him than I originally assumed. These two together were like fireworks on Independence Day, and I loved the romantic comedy as well.
Overall, another fantastic book that will give you fun and interesting characters, hilarious comedy, a deeper delve into difficult human emotions, and a sweet and swoony romance that will definitely leave your toes curling at the end (and the beginning, and the middle… okay, so it might be throughout the entire book!).

First of all, I cannot pretend to know the pain of losing a spouse and the process of grieving and moving on… That being said, both MCs’ treatment of the deceased spouse throughout the first ~75% bothered me. Logan worked through his issues well I think throughout the story. Brooke got to a better place, but not sure we saw that growth happen as much as just arriving in it.
The tension was actually much deeper than I expected it to be (although the “plot twist” was obvious from the beginning), and I appreciated it!
The CW reference/comparison was funny the first time, but then felt way overused and cringey.
I started this book in the middle of the night while caring for a sick kid and I needed something lighter 😅 It did the trick, and I would read more Jennifer Peel I think.

Awesome!
I have enjoyed all of the Aspen Lake books so much! Brooke (heroine) was so sweet, good hearted, funny, talented and also emotionally intelligent. She is grieving the death of her mother, completing the bucket list her mother gave for her to do and making the whole town of Aspen Lake fall in love with her....especially a certain doctor. Logan (hero) is a serious minded ER doctor who is grieving his wife and struggling with shame and guilt. He and Brooke had many emotional hurdles to surmount, and many challenges to overcome....it was so heartwarming to see them finally come together. A beautiful heartwarming read that I recommend ❤️

Super cute and clean book. Typical summer at the lake house and falling in love with your neighbor. Predictable yet a fun read.

This book was so cute! A fun summer fling filled with laughter, and embarassment. And even an epic meet-cute (excuse me) meet-trauma, depending on if you view it from Logan's or Brooke's point of view. Brooke finds all kinds of fun and new experiences by fulfilling her mom's dying wish: that she complete a bucket list her mom made her using a surprise fund that the dad she never knew left her. Brooke is a lovable character who makes friends easily everywhere she goes. Her personality is bubbly, happy, easy-going, and in search of making great friendships with those around her. She's musical, talented, and allows her passions to guide her in life. I really enjoyed her character. This book was a perfect summer read, easy to pick up & set down as I ran from place to place on my own summer vacation!

This book brought out all the emotions it was so good. Brooke comes to Aspen Lake to check off the items on a bucket list that her mother gave to her before she passed away. Logan is grieving his wife, whom he lost two years ago. When he meets Brooke, he tries really hard not to have anything to do with her.
This book had me laughing out loud and near tears. What a tender story and a romantic read.

(4.5 stars) - reminiscent of Pine Falls
I don't watch TV, but if Jennifer Peel was the writer for a soap opera, I would totally have my face plastered to the screen for each new episode, lol
This is angsty in a good way, & even though I could see where it was going, I totally enjoyed the ride!

The story is cheesy, repetitive, and predictable. There’s a big reveal that finally happens about halfway through the book but it’s completely obvious from the beginning. This is definitely not my favourite. The concept of the story is interesting but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.
