The Summer Plans
Not yet published
Expected 21 May 26Sometimes love deserves a second chance.
Summer
All I wanted was a quiet summer. When my best friend offers me a free stay at her beach house in exchange for helping her sell it, it feels like the reset my three kids and I desperately need.
What I don’t need? Her brother showing up.
RJ was my first kiss. My almost-forever. The one man I never quite recovered from. Now he’s back, looking just as devastating as he did the day he broke my heart. I came here for peace—not for unfinished business.
RJ
As the oldest rookie at the Chestnut Mountain Fire Department and a single dad, I’m focused on proving myself and building something steady for my daughter.
Then I walk into that beach house and find Summer. Fate might have separated us once, but it just handed me another chance. And this time, I’m not letting her slip away.
She may think this is just a temporary escape—but I have every intention of rewriting The Summer Plans.
A summer holiday rom com about a single mom with 3 kids, a single dad firefighter, an unforgettable vacation, and a second chance to get it right.

Review of an advance copy received from author
This second chance romance is just so sweet and sincere from RJ’s determination to be the dependable man for Summer and her kids. I give him my thumbs up because not only is he fun during vacation time, he also appears so firm in a very healthy way to the point where kids grow respect for him instead of fear.
So, this story follows Summer and RJ, two people who were once high school sweethearts after one silly dare-to-kiss, after braces got stuck together, after followed by one unforgettable week of sneaking off together. But then young love did not survive. RJ broke Summer’s heart and disappeared from the kind of love she thought would last forever.
Years later, Summer is now a single mom of three rebuilding her life and career, while RJ becomes a firefighter and a single dad who never gets over his first love.
Then comes the accidental double booking at Raven’s beach house that honestly doesn’t feel accidental at all. Lol. Thanks to Raven, I guess.
Yes. Forced proximity enters the plot when Summer’s best friend, Raven, offers her a free stay at her beach house for a week… only for Summer to arrive and realize RJ is also staying there.
Now Summer and RJ are stuck spending an entire week together, surrounded by children, old memories, and unresolved feelings.
Summer spends her days trying to fight the hurt she still carries, not only from her high school heartbreak with RJ, but also from her recent divorce. Meanwhile, RJ tries to become the man she deserved years ago… and maybe still deserves now.
———
You don’t want to miss RJ’s sweetness that breaks all the walls in Summer’s heart. You don’t want to miss Summer’s panic that’ll make you say oh yeah, typical Mama’s panic that I can relate.
And the best news is, you can expect a very good laugh from a lot in this book. All the gross stuff Summer’s kids are obsessed with. All the hilarious conversations in Summer’s group chat. Adding more layer to its comedy, theres also some sleepy and drunk admissions that make you shake your head even after you finish reading.
———
“And I want all of it. All of you. The good. The bad. The embarrassing. Every piece that makes you who you are.”
———
“I went years without you, living in the dark without your sunshine to keep me warm. I don’t ever want to go back to that. Not again.”
———
“I wanted to be the only boy you ever kissed. But since we can’t have that, I’ll settle for being the last man you ever kiss.”
———
“You’re both smart kids, I can tell, but even smart kids make mistakes. Let’s learn from this, okay?”
———
“I get that as parents we’re human and have a right to feel frustration with our kids, but if my daughter ever overheard something I said that hurt her feelings, I would take ownership for my words and apologize. That’s what real men do.”

Review of advance copy received from Author
There’s something about second chance romances set in small towns that feels like sinking into a warm lake at sunset, and this book absolutely delivered that feeling.
Summer Sampson and RJ Roth grew up together alongside RJ’s sister, Raven. Back then, Raven dared the two secretly smitten teenagers to kiss, which ended in the world’s most embarrassing braces incident imaginable. Mortifying? Absolutely. But beneath the humiliation was something real, and for one short week they explored that connection before RJ broke Summer’s heart by walking away.
Now years later, both divorced and raising kids, they unexpectedly end up sharing Raven’s beach house for a week while she prepares to sell it. One house, four kids, too few bedrooms, and enough unresolved tension to light the entire coastline on fire.
This story had the perfect balance of humor, heart, and chemistry. Mya More writes children so well, and the boys completely stole every scene they were in. Their chaos and nonstop commentary had me laughing constantly. At the same time, the emotional side of the story felt incredibly genuine. Summer’s anxiety, overthinking, and panic spirals were handled with so much care and realism.
And RJ? Certified book boyfriend material. He’s sweet, protective, patient, and somehow also the filthiest mouthed firefighter alive. The longing, the history between them, the way he never truly stopped loving her… absolute perfection.
This book felt tender, funny, emotional, and deeply comforting all at once. Easily one of my favorites in the Chestnut Mountain series.

Chestnut Mountain Book Three - Summer Sampson, RJ Roth, and his sister Raven were best friends growing up. Raven knew that Summer and RJ were crushing on each other and dared them to kiss and get it out of their system. They locked braces and were humiliated, but they both felt a connection. They secretly spent the next week together only for him to walk away, breaking her heart. Years have passed; they’re both divorced with kids, and RJ has moved back to Chestnut Mountain. Raven has a beach house that she wants to sell and asks Summer to go spend a week there with her kids to check the place out. Little does she know that RJ and his daughter will be there the same week … oh my … four kids, two adults, and not enough bedrooms. Guess who ends up sharing??? Mya More has the uncanny ability to make me laugh so hard, and these little boys are freaking adorable. And RJ … what a swoony book boyfriend he is, be still my heart. As I was racing through this book, I was secretly hoping to get to read Raven’s story, and I am giddy to see it will be coming. Thank you so very, very much to Mya More and Naughty Nook PR for the advance copy.

The Summer Plans absolutely wrecked me in the best way. This third book in the Chestnut Mountain series follows Summer, a single mom of three rebuilding her life and career, who heads to Broccoli Bay to check on her best friend Raven’s summer place. What she does not expect is to end up there with Raven’s younger brother RJ, a single dad and firefighter who never got over their secret high school romance. What started as an embarrassing first kiss and sneaking off together for a week all those years ago has stayed with both of them ever since.
I could not put this book down. When a man can say, “I went years without you, living in the dark without your sunshine to warm me. I don’t ever want to go back to that” but also growl a deep “Mine,” before slapping her pussy, you know it is a 6 star read. RJ is the sweetest, swooniest, most filthy mouthed firefighter, and the pining from him was absolute perfection. Summer’s panic spirals and hilarious group chats had me laughing just as much as the emotional moments had me in my feelings. Mya once again delivered relatable, lovable characters mixed with top tier spice and emotional depth.
Honestly, this book was perfection for me. I cannot recommend this series enough.
Perfect for readers who love second chance romance, single parents, best friend’s brother dynamics, forced proximity, and emotionally intense spice.

I flew through this book, read it in a few hours & couldn’t put it down.
When Raven dared best friend Summer & brother RJ to kiss at a party, she thought it would end her bestie’s crush. But it had the opposite effect. Summer & RJ spent a week together; before teenage RJ broke Summer’s heart. Both appearing to move on with their lives, nothing lived up to that first love. Summer had a really tough time of it, & RJ never felt as fulfilled as he did with Summer.
So when Raven accidentally double books her beach house, Summer & RJ are forced to spend a week together (with their combined four children in tow!). summer spends the week unable to move past the hurt, & RJ spends the week attempting to be the man she deserves & the father figure her children are desperate for.
Is it too little too late; or can they admit to themselves - & each other - how they feel, & can they forgive & move on together?
This forced proximity, one bed romance is full of banter & green flags, & a couple of 💦 in his pants 🤭

Summer and RJ’s romance is so, so sweet! This found family group of single moms that Mya More has created is so fun and beautiful and everything in between.
Second chance romance
Forced proximity
Single mom x single dad
It’s always been you
Best friend’s brother
Summer and RJ had a fling back in high school that lasted a week that abruptly ended, but that didn’t stop both of them from still holding a candle for the other.
Now it’s decades later and they are forced in an accidental (or not so accidental) forced proximity situation – being in the same space for the first time in a long time. This forces them to face their feelings of the past. Will they be able to move past that hurt and loneliness that has followed them all these years?
I loved this book! Summer is such a great mom and so flipping relatable! I loved seeing her get to just be herself at times, instead of just being Summer the mom. I loved RJ and how much he loved Summer and was willing to do anything for another chance.
NOW THAT ENDING!! I am so looking forward to Raven’s book!

This a rather lovely summer read about childhood sweethearts who through miscommunication break up.
Now years later both are divorced and RJ has moved back to be near his sister and becomes a firefighter.
Summer’s best friend Raven also the sister of her childhood sweetheart asks her to visit her beach house to get it ready to sell as Summer is a real estate agent.
When she gets there with her three children chaos ensues when RJ arrives with his daughter.
The incident with the cookies and the resulting group chat with her friends is hilarious.
Feelings start to blossom again and when there is a mishap with the drinks Summers reveals a lot more about herself to RJ. And the conversation about sea creatures is just fitting.
After spending another week after the kids leave, the relationship really ramps up.
When they get home RJ wants her to move in and after Raven finds out about their relationship, RJ has to go to a fire. He is the best book boyfriend saving her books from her house which is on fire.
All is well and a surprise for them too

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 5 Stars
🌶🌶 - Spice Level
RJ and Summer were in a relationship in high school for about a week before he went further out of respect for his sister's friendship with Summer.
Years later Summer and RJ are both divorced and single with kids. RJ's sister double books Summer and RJ at her beach house. Both had been yearning and pining for what could have been. RJ, however, is going to use this time to convince Summer to finally be his, kids and all. This man jumps into the deep end without a parachute. He was ready to show Summer how it could be. I loved all the shenanigans and real life situations shown with his daughter and Summer's 2 rowdy boys and girl. And this had 1 bed trope, nerdy glasses, along with a spicy mirror scene, and he supported her romance reading with toys.. whoo wee.
RJ helps give Summer her confidence back and will make her his before the summer plans end.

No spoilers. Read via kindle (ARC).
WOW! This series just keeps getting better and better, and I truly do not know how because I LOVED the first one! If you are looking for the best indie romcom spicy novel for this summer, you do not have to look any further. This one has depth, but also the most hilarious moments ever. I absolutely loved how their past and present stories unfold, and love the character growth. I truly had the best time reading this, and I cannot wait to read the next, especially with some shocking news you find out in the end! It is not the cliffhanger that makes you upset, it’s a mind blown sneak peek and just makes you crave to be in this world and never leave it.
Would I recommend? Yes, but please read the others while you are waiting for this one to release as they are interconnected, you are welcome for your summer read.

Loved it! This is the perfect cute summer read that you will devour in one sitting, hopefully in your favorite vacation spot with a drink in hand.
Mya Moore has two sides, moody, darker, angsty and fun, light hearted, funny. I love both sides. The Summer Plan is book three in the Chestnut Mountain series which is on the fun, light hearted side. This series is following a group of friends that so far each have fallen for a firefighter and this falls right in line. However this also happens to be a second chance romance and I loved all "it’s always been you" vibes!
The epilogue was excellent! It had me squealing and yelling “called it”! I cannot wait for the next book!
Thank you Mya Moore and Naughty Nook for the gifted ARC. It was a pleasure!!! All opinions are my own.
Rounded from 4.5 stars

Mya has slowly been becoming one of my new favorite authors. I seem to really connect with all her characters she writes and I love the different vibes she brings to books.
This one, i'm slowly becoming a lover of books with kids WHEN written properly....which this one is. Sophie is literally the sweetest teenage daughter ever who just wants her dad to be happy and I love that more than anything. I literally teared up at the airport scene and the ending with her books.
Like I legit am in love with this romance book. I highly suggest reading it because it was so good. The relationship they develop, the way he treats her kids, her best friend/his sister being there....CHEFS KISS.
I need A trophy copy ASAP! 🫶🏻

I LOVED SUMMER AND RJ!! They were obviously meant for each other. RJ was a stupid teenage boy and it meant they lost so many years together, which did make me sad. But RJ showed Summer that he was a changed man and she was it for him.
Loved the group chats with the ladies, those are always so funny! And naturally, like all the other books in the series there are plenty of poop and butt jokes with the kids. RJ and Summer had so much chemistry together even after being apart for so long. I loved how much RJ immediately cared for Summer's kids and made them a priority. The spice was great, Mya never disappoints there.
I CAN'T FREAKING WAIT FOR RAVEN'S BOOK!!!
Thank you so much Mya and Naughty Nook PR for the ARC!

A summer vacation that they did not expect, but that brings them very close, between lively children and putting on cream.
Funny, heartwarming and steamy, it’s the perfect rom com! 💯

Now let’s get to the main Characters Summer and RJ, these two... I can’t say enough about them, they both earned their way back to each other! RJ’s mouth, ma’am. yes please, and thank you! He would be having me using all my manners. This is such a fun beach read, I do wish I was on the beach while I read.

I adored this book! RJ and Summer were so good together, add in their 4 kids and we get one hell of a blended summer vacation! I love all the representation we get in this book, so many unflattering aspects of life and Mya always includes them in her stories, and it is so appreciated! This book had me cracking up from the very first page and it continued throughout. I loved the few twists we got at the end, and how their story played out. It makes me so excited for what's coming for this series and cannot wait to get Raven's book in my hands.
Thank you, Mya More and Naughty Nook PR for an advanced copy of this eBook. I love this series so dang much!

Mya does it again!!! Such a fun, easy, spicy read! Perfect for your summer vacation!! Who doesn't love a dependable, sexy firefighter with slutty glasses? RJ is everything you could want and more as a book boyfriend! Summer has been through a lot with her kids, is hesitant to put herself out there again. Seeing RJ and Summer find each other again was 🤌 Loved catching up with the girls and guys in Chestnut Mountain! I cannot wait for Ravens story!
Definitely recommend if you like single mom x single dad, firefighter, best friends sister, one bed, second chance romance!

The premise was good—the idea of single parents reuniting was quite appealing—but the protagonist had all the typical problems. It felt as though she had to tick off a list of issues or complications to make her more complex and elicit greater empathy from the reader. Personally, that dampened my interest in seeing how they would resolve any problems they faced together.
The book is very well written, easy to read, and the character development flows quite naturally. Overall, I can say that while the story wasn't my favorite, I did end up enjoying it quite a bit.

The Summer Plans is the third book in The Chestnut Mountain Series and I feel like each book is just as good, if not better than the last. We get all the things we know and love from the first 2 books… poop humor, dick jokes, and our favorite band of Mom friends!! I love RJ and Summer together and the fact that for both of them “it’s always been you”… plus who doesn’t love a best friend’s brother trope? Feel good rom-com vibes with top tier spice.

Mya More has not disappointed me with Chestnut Mountain series yet. Following these single moms find new love has been the most heart warming thing. But the. You add the spice that Mya can write and it takes it all to the next level.
The Summer Plans is everything. With a plot twist I didn't see coming! A second chance love with your best friend's brother and one bed. It is a romance lovers dream come true.
I can not wait for The Haunting Plot now.

I finished this book four days ago and have needed this long just to find the words to express just how amazing this book was. It's no secret how much I love Mya's writing, but this one absolutely blew me away. The way the loved one another and each others kids was incredible. Summer and RJ were absolutely perfect, but Raven deserves all the credit because we all need a best friend/sister like her! I can NOT wait for her book now!!

This book was so cute and spicy! I have loved the entire journey of the series from Mya More! Each best friend has had their own amazing story and delicious fire fighter. RJ and Summer were no different. This book gave us a second chance romance AND one bed trope that built up all the tension until it snapped. The story was written beautifully with every aspect of their kids, their past as a couple and separately. I absolutely adored it !

I loved Summer and RJ’s story! I loved how they never stopped loving each other despite their life experiences. I loved the aspect of Summer’s trio of kiddos, as a mom myself it makes the story so much more relatable. Can’t recommend this one enough! I was laughing often and so excited for the stages of their relationship!
