Summer Ever After
Chloe Morgan doesn’t do chaos—until her ex-boyfriend leaves her no choice.
Running Healing Grounds has always been her pride and joy, but between bills and endless early mornings, she’s one burnt-out espresso shot away from losing it all. The last thing she needs is Everest Davis—professional hockey player, town heart throb, and ex-boyfriend, deciding to stick around.
Everest is no stranger to rebuilding from scratch. After walking away from the ice and the life that nearly broke him, Silver Lake was supposed to be a temporary solution. But working beside Chloe—the stubborn, sharp-tongued perfectionist who’s clearly carrying too much—feels more like home than anything he’s had in years.
What starts as reluctant teamwork turns into something neither of them late nights, quiet laughter, and a connection that might be worth rekindling. But love—like sourdough—needs patience, care, and time to rise. And if they’re not careful, their fears might make them throw it all away before it ever has a chance.
Some summers change everything.
Summer Ever After is a story about starting over, holding on, and the kind of love that feels like coming home.

Everest. Davis. That's it, that's the review. 🤭❤️
No, but seriously.. these books, in my opinion, just get better with each one. This one, my favorite! The charming, witty back and forth banter made their chemistry feel so real and kept me smiling literally the entire book! Even though their story is heartbreaking, it's also beautiful. The struggles, the yearning, the second chances, the very, very slow burn, and the MMC not stopping until he wins the FMC's heart back.. the perfect combination of an amazing book!
The small town, close-knit community feel is also something that I loved with this one. It made it feel extra sweet, heartwarming, and wholesome.
This is one that I wish I could read again for the first time! 🍓
I've been able to see the author's writing develop in the course of these four books and honestly, I didn't want it to end. It makes me excited to read more from her!
Thank you for this collaboration opportunity 💜

What a perfect way to end this series.
This has easily become one of my favorite couples, and I devoured this book in a single day. I couldn't put it down. It was emotional, heartbreaking, and incredibly rewarding, making it the perfect conclusion to a series I've loved.
I have to admit that pregnancy in romance books isn't usually my favorite trope, and I'm also not a fan of miscommunication. However, I think both elements were handled really well here. Their conflicts felt believable, and the emotions behind their decisions made sense, even when I wanted to scream at them.
Everest has been one of my favorite characters from the very beginning. I loved seeing how, once he realized he wanted to fight for the love of his life, he was willing to leave his addiction behind. His growth throughout the series is beautiful, but what I admire most about him is how devoted he is to Chloe. He forgives, he loves wholeheartedly, and he never stops trying, even when things seem impossible.
My heart also ached for Chloe. She's trapped in incredibly difficult circumstances, and her instinct is to push Everest away because she genuinely believes she's protecting him. I understood why she made those choices, even if I was also frustrated by them. Some of her decisions after breaking up with him drove me crazy, but I never doubted that her intentions came from a good place. She's the kind of person who is always trying to take care of everyone else, leaving no time to look after herself.
Watching them find their way back to each other was everything I hoped for. Their journey wasn't easy, and some moments genuinely broke my heart, but that made the ending all the more satisfying. It was sweet, emotional, and incredibly moving, while still carrying the weight of everything they had been through.
I suffered so much alongside these two, but that's exactly why their story felt so special. This book was beautiful from beginning to end, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better ending to the series.

✨📚 **Book Review: *Summer Ever After* by Brianna Sanchez** 📚✨
I just finished the final book in the **Seasons of Love** series, *Summer Ever After*, and once again... **Brianna Sanchez did it again!** 😭❤️
I absolutely loved reading Chloe and Everest's story.
Everest was the definition of a **green flag**. 🥹💚 He was so sweet, patient, caring, and completely head over heels for Chloe. No matter what life threw at her, he was always there—literally her knight in shining armor. I swear this man set the bar HIGH.
Chloe had the biggest heart and was always willing to help everyone else... but when it came to accepting help herself? Absolutely not. 😂 She was so stubborn and kept her guard up for a long time, but watching her slowly open up to Everest made their romance even more special.
One of the moments that really touched me was when Everest opened his home to Chloe and her mom, Jema. ❤️ Watching Jema battle cancer absolutely broke my heart. That part had me so emotional. 😭
I also loved that we got to see and hear about the previous couples throughout the book. It made this final installment feel like coming home to everyone we've fallen in love with over the series.
The slow-burn romance was done so well, and the ending was everything I hoped for. It wrapped up the series beautifully and left me with the biggest smile.
I'm honestly so sad to say goodbye to the **Seasons of Love** series, but I already can't wait to see what Brianna Sanchez writes next! 💕✨
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you love sweet, emotional, slow-burn romances with lovable characters, definitely add this series to your TBR!

this is a happily ever always 🍓💗🥹✨
What a perfect line to end the most perfect book and series. 😭✨
And the ending with all the characters from the previous books coming together?? Like… WOW. I absolutely LOVED getting to see everyone reunited.
This book made me feel everything. Watching not only Chloe and Everest grow and heal, but seeing their families heal too, was so beautifully done. I loved how Everest always showed up for Chloe and constantly reminded her to take care of herself, while also working on himself and mending the relationship with his dad and brother. He was truly the definition of a top-tier MMC. 🥹🤍
This story tackled so many heavy emotional topics, but they were written with so much care and heart. I loved watching these characters work through everything instead of letting it define them.
And Brianna… the growth from Book 1 to Book 4 is honestly incredible. The difference is so obvious, and it’s been such a joy watching you grow as an author in such a short amount of time. I’m so grateful I’ve gotten to witness your journey and cheer you on through every career move. 💗
Hands down, this is my favorite book in the series. I’m going to miss these characters so much, but I seriously cannot wait to see what you write next. 🫶✨

Thank you so much to the author for sharing an ARC of this book with me!
“Chloe Morgan is still the girl who makes everything in my life matter”
How can it already be book four in this so good small town romance series? Every book was so enjoyable and this last one was no exception! Second chances and a man obsessed with her? Sign me up !! Everest and Chloe’s story was heartbreaking. It was intense and it was the slowest of the slow burns to ever exist! The tension and the banter between them was amazing and it was so funny. The resilience of her and the strength of his will, determined to show her he was there to stay for good. The depth of the miscommunication between them and the effect it had on them both … very Marianne and Connel of them tbh! I can’t believe we are at the end of this series! It was fun and amazing and honestly such a fast paced read! I’m definitley cured of my reading slump !!!
I’m curious to read other project from this author whom, I think, has great things in store !!!
“Because the way I’m looking at her right now … it’s the same way I used to. Like she’s the whole damn reason I came back at all”
“Shortcakes”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | A Summer Romance That Had Me Up Until 1:30 AM
I went into Summer Ever After hoping for a sweet summer romance, and I got so much more than that.
This story is full of nostalgia, second chances, and the kind of love that quietly stays with you. Brianna Sanchez created characters that felt genuine and easy to root for, and I found myself completely invested in their journey.
I actually stayed up until 1:30 in the morning because I couldn’t put it down. I had to know how it ended. By the final chapters, I was crying right along with the characters. Those emotional moments landed exactly the way they were supposed to.
What I loved most was the emotional connection between the characters. Their journey felt authentic, reminding me that sometimes the right person is worth finding your way back to.
There were a few moments where I wished the story slowed down a little more, but that didn’t take away from how much I enjoyed it.
If you’re looking for a heartfelt romance with summer vibes, emotional moments, and characters you’ll genuinely care about, I definitely recommend picking this one up.

I absolutely loved this book! It tells the story of two people who deeply loved each other but had to make heartbreaking sacrifices. He wanted to chase his dreams, while she stayed behind to care for her sick mother and keep her family’s business running. Their separation was emotional and believable, and watching their journey back to each other years later kept me completely invested. The chemistry between the main characters was wonderful, and I loved seeing them work through their past, face old wounds, and learn to forgive. Their story felt heartfelt, emotional, and real. This book completely hooked me—I stayed up way too late reading because I couldn’t put it down and ended up finishing it in just two nights. If you enjoy second-chance romances with plenty of emotion, character growth, and a satisfying ending, I highly recommend this one!
Also… why is there only a 5-star rating? Where’s the 100-star option? 😂 I’d like to file a formal complaint because this book deserves 100 stars. Five is simply not enough!
My real rating is 100/5. ⭐️

'Summer Ever After' was an ex-to-lovers trope, so there were many parts that were sad and showed just how much pain both of the main characters were in.
Everest and Chloe used to be together, but they separated and developed a huge misunderstanding about each other. However, Everest was given the chance to see her again when he came back to Silver Lake. This time, he didn't want to lose Chloe again, and through many trials and tribulations, they were able to love each other once more.
This book was also a slow burn romance like the third book in this series, but even slower. Every time Everest took a step forward, Chloe took three steps back. She was hesitant on going back to Everest, while Everest was trying to show her that he is changing for her. This was such a great, complex read, and I can feel the pain and heartbreak from both of the main characters. Overall, this was the best book in the series that I have read, and I hope for more books like 'Summer Ever After'.

Oh I I just love a second chance romance 🤭 this was such a cute book and I really enjoyed the characters!! this was a great way to wrap up the Seasons of Love series and I loved seeing all the characters we were introduced to get a happy ending. So excited for what Brianna has in store for the future!

Happy release day to Summer Ever After! ☀️ It's been such a fun journey being an ARC reader for Brianna Sanchez, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to experience the Seasons of Love characters. Thank you for letting me be part of it!
If you're looking for a small-town, second-chance, exes-to-lovers romance with plenty of heart, family, and community, this one delivers. I loved how much this book felt like summer, from the Strawberry Festival to the Fourth of July festivities—it really transported me to Silver Lake.
In my opinion, Everest and Chloe's relationship is up there. They might even be tied with Derek and Fallon for my favorite couple in the series. Everest is determined to win back the love of his life, and I really enjoyed seeing all the ways he showed Chloe that he wasn't ready to give up on them. I also liked that the spice didn't take over the story and was saved more for the end, allowing the focus to stay on their emotional journey and the tension between them.
That said, there were a few moments where the tone felt a little uneven, especially during the spice scenes and the epilogue. The first half of the book leaned more into the banter and Everest's flirting, while the second half took on a much more serious tone. I also found myself wanting more of Chloe's relationship with her mom and to see that storyline explored a little deeper, even though it was still touched on. There were also a few moments near the ending that felt a little cheesy for my personal taste.
Overall, this was a sweet summer romance that captures the charm of a close-knit small town and makes you want to spend a season in Silver Lake.
2.9–3/5 ⭐️

Absolutely loved this book!!
Dare I say this might be my fav book in the series?? Although I still love the other three this one just holds a special place in my heart.
I also loved that while reading the series you could watch Brianna’s writing become better and better throughout the books. I think she did an amazing job bringing awareness to alcohol abuse, which is something I really appreciate.
Thank you so much to Brianna for giving me the opportunity to read and review her work!! I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!!

This book gave me all the emotions to ever exist. I LOVE a good second chance romance! Everest is now my new book bf? I just love a man who is so caring and attentive, he truly has the biggest heart. I loved Chloe although some of her actions/reactions had me screaming... I still love her. Again I love the mentions of how the found family is doing and growing so much!!!!! I can not wait to see what's next from Brianna!
