Camp Firefly Falls #3
Crushing on Cooper
When Allison Nelson’s failed bakery leaves her career in limbo she takes a job at Camp Firefly Falls. It’s a trip down memory lane to return to the camp she attended during her childhood, but she gets more than she expected. A corporate retreat arrives, and Allison is forced to sink or swim in a new romance with her first love. But a casual summer fling doesn’t go as planned, and she dives in with her heart, even if she’s too scared to tell Cooper about her son and a past full of failure.
Cooper Marshall spent the last decade as the golden boy of snowboarding winning multiple Olympic medals. When he decides to settle down and take a suit-and-tie job, he’s sent on a retreat to Camp Firefly Falls. More than fond memories of the camp await him, and he discovers his childhood crush that got away. He makes the move he should have years ago, but Allison is not the Allie he remembers, and the week-long fling she insists upon keeps him at arm’s length.
When Allison’s truth is revealed, Cooper learns the girl he fell in love with has changed into a woman he doesn’t know. But the Allie he remembers is still in Allison’s heart, and she struggles with learning to let go of her mistakes to take a chance on love.

Cute and Quick
This is a cute quick friends to lovers romance. He was her brother's best friend and they all went to the same camp every summer. They both crushed in each other, though she never knew that he liked her. Fast forward 15+ years later and they meat again at their old stomping ground. Everything moves pretty fast, so there isn't a lot of time for character development, especially as it relates to the hero. It's a decent read that I think could have been improved if written from dual POVs.

Allison Nelson, Camp Firefly Falls pastry chef and Cooper Marshall, a new executive meet again at Camp Firefly Falls. They were neighbors growing up and had both attended the camp when they were kids. Allie admits she was and is still Crushing on Cooper but she does not tell him she has a son.
She figures out too late that she doesn't want just a week long fling but a real relationship with Cooper, but he is hurt. Meg the head chef and Allie are offered a position in a new restaurant in Boston, where Cooper is working and a happy ending is in sight.
The characters are fun, the emotions are deep and the developing relationship gets better and better to make Crushing on Cooper another successful Camp Firefly Fall romance.

This book started out so fast in the romance part. We don’t even know anything about these characters yet. It was a blind side in that aspect. They saw each other in the first five minutes and they are already making out. This book jumped right in and I was lost from gate. I’m not interested in finishing it. And just so you know, whenever I feel like stopping a book. I always make myself wait about a month before DNF’ing it. Just to see if I was in a bad mood at the time I started to read it or if it was genuinely not for me. I waited, and it didn’t get better.

I enjoyed this latest installment of Camp Firefly Falls. The story was sweet (who didn't have a camp crush as a kid?). It fell a little bit short for me because unlike its predecessors, it was single POV, first person (shero), present tense (the rest of the series so far is dual POV third, normal past tense). Present tense isn't my preference as a reader, and I really missed having the hero's perspective through the narrative. But I have no gripes about the story itself.

If you are looking for a book that doesn't require a whole lot of brain cells, then this is the book for you.
You won't find in-depth history or any messy love triangles here.
It's a re-ignited high school romance. I wouldn't even say 2nd chance romance cause they never went past the crush stage when they were teens.
Highly predictable, but sometimes you just need fluff. It's quick it's easy, and you'll be done in a day.

What a summer!
Allison being a single mom who just lost her business, you only hope that she find someone to understand her. Look who shows up all these years later, no one but her childhood crush/love, Cooper. I loved everything about this book. It really made me realize that you never know where life may take you if you just take a chance.

This was a sweet, love story between 2 people who knew each other as kids and were attracted to one another but circumstances just weren't in their favor.
Allie/Allison is a single mom/pastry chef and a camp she attended as a kid. Cooper is a guy who just started a new job with a pharmaceutical company and is on a retreat at his old childhood camp. They meet on his first day and sparks fly.

Cute
This book is a cutesy story line. In places it was a little bit too far fetched to be realistic (in my opinion only). I did think the plot was good, a little too much sex for me. Overall, a decent read which would be good for contemporary romance readers

Memories of Summer Camp!
Everyone had a "One that got away" in their life. This story tells of meeting up again to recapture that "Summer Love".

Fun yet too predictable
The setting is great. The friendships are lasting and thoughtful. The love scenes are romantic and a little arousing. Summer beach reading perfect

Es bastante cursi. Los personajes no están muy desarrollados y por lo tanto no son queribles. En una palabra sólo si no tienes nada mejor que hacer.

Meh! Didn’t hate it. But didn’t love it! Nice simple read! Nothing too intense, so a good cleansing book before getting into something gritty!

A fun book. I just didn't get why Allison thinks her changes are so monumental- seems like regular growing up stuff. Like the pictures at the end.

This book had a good storyline. I like a book that is a little more engaging. But a nice story to read.

CRUSHING ON COOPER-FATE COMES FULL CIRCLE IN THIS BLAZING HOT SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE!
Allison {Allie} had high hopes in college until she made the mistake of having unprotected relations with her boyfriend and became pregnant with her adorable son Max. Allie has the gift of being a master baker her creations are beyond awesome. She did own a bakery but it failed because she was unable to hire help and made quality time to be with her son. Allie hit the jackpot when she landed a job at Camp Firefly Falls. Becoming friends with the chef and being able to bake her own creations is a blessing to her. The camp brought back joyful memories when her brother and her crush Cooper were there. Cooper, the Gold Medal snowboarder, now retired from the sport shows up at the camp due to his new job. When he sees Allie his childhood crush he is elated and a romance flourishes. When Cooper finds out about Max he is enraged that Allie did trust him enough to tell him herself. Cooper goes home leaving her broken-hearted with the knowledge of her mistake.
LOVED this heart-stirring fast paced well-written romance. The story has fun engaging characters, breathtaking scene descriptions, witty dialogue and blissful moments. Allie and Cooper’s relationship certainly has its up and downs but their romance is filled with burning passion and unwavering devotion. I truly appreciated that the author showed that in relationships communication and trust are so important, and one should not be afraid to tell up front any complications that might interfere with a relationship. The author also showed that even though you are a single parent, it is important to make time for yourself to have fun and find love. My eyes did fill with tears, but then the smiles came with the heart-melting conclusion. This is a most gratifying and entertaining read. If you treasure fantasy romance this is a wonderful story for your library. {I was gifted this book and this is my honest review}. In the world of fantasy romance, the possibilities are endless, but always fascinating. Without reservations, I recommend this book.

That crush started at thirteen, the last time Allie/Allison saw Cooper. She never forgot the feelings she had for her brother's best friend and the boy who teased her into way too many situations. Now he's all grown up, has some Olympic Gold Metals and a new job. She, of course, has had some changes in her life as well, but the week long fling they agree to doesn't need to be complicated by telling him.
The Allison he knew would never have initiated anything intimate. Allie would and does. How does he feel about the all grown up version of his friend/crush?
Her secret involves a son with a man she never married and reluctantly shares custody. Will she really be able to let go in a week? Will Cooper want her to? What about her life now that she has allowed herself to feel?
Enjoy this grown-ups-growing-up-story and the characters that make us laugh, steam, and want their happiness. You'll enjoy her friend and the new adventures of life she is in for.
