Summer Moments by Kimelene Carr has a powerful emotional punch. After experiencing a major childhood tragedy and the ensuing emotional fallout, Alexandra has struggled most of her life. Now, just before she’s freed to go to college, she finds herself stuck at home. But when Michael shows up, everything changes. Alex’s journey is a satisfying one and I love her dynamic with Michael. It’s all beautifully described making Summer Moments one of my favorite feel good novels!

The end of this book made me cry... I loved every page of it though. The main character Alex, goes through hell, but when Michael appears into her life everything changes. But beautiful things don’t last forever... very emotional! Well done

Where do I begin! This is one novel that has left an undeniably love connection on me.
I felt so connected to the characters, especially Alexandria and Micheal. The love they shared remind me to not give up on finding true love with not only a physical connection but an emotionally one that will last a lifetime.
Kudos to the Author on bringing theses characters to life, the scenes and setting were so surreal. Eagerly looking forward to book two in this series.
