Find your perfect boy and let love win.

Summer is a magical time for most people. Seasons and school schedules come and go. Family and friends change as do jobs and life. But if you are honest about yourself, your fated mate is out there waiting and hoping to find you.

It does not matter boy or girl. It is what your heart and head decide for you. It may not even be a choice if it is the right match. It does not matter what others say or think. It is wise to listen to their advice and consider consequences. Yet it is you and your partner that must make it work.

At least until you have kids of your own. Then provide guidance, understanding, and love. Love makes it work. The blessings make it worth while. Be a part of the community because it does take one to raise a child in the way he should go and be who he is with confidence.

Short and sweet. I only wish there was a greater distinguishing 'voice' between the MCs. 3.5 stars.

It’s a bit over written and overwrought but fine, I guess?

[Bob · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a sweet story with a HEA like most of Sanderfer’s books. It was just too short. It had the feel of a short story instead of Novel.

The book needs some minor editing. An author who has written as many books as this one should know the difference between “your” and “you’re”.

Another sweet quickie.
Until Summer's End was another sweet little quickie about 2 young men finding each other and falling in love.
Daniel Elijah Sanderfer has a way of making you care about his characters, even with the stories being as short as they are. You want them to be happy and find love, even if it's almost unbelievable how fast it all happens.
And for Cheyanne and Jackson, fast it was! But the heart knows what the heart wants.

Kevin Earlywine onces again does a good job with the narration, I like that he sounds age appropriate, like an actual teen, not someone older trying to sound younger.

Sweet and heartwarming

Sweet and heartwarming story of two teens who meet and fall in love. This was a quick read with no angst, sweet moments, and a little humor. I'm still chuckling from the line about NASCAR. While reading I couldn't help but think how poetic this story was. There were many beautiful lines and descriptions. A truly wonderful story.

This is a great coming out story.

For Cheyenne and Jackson living where they were living, hiding a secret was hard. Fortunately, Jackson had a grandfather who loved him no matter what and Cheyenne had his mom who stoked by him and supported him.

Becoming Friends...Lovers

A beautiful story of Cheyanne and Jackson, becoming friends in a not so safe world. It was heart warming to follow them through their journey.
