Summers in Seaside
Summer Magic
Life never goes as planned …
Two years ago, I lost my dream job.
Then, to make matters worse, I caught my boyfriend cheating on me.
Not knowing where else to turn, I escaped to my aunt’s house in Seaside, Oregon.
Now, I’m helping run her bed & breakfast, the Sandy Shore Inn. Life may not be what I’d planned, but I’m finally getting back on track.
That is until I meet Stone Ryder.
He’s famous for both his best selling novels and sexy good looks.
When he walks into the B&B, I’m caught off guard by how kind and humble he is. But what really shocks me is the unexpected spark of attraction between us.
Our chemistry is real, but Stone’s life is all about fiction.
Can we sustain the magic we feel when we’re together, or will it fizzle out as quickly as it started?

This is the first book that I’ve read by this author. I was lucky enough to receive an advanced reader copy and I must admit I loved every second of it. This book is a quick read, the characters were so relatable and the secondary characters I absolutely loved.
Olivia just lost her job and walks in in her boyfriend with another woman on the same day. Devastated, she packs her things, leaves Tacoma and drives to Seaside to stay with her aunt Lorelei at her Sandy Shore B&B. Now 2 years later a guest walks in and quite literally sweeps her off her feet. Stone Ryder is her sexy, sweet and humble new guest and also a best selling author of the book she’s currently reading. He’s in town for the week for a book signing. There’s an instant attraction between these two. Every second they can they spend together. And they fall, fast, knowing it will end in a couple days. The sex is steamy and their chemistry is like magic. But can Olivia and Stone make it with a long distance relationship? And what happens when he meets her friends from Tacoma?
This was such a fast paced book and steamy. There are several twists I’m glad Collier put in there as their relationship was just too good. I loved Brianne and Chelsea and I want a book on Lorelei. Such a sweet read with a little drama and angst and some spicy scenes with a lot of love. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Welcome to seaside and this contemporary addition to the collection.
Olivia is in Seaside helping run her Aunt's B&B after losing her job and catching her boyfriend in bed with another woman. She is slightly mistrusting and avoiding relationships like the plague. When author Stone stays at the B&B she is instantly bowled over but tries to keep him at arm's length.
This was a sweet read with plenty of sugar and a dash of spice. It was good to the community surrounding Olivia, which is part of the reason I love them so much. There was a freedom that living in Seaside brought to Olivia that enabled her to be true to herself.

This book was spectacular! I loved it from the get go. Unfortunately, Olivia was not having a good day but things got better for her. Olivia decides to move in with her aunt who owns a B&B. She is happy there. One of her guests is a famous author, Stone.
Both are enamored with each other but Stone finally makes his move. These two are combustible together! There some serious trust issues that Olivia has and that threatens their relationship, but Stone is determined to make it work.
Will they get their HEA?

This is part of the Summer in Seaside collection. This was a fun summer romance. I was drawn to this book because of the B&B and Stone is an author. I'm so glad I read this fun book. Stone and Olivia have an instant connection and they have great chemistry. I felt for Olivia and why she's in Seaside. Her ex is a nasty piece of work. When life knocked her down she went to the place that feels like home. I love Olivia's aunt. She's awesome. She would make me want to have a stay at the B&B. This is a great summer read. Plenty of heart for this reader!

Another steamy and fun summer themed quick read. This is my first read from CL Collier and I enjoyed this adorable summer romance between famous author Stone, visiting the town of Seaside for a signing, and Olivia who helps to run the local B&B with her Aunt. I love this Summers in Seaside series and all the insights into this town and its inhabitants. Summer Magic was a gorgeous and satisfying story for Olivia who moves to Seaside after a heartbreak. She finds love and a happy ending after rocky beginnings.

A quick, sweet and spicy read! I enjoyed the story, the connection between Stone and Olivia was strong and intense. They have an instant pull that ramps up throughout. The story is well written and was able to keep me involved in their lives. This is a good book to curl up with and enjoy on a hot summer day.

This book was fun to read from the get-go! The characters, the scene, the emotions, all came to life as I read each page. I was hoping,,, and praying,,, and wishing Olivia and Stone would find happiness. But, do they? Is it meant to be? I didn't want to put it down until I found out. It's a short read as novels go, so don't miss this one!

Ughhhh... Seriously, I'm just getting fed up of the girls being bitches and totally ruining good books... The 3 stars is just for the guy and the guy alone.. He was too sweet... The girl didn't even apologize in the end... I have a lot of swear words for her which I won't write it here... Bitch is too polite of a word to describe her.. I will just leave it at that..

I loved their story. It seemed like their love was just meant to be. I am so happy that they were able to work through the few issues they has. It was such a heart warming story as well as the heat factor.

This is Stone and Olivia's story that was instant chemistry. These two meet and sparks fly. The magic these two have from the start is like lightning, but is it all fiction? So good!!!
