ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 15, 2014
When literary agent Tracy Ratcliffe travels to the sleepy village of Wentworth Cove, Maine, for a much-needed vacation, the most excitement she’s expecting is a sunset walk along the beach. Instead, she hears about a portrait of a woman who looks suspiciously like her that has hung in the local art gallery for years, even though she’s never set foot in Wentworth Cove before. Tracy also meets handsome Nathan Norsworthy, a moody aspiring novelist who takes her breath away. Nathan helps her deal with the suspicion that the man she knew and loved as her father probably wasn’t. That is, until she begins to suspect that Nathan is using her to break into the world of publishing

Review: ANOTHER SUMMER by Rebecca Stevenson is a contemporary novella. Tracy is a workaholic, who is in Maine for a much needed vacation. She needs time to relax and find the world’s best clam chowder! She is a literary agent in Boston and has neglected her personal life along the way. She soon meets some wonderful locals including the moody gorgeous Nathan.
Turns out that a simple summer vacation might unlock some family secrets and the man she is falling in love with, might be using her for her publishing connections. What’s a girl to do? I can’t reveal too many plotline twists, because it’s a short read as it is!! Tracy’s character needed a little more development and I do think that we needed to see more of the romance. Hey, I love my “happy ever afters”!! I would recommend this novella for any reader who wants to read a short but sweet story. I just think that it was a tad too short. I wanted MORE!

Very nice review Jules. Short and sweet
Wonderful review Jules. I know how difficult it is to write a review for a short story-definitely more difficult than a full length novel.
Wonderful review, Jules. I agree. Writing a review on a novella is very hard, especially if you try to avoid spoilers. A novella is all spoilers.
Great review Jules will have to pick it up.
Thanks for the honest review, Jules! I love your last line. Leaving my readers wanting more prompts me to get the sequel finished sooner. More of Wentworth Cove and it’s beautiful coastline and wonderful people…coming soon! Thanks again for reading and reviewing! Rebecca Stevenson
great review Jules. Sounds good.
sounds great, jules. I plan on adding this to my list to read soon. thanks.
Wonderful review. Sounds great.
Thanks for the review.sometimes a novella isn’t quite long enough to get across all of the information we want to know. 😉
Very nice review. I like short stories, when I need something fast to relax with.
Good job Jules! Novella’s are hard to review, like everyone has said, they are so short it’s almost a novella do do a review. I’m more into the full length stories, I love to live in the books I read…some short ones are quite spectacular though!
Sounds good, Jules. Thanks for the great review.
Writing a review for a novella must be difficult, since there isn’t much room. Great review though.
