All Summer Long: A San Francisco Romance (Follow Your Heart) by Melody Carlson

I felt like this story was too slow pace and didn’t keep my interest. I liked the beginning part of the book when Tia decides to move to San Francisco to help her aunt turn a yacht into an upscale restaurant though. The story line had potential and the cover of the book looked good, but I felt like it was too juvenile for my taste.

I couldn’t relate and grew annoyed at Tia’s character. I felt like she was too emotional and controlling when working with others-not really a team player. I also felt like it was totally unrealistic the way she obsessed and went on and on about running into Leo again-a guy she kissed when she was 16.

I read another book by this author (Once Upon a Summertime) and I enjoyed that one better.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book from Revell Books, a division of of Baker Publishing Group, in exchange for an honest review on my blog and social media-all opinions are my own.

About the Book
Tia D’Amico is thrilled to move to San Francisco to help her aunt transform an old luxury yacht into an upscale floating restaurant. What’s not to love? Sunset dinner cruises, upscale wedding receptions–the possibilities are endless and far more appetizing than staying in a monotonous job in her Podunk hometown. Besides, some of her best memories are tied to San Francisco–especially the memory of Leo Parker, her crush from a long-ago sailing camp.

When the self same Leo Parker turns out to be the yacht’s captain, Tia is floating on air. But will it all come crashing down around her when she discovers his heart belongs to someone else?

Get ready for a romantic summer in San Francisco, where the future glistens brighter than the bay at sunset.
