All Summer Long Ebook Epub by Susan Mallery
In All Summer Long, Susan Mallery brings the Stryker brothers' trilogy to an outstanding finish and tantalizes her readers with a teasing glimpse of their sister Evageline's upcoming story. While this latest novel within the Idiot's Gold series is a bit more serious than the previous two novels, it's a romantic and pretty gentle-hearted read.
Well drawn and true to life, Charlie Dixon and Clay Stryker are fabulous characters. Simple, blunt and to the purpose, Charlie is a refreshing breath of contemporary air. She says what she means and she or he means what she says. By no means imply or hurtful, she is delicate to others' feelings and she gets her point across with an great deal of tact. Finally ready to put her painful previous behind her, Charlie entices Clay with a proposal he finds not possible to resist.
Former underwear model turned entrepreneur Clay Stryker has beloved, tragically lost and vowed that he'll never risk his heart again. After making his fortune, the youngest of the rugged Stryker brothers returns to Idiot's Gold, California, to put down roots on a ranch of his own. But he's pissed off to find that even in his hometown, people see him just for his world-famous…assets.
Firefighter Chantal (Charlie) Dixon grew up an ugly duckling beside her delicately lovely mom, a feeling strengthened way back by a man who left soul-deep scars. Now she has good associates, a solid job and the itch to begin a household-yet she will't transfer toward the longer term whereas she's haunted by painful memories.
Clay finds an sudden ally, and sudden temptation, in tomboyish Charlie, the only person who sees beyond his dazzling beauty to the real man beneath. However when Charlie involves him with an indecent proposal, will they be capable of overcome their pasts and discover a love that lasts past one incredible summer?
