An Island Summer

De: Jenny Hale

Narrado por: Lauryn Allman

A totally perfect and heartwarming small-town romance about new beginnings, old secrets, and how home is truly where the heart is....

Meghan Gray hasn’t returned to the golden sands of Hatteras Island since her beloved Pappy passed away 10 years ago. But with her life in New York falling apart—and her dreams of becoming a successful chef going up smoke—she quits her waitress job and heads back home on a hot summer’s day, hoping she’ll find some answers there.

Packing up her belongings and the manila envelope her grandfather left for her, she makes the nine-hour drive to the sun-drenched island. On her first night, she meets brooding Toby Meyers, whose sparkling blue eyes make her feel like coming home. Meghan is instantly drawn to the enigmatic entrepreneur, longing to know more.

Pappy’s fishing cottage is just how she remembers; a shingled bungalow on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, with two rocking chairs on the porch. As the waves crash, Meghan realizes that this house—and the special memories it holds—is all she has left. Could this be her fresh start?

When Meghan opens the faded envelope gifted by her grandpa, she finds an old photograph, along with a mysterious key. If she can find what it belongs to, she’ll unlock a family secret that has the power to change everything—one that has been hidden for decades. And it will either bring Meghan and Toby together or break their hearts....

Heartwarming Story

Sweet story set on a dreamy location. Excellent narrator. It’s a feel good read. Very enjoyable to listen to!

In Love with Jenny's Books !!

I swear I'm never disappointed reading from Jenny Hale. Sad, funny, romantic and sweet. I loved it!!

I want a friend like Tess!

I was so glad to see Meghan come out on top with her FORTUNEEE. Toby had me in the first half, I'm not going to lie but I'm so happy about the fact that he explained the truth to Meghan towards the end of the book. I loved seeing them together in the end and I also loved Tess's friendship and bond with Meghan. I need me a best friend just like her! And speaking of Tess, I might just have to take a page out of her book and put myself out there initially the way she did with Alex. ;) The only thing I didn't like was how some of the chapters on the middle felt a bit long and kind of dragged out the story. But overall, Ms. Jenny never disappoints! 9/10- would definitely recommend!!!

Loved It!

Heart warming, exciting - great job combining the fragility of life, past struggles, bright futures ahead and love being the center of it all. Loved it!

great story line

I am really liking her style of writing! Adds a twist of suspense with romance. only thing I can say against it, is the reader pronounced Hatteras and Manteo incorrectly a couple of times...coming from someone that has lived in NC all her life lol! But I would listen again!! great story

It's not Ha TER as .

I love the story. But every time the narrator mispronounced Hatteras and Manteo I just cringe. The accent is way off too.

Just read it-mispronounced words Hatteras, philodendron and what kind of accent is this?

The author must not have listened to this-it is awful. If you’ve never heard of Hatteras or heard a southern accent, you will be fine! Otherwise it’s sooo distracting-seems like a good story though!
