SUMMER INDISCRETIONS is book 2 in Tamara Mataya's Summer Love series. On the surface, SUMMER INDISCRETIONS is a story about a woman becoming unexpectedly romantically involved with her brother's best friend, but there is so much more to this story. What fascinates me the most about SUMMER INDISCRETIONS, is that it is a story about identity and changing your destiny. Even though Blake Wilde was in the previous book, SUMMER INDISCRETIONS works as a standalone story.

Melanie Walker is headed for a breakdown at the opening of SUMMER INDISCRETIONS, prompting her to escape from New York and her stressful job. What Melanie does is more than just go on vacation and swap living spaces with a stranger. What she gains from her experience, using the home swapping website Switch, is the freedom to be herself as well as to try new things that appeal to her. Although Melanie isn't looking for love on her vacation, when she spies Blake on the beach, sparks fly. Something about the change in location, and the change in Melanie's confidence has them looking at each other with new eyes and becoming wildly attracted to who they see. Tamara Mataya does an amazing job of bringing the reader into the moment and making the beach enchantments come alive. I was almost able to smell the sea air and suntan lotion as I read along. I like getting both perspectives because it enabled me to get the full extent of Melanie's transformation, as well as get how deeply Blake fell in love with her -- much to his surprise. SUMMER INDISCRETIONS has a torrid love affair, but the humor makes it irresistible for readers.

SUMMER INDISCRETIONS is a fun, sexy story about love and transformation. I love how Melanie goes away and tries to lose herself, but ends up embracing the best parts of who she really is instead. I'd be curious to read about Melanie's brother in a future story. I am super excited to read the next book by Tamara Mataya!
