UNDER A SUMMER SKY by Melody Carlson is the third book in
the Follow Your Heart series. I did
not read the first two books
in this series before reading this book, but I feel I
knew what was going on and found it easy to get lost in
the story. This can easily be read as a standalone.
The
characters are well developed with enough backstories to
allow you to see their truth colors. Nicole really cares
for people in general and always sees the best in
everyone even if they treat her badly. The setting has
wonderful bits of architecture and art with a touch of
history to help mesh this story together beautifully.
Since this takes place in Savannah, it makes sense that
there would be ghosts. I really want to know more about
some of the side characters and hope they may show up in
other books within this series. I found this book to be a
quick read and it wrapped up quickly.
Melody Carlson created a
truly memorable read that will leave you wanting to know
more about the characters and looking forward to the next
book in this series. Overall, I feel this would make a
great quick summer read.
High school art teacher Nicole Anderson is looking forward
to a relaxing summer in Savannah, house-sitting and managing
an art gallery for a family friend. The house is luxurious
in a way that only old money could make it, and the gallery
promises interesting days in a gorgeous setting. Yet it
isn't long before her ideal summer turns into more than she
bargained for: a snooty gallery employee who's determined to
force her out, a displaced adolescent roosting in the attic,
and two of Nicole's close childhood friends--who also happen
to be brothers--vying for her attention.
With a backdrop of a beautiful historical city, incredible
architecture, and even an alleged ghost or two, combined
with the opportunity for romance . . . anything can happen!
Bestselling and award-winning author Melody Carlson invites
readers to spend the summer surrounded by beauty and
tantalizing possibilities for the future.
