Rosie and Ben are college sweethearts who share the same
dream. Take Hollywood by storm and make great films
together. Right after graduating they head West and begin
working on an independent film together. Ben as director,
Rosie as producer. They have been together ten years,
extremely close and call each other at least five times a
day. They discuss everything. When they win an award at
Sundance, they become the golden couple in La La Land. Ben
is busy directing films and Rosie is sent out to find
locations for future projects. When she returns home,
Rosie notices the sheets on their bed tossed on the floor
similar to the way Ben handles them after having sex with
her. The alarm bells begin to ring and she confronts Ben.
He admits he had sex in their bed with a powerful producer
he wants to team up with for his next film. They argue and
Ben tells Rosie he only wants to make Blockbuster films,
make a lot of money and buy a huge home in Beverly Hills,
where he will store several expensive classic cars. When
Rosie objects to his plans which she has never heard about
before, Ben tells her they have drifted apart and he wants
to break up with her. He is also not shy about admitting he
will do anything and use anyone to get what he wants. Rosie
is heart broken, but is sure his thinking is only temporary
and she will be able to win him back. After all they have
always been a team, right? Didn't they only belong together?
Rosie goes to her BFF, Angelica, and tells her about the
break up. Angelica insists she needs a vacation and offers
Rosie her parents cottage in Montecito to unwind and
rethink her future. A perfect temporary solution and one
Rosie can afford.
Montecito is gorgeous and the estate of Estelle and Oscar
Pullman is fabulous. The guest house comes complete with
Morris, the butler. He becomes my favorite character as he
knows how to help heal Rosie's broken heart, and help her
find a new direction. Rosie meets Josh, a surfer who works
at a Classics Car Showroom and dreams of owning it someday.
He keeps all of Oscar's expensive vehicles shining at the
estate. He has lived in Montecito his whole life and
introduces Rosie to his gang and becomes a good friend.
Between Morris, Josh, and Estelle, Rosie is tasked to find
something she loves so that she can begin her new life.
They hope she will stay in Montecito.
Location! Location! Location!!!! Anita Hughes will always
magically transport you to a place you will never want to
leave. She did it for me while watching the spectacular
sunsets on the Greek Island in SATORINI SUNSETS; to the most
romantic city in the world in CHRISTMAS IN PARIS;
discovering the beauty of LAKE COMO, and watching to see
George and Amal. This time she whisks us to Montecito, a
seaside village on the coast in Northern California that
will steal your heart as it does to Rosie. New friends, a
new purpose, and finding what she really wants in her life
begins in this new town filled with colorful people. I loved
her journey and cheered when she found her perfect ending.
Fish Tacos made by Rosie was a big hit and so is CALIFORNIA
SUMMER. I am a devoted fan, Ms. Hughes. Where will our
next adventure be set? I am ready. Let's go!
Ben and Rosie are Hollywood’s newest director/producer
dream team. After hitting it big at Sundance, it seems
that their ten years of love and hard work are finally
paying off. Rosie is happy making independent films, but
Ben wants the A-List celebrity package: a house in
Beverly Hills, fancy cars in the driveway, and his name
on the biggest blockbusters. He’s willing to do anything,
even sleep with the most famous producer in town, to get
them.
Rosie is devastated by Ben’s affair, and she decides to
take a break from show business. She accepts her best
friend's invitation to spend the summer at her parents'
estate in Montecito. It's far away from L.A., the perfect
place to start over.
In Montecito, Rosie meets a colorful cast of characters
including Rachel, who owns a chocolate store, and Josh, a
handsome local who splits his time between surfing and
classic cars. Suddenly Rosie has new friends and a new
purpose. She starts a business in the village, and her
luck seems to be turning around. But Rosie knows all too
well that success comes with a price, and the price might
be losing love...again.
California Summer is a touching and romantic story about
following your dreams but not letting them get in the way
of love.
