41230808From the back of the book:

Lady Jane Cummings is certain that her summer is ruined when she is forced to reside at isolated Merrymere Lake with her reckless brother and ailing father. Fast-paced London society is replaced with a small-town grapevine. But one bit of gossip catches Jane’s attention – rumors that the lake’s brooding new resident is also an elusive highwayman.

Jane must face the much-discussed mysterious stranger after he saves her brother from a pub brawl. She immediately recognizes him from London: Byrne Worth, a war hero and apparent hermit – whom she finds strangely charming. The two build a fast friendship, and soon nothing can keep this lady away from Merrymere’s most wanted. Convinced of his innocence, Jane is determined to clear Byrne’s name – and maybe enjoy this summer after all.

There really isn’t a whole lot to say about this book. It is a simple historical romance, with no great mystery to how the plot will unfold, and that is why I loved it. This book is perfect in it’s simplicity. I loved Jane from the previous Kate Noble books, but in SUMMER OF YOU we see a completely different side that explained her previous behavior. This book is perfect if you are looking for something simple and fun to read!

the book girl gives THE SUMMER OF YOU a 5/5!
