BOOK REVIEW- ALL SUMMER LONG, (Fool's Gold series Book 9)- Former underwear model turned entrepreneur Clay Stryker has loved, tragically lost and vowed that he'll never risk his heart again. After making his fortune, the youngest of the rugged Stryker brothers returns to Fool's Gold, California, to put down roots on a ranch of his own. But he's frustrated to discover that even in his hometown, people see him only for his world-famous…assets.
Firefighter Chantal (Charlie) Dixon grew up an ugly duckling beside her delicately beautiful mother, a feeling reinforced long ago by a man who left soul-deep scars. Now she has good friends, a solid job and the itch to start a family—yet she can't move toward the future while she's haunted by painful memories.Clay finds an unexpected ally, and unexpected temptation, in tomboyish Charlie, the only person who sees beyond his dazzling good looks to the real man beneath. But when Charlie comes to him with an indecent proposal, will they be able to overcome their pasts and find a love that lasts beyond one incredible summer AMAZON
A pretty good story, although there is a lot of sexual foreplay in the story. Yes, I also realize there is a reason for it beside the usual reasons. I really liked Charlie; she was tough because she had to be. It was not only to protect herself physically (and do her job) but also because she really did have a large, tender heart. That tender heart had been stomped on more than once.
Its been a long time since Clay had been seen as much more than a beautiful man with a really great butt. Charlie sees him, deep into him and recognizes his worth. A great friendship developed. I did like the story just not sure everyone will be on board with all the sex.
Oh and Charlie's mother? Wow, someone who was totally self absorbed. But I like how the story developed about her growing up some while in Fool's Gold. She really didn't have any clue about being a mother. One of my favorite conversations was with asking another mother for help, "Pretend I'm from another planet and I've never seen a mother, daughter relationship before".
