Explanation Conducive To Books The Girl from Summer Hill (Summer Hill #1)
The first book of a new contemporary romance series set in the mountains of Virginia in a town with full of family legends, romance, and secrets from New York Times bestselling author of the Nantucket Brides trilogy.Sparks fly as fiery Casey Reddick and brooding Hollywood actor Tate Landers clash in the Virginia summer heat. A chef who puts her career first and her love life second, Casey doesn’t see what every girl in town is swooning over. She made up her mind the moment she met Tate—he’s gorgeous, but stuck-up, nothing like his ex-brother-in-law, Devlin who’s playing the Wickham to Tate’s Darcy in a local production of Pride & Prejudice. Casey makes the perfect Elizabeth Bennett—how could she be star-struck when she’s heard Devlin’s damning stories about Tate? As they rehearse together, however, Casey finds herself attracted to Tate—he’s much more down-to-earth than she expected and any physical contact between the two of them literally gives her a tingling, electric shock. As opening night draws near, Casey has some difficult decisions to make. Whom should she believe? The seemingly sincere, slighted Devlin or Tate, whose rough, arrogant exterior may only be skin deep. She’s come to love that jolt she gets when they touch—but will she get burned?

I thought this was a funny audio book. I think this is the first Jude Deveraux book I've read. I thought the scene where Casey believes it was Tate, the movie star, that rummaged through her room was funny, but it was actually a peacock he was chasing. It was so hilarious when she was wondering why he went through her room, made a mess, and left a peacock feather under the bed! :PI received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. When I saw that Jude Deveraux was writing a book that plays on the classic literary work Pride and Prejudice, I was really concerned. Jude Deveraux has always been my all-time favorite author but I feel too many people have used this classic tale as a jumping off point of their own stories. I should have had faith in Deverauxs writing ability, because she didnt disappoint me. Once again I was thoroughly engaged with a
DNF.I am not going to rate this one as I dont think in this case it would be fair.This is a classic case of reader not getting along with the authors writing style. I havent read anything by this author before, and I just found it all pretty overwhelming, 4 different POVs within the first 15%, more character introductions than I can count on two hands, and no real background to any of them.This is the start of a series, but I think it would have been better to bring in everyone at a slightly

This book was so hilarious and heartwarming which makes me wonder why anyone would rate it lower than 5 stars. There were even moments when I found myself laughing out loud. It's a lighthearted summer read with plenty of romance tossed in from different perspectives. I would most definitely recommend this book to a friend.
Meh, I feel totally bombarded by multiple persons point of views. And I lost the story line somehow, and it is so predictable that I struggled to finish this.I know that this is a happy ending story, but the storyline falters, especially with the stupid reasons of the villain in this book.And sometimes the author described a scene in too much details - example: when the hero tries to battle a bird with his niece watching, that I dreaded and feel it is such a long drama and one dedicated chapter
