Summer's Love ~Stu Summers ~ A Twofer

Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas surprised me with this sweet book. It’s one of those “You’ve Got Mail” love stories that we all hate to love. It is a surprising read in many ways and I couldn’t seem to put it down. I’ve started plenty of books that I had no trouble at all putting down or in the trash. This one I dragged all over the place.

It is undoubtably the most unusual novel I’ve ever read. That’s saying a lot, I can’t count the books I’ve read. The author, Stu Summers, well he’s also the protagonist who is an award winning New York Times best selling author. Follow that? Let me break it down.

Summer’s Love:

Hero ~ Stu Summers who is a New York Times Best Selling author who may or may not be a fake.

Lady looking for Love: A Stun gun salesperson who doesn’t trust guys.

I mean, who does that? Who writes a fictional novel and makes themselves the main character, the hero for Pete’s sake! He goes to such lengths within Summer’s Love as discussing his previous New York Times Bestsellers, which of course, don’t exist. Is this some dimwitted hoax or a brilliant marketing strategy?

While I don’t think the world is ready for a few hundred copy cats, this one was unique and quirky enough to put a smile on my face. As my husband would say, “That guy has some…”, I’ll let you fill in the blank.

The reason I call it a twofer. If you enjoy reading fun romance stories that have a tug on your heart, you’ll like this book. However, if you are an aspiring writer, this may be a perfect fit for you. Within the boy-meets-girl drama are instructions on writing a best selling novel. No kidding, I actually took some notes.

The one drawback for me is the annoying fact that Stu Summers can’t be found. Oh, I found the Lighthouse Publishing blurb for him, but other than that, not a trace. Is he real or has another author discovered a new marketing tool? I’ll leave that for you to investigate. Let me know what you find out, I’m as curious as you are.

This book makes my beach-take-along must for summer reading and I hope you will find it as enjoyable as I did.
