A Summer Sentence

By Carolynn Carey

Book Overview

Megan Marsh was just passing through McCray County, Tennessee, on her way to a career in Chicago, but after a run-in with an overzealous deputy involving a bee, a slap, a speeding ticket, and a heap of misunderstanding, she finds herself suddenly immersed in small town life serving a summer sentence. The man responsible for her community service is the devastatingly handsome sheriff, Daniel McCray. From the moment they meet, something sparkles in each of them. Unfortunately, Daniel's roots are firmly entrenched in rural McCray County and the last thing he needs is to feel an overwhelming attraction for a city girl who's just passing through. But for some reason, every time they meet the attraction grows. Much to Megan's surprise, she revels in the joys of small town society, but she can't forget her vow to become an inner city teacher. She wants to teach the underprivileged. However, the more she learns about McCray County and Daniel, the more she believes her future lies there. Can the rural sheriff and the city socialite learn to accept love even when their dreams keep pushing them apart?

A Sweet Romance

Small town life described with authentic flavor, likeable characters, and a good deal of fine humor make this chaste love story suitable for readers of all ages. Easy to read and relatively short, this hardcover book would make a great gift for anyone, but perhaps especially for a young reader who is ready to discover the romance genre.

Easy reading.....good story of relaxed living in rural Tennessee

Great descriptive novel of summer time in rural Tennesee. Ms. Carey pictures the true life of a part of America where "everyone know everyone" and where most of the local characters are related. Her humor is perfect. This is a warm love story of two entirely different personalities who compliment each other.
