Customer Reviews

A Very Promising First Book!

I enjoyed this book thoroughly, particularly the smoldering, sexy bad boy, Johnny. he's an ex-con who did the crime and has done the time, although it wasn't a particularly heinous crime or fair sentence. The town has it in for him though; only May, the heroine's feisty grandmother, believes in Johnny. Even Nicole wants nothing to do with him at first. But he grows on her, just like he will grow on you...I too find it hard to believe that this is the author's first book. She writes well and with assurance, and keeps the tension and suspense tight from the first page to the last. I look forward to Ms. Rosnau's next book!

Surprizingly Good!

Johnny, an ex-marine and ex-con, comes back to his hometown as a condition of his parole. He isn't happy to be there, and the town residents aren't happy to see him. When Johnny meets Nicole, and the locals start displaying their displeasure with Johnny, the book really heats up.I haven't read very many outstanding series books lately, so I was thrilled to run across Long Hot Summer. I would have liked to see more interaction between the hero and heroine, but overall this book was well-written and it held my interest.

A wonderful first book!

Kudos, Ms. Rosnau. I enjoyed this book from start to finish. The characterizations - particularly Johnny whom I loved! - the setting, the style, and the development of the romance (lots of sexual tension, lots of depth - again, excellent!) reminded me of my favorite author, Marilyn Pappano.This book read as if it were Ms. Rosnau's tenth - or twentieth - certainly not her first. I can't wait for her next book. I'm thrilled to have discovered her at the beginning of her career.
