Customer Reviews

HOT AND SIZZLING!!!

This was a fantastic book and it was really great. The love scenes were so hot I could barely contain myself. I've read two other books from this author and her previous work is definitely worth looking into. I was a little uneasy about reading the book because it had been a while since reading her books but I know she's a great author.

EXCELLENT!!!!!!

I have to admit at first I was not real sure about this book it had not gotten very good reviews. But I guess I really need to learn to not trust reviews and go with my insticts about her books a little more because this one was great. She blends elements that I really love to read in books, and does it well. I am 25 years old so I am not wild about older men but Austin was one sexy man and Cassie was a terrific woman. After A Day In April I didn't think it could get any better. But as usual I was wrong. Buy it you won't be disappointed.

Terrific romance

In 1990 Jasmine, Louisiana, her family and friends gather to celebrate Cassie Wortham's eighteenth birthday. Her boy friend (at least in his mind), Lester Sullivan proposes, but Cassie rejects his offer. Lester refuses to accept her no. Her father's best friend thirty-two years old Austin McGuire also attends the event. Cassie and Austin walk together on the beach when she trips. Before either knows what happened, they make love. Austin feels guilty while Cassie feels her love for him has been betrayed. Nine years later, Cassie returns to her hometown for the first time in five years accompanied by her son Tyler. Cassie has come out of hiding in women's shelters because her violent spouse Lester is in jail. Cassie married Lester to hide the fact she was pregnant with Austin's child. However, her return soon proves to not be safe for herself or her family. Lester has vowed to never let Cassie go. Her deeply religious parents believe Lester can be reformed, forcing Cassie to turn to Austin, the only man she ever loved, for the safety of her child. Readers hold Mary Lynn Baxter in high esteem for her tense romantic suspense tales. ONE SUMMER EVENING is a torrid novel that combines a well-designed relationship drama within the elements of intrigue. The story line is exciting, but it is the characters that make this into must reading for sub-genre fans.Harriet Klausner
