DESCRIPTION:Like reading romance? Join the library for our summer pop-up book club featuring romance reads and craft time! Enjoy light discussion and crafts over your beverage of choice.

That’s what Alice’s grandmother says\, and it’s true. Alice spent just one summer there at a cottage with Nan when she was seventeen—it’s where she took that photo\, the one of three grinning teenagers in a yellow speedboat\, the image that changed her life. \nNow Alice lives behind a lens. As a photographer\, she’s most comfortable on the sidelines\, letting other people shine. Lately though\, she’s been itching for something more\, and when Nan falls and breaks her hip\, Alice comes up with a plan for them both: another summer in that magical place\, Barry’s Bay. But as soon as they settle in\, their peace is disrupted by the roar of a familiar yellow boat\, and the man driving it. \nCharlie Florek was nineteen when Alice took his photo from afar. Now he’s all grown up—a shameless flirt\, who manages to make Nan laugh and Alice long to be seventeen again\, when life was simpler\, when taking pictures was just for fun. Sun-slanted days and warm nights out on the lake with Charlie are a balm for Alice’s soul\, but when she looks up and sees his piercing green gaze directly on her\, she begins to worry for her heart. \nBecause Alice sees people—that’s why she is so good at what she does—but she’s never met someone who looks and sees her right back.

But when life delivered blow after devastating blow\, Yasmen and Josiah Wade found that love alone couldn’t solve or save everything. \nIt couldn’t save their marriage. \nYasmen wasn’t prepared for how her life fell apart\, but she’s is finally starting to find joy again. She and Josiah have found a new rhythm\, co-parenting their two kids and running a thriving business together. Yet like magnets\, they’re always drawn back to each other\, and now they’re beginning to wonder if they’re truly ready to let go of everything they once had. \nSoon\, one stolen kiss leads to another…and then more. It’s hot. It’s illicit. It’s all good–until old wounds reopen. Is it too late for them to find forever? Or could they even be better\, the second time around?

SUMMARY:MatchMakers Book Club: Summer Romance
DESCRIPTION:Like reading romance? Join the library for our summer pop-up book club featuring romance reads and craft time! Enjoy light discussion and crafts over your beverage of choice. Bring a project you’ve been working on\, mending\, or peruse idea books from the library and coloring pages. \nABOUT THE BOOK – Summer Romance by Annabel Monaghan \nBenefits of a summer romance: it’s always fun\, always brief\, and no one gets their heart broken. \nThere aren’t enough labeled glass containers to contain the mess that is Ali Morris’s life. Her mom died two years ago\, then her husband left\, and she hasn’t worn pants with a zipper in longer than she cares to remember. She’s a professional organizer whose pantry is a disgrace. \nNo one is more surprised than Ali when the first time she takes off her wedding ring and puts on pants with hardware—overalls count\, right?—she meets someone. Or rather\, her dog claims a man for her in the same way he claimed his favorite of her three children: by peeing on him. Ethan smiles at Ali like her pants are just right—like he likes what he sees. The last thing Ali needs is to make her life messier\, but there’s no harm in a little Summer Romance. Is there?
