Even without seeing his face, Amanda can't help but wonder if he's the one for her. When she finally come face to face with the man behind the microphone, Amanda finds that summer just got a whole lot hotter in Last Chance, South Carolina.I thoroughly enjoyed reading this short story.

I give this particular short story an A!Full Disclosure: 'Last Chance Summer: A Short Story' by Hope Ramsay read and reviewed by Mareena McGirr, an avid reader and book reviewer from Albany, New York.
