First a huge thanks to C.J Dugan for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!How should is start? I feel in love with Onslow boys when I read the first book in the series, I remember that I kept telling myself I’ll read just one last chapter…the last thing I knew I had finished the book and I was two hours away from the time I had to get up for work….it was totally worth it. Then I thought the sequel could never be as good as the first book…I was so wrong it was even better and we has the chance to know what was going on with the characters we learned to love in the first book. So of course when I had the chance to get an ARC for this book I jumped on it and I kept crossing my fingers I would get one…I’ve never been more excited than when I saw the email!In this one we discover Tammy, Amy’s shy and mousy friends turned into a fitness amazon (from what Amy says when she saw her again in the second book!) and Chris, our moody, bossy, brooding, control freak Onslow boy! The story starts with the Onslow gang deciding to celebrate the new millennia with some camping and a road trip. Tammy is not sure she want to go and be the third wheel and when she finally decide and go to meet the others at the Onslow Hotel they are gone….except for Chris. They embark on a funny and intense road trip to meet the others. I don’t wanna give away too much so let’s just say that C.J is still the master of funny and hot moments!I was surprised at how much I loved Chris at the end of this book. For Chris Henderson was the hot but moody bartender who bought the Onslow hotel with Sean. I always thought he was cool, collected, responsible and mostly anti-social toward girl but Tammy seems to bring out a totally different side of him. Who knew that he could be so devious and charming! And I melted at how he was sweet and comforting with Tammy when she needed it. But the guy can be hot…as Tammy said ‘’ Loving Chris Henderson would be wrong. Diabolically disastrous. I mean, what is there about him to love? He’s moody, bossy, brooding, a control freak, and that’s on a good day … but there was one achingly obvious fact that haunted my every thought, every minute of every day …He sure could kiss.As for Tammy she did a lot of growing up in this book. She’s this beautiful, college student/ personal trainer, but she always feels like she doesn’t belong. Sometimes she’s shy, sometimes confident…but ok hanging out with Chris will do that to a girl!In this one we have the chance to connect deeper with all the other characters. In the other books we only got glimpse of our favorite couples but they are an important part of this book. Just have to say that C.J had me on the edge of my seat most of the book while I was trying to figure out what was wrong with Toby!That One Summer is a funny, captivating and an enticing read full of friendship, steamy romance, and hilarious adventures that will have you hookedlike the first two books. If you never read a book in this series what are you waiting for? Get up, pick one and start reading!
