Elizabeth hates the summer in the Hamptons. She’s lived there her whole life, but every June, her hometown is inundated with rich Manhattanites who party all day and disappear in September. But Lizzy needs to help her parent bakery.

Will is everything Lizzy isn’t. Aloof, arrogant, and well, rich. He knows Lizzy is wrong for him, but he can’t stop thinking about her.

Can the two figure out what the other wants, or is it going to be a summer neither of them forgets for the wrong reason?


This is a fun and angsty romance story with nods to Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice that hooked me right from the start. The relationship between Will and Lizzy was so much fun and so full of some fabulous banter. I think great banter is my favorite part of the enemies to lover’s trope and that was most definitely the case with this book. This one is perfect for a lazy and relaxing summer day of reading. It was just so lighthearted and fun. Lizzy’s family was fabulous. I couldn’t imagine having a family like that, but it was so heartwarming to read how fantastic they all were with each other. The writing was well done and lighthearted and evoked so many emotions when I was reading.

This is book two in the For the Love of Austen series, but I had no idea that was the case until I was writing this review, and I don’t feel like I missed anything not having read it.
