Review: Summer in Kentbury by Claudia Burgoa

When life is too much, and you can’t hack it, what do you do?

Go back home, right?

It’s just the logical thing to do.

At a young age, I learned that Kentbury is kind of magical—and great at maple syrup.

I packed my things, drove to my parent’s house and …

I found Sinclair McFolley— irresistibly brooding, and dangerously handsome.

He and his siblings took possession of my childhood home.

What the f. . . obviously it’s a mistake.

It wasn’t.

So now my plans are to either go back home or stay in Kentbury helping the McFolleys with their summer camp.

It’s all fun and games until feelings start getting in the way.

Challenges turn into opportunities.

And suddenly the summer fling I never planned on might become the romance of a lifetime.

Maybe Kentbury isn’t just a place to escape to—it’s where I was meant to find myself all along.


This one is short and sweet, a slow burn with some spice. Lavender’s ex is trying to steal her company, so she decides to relax at the lake house where she grew up, but she arrives to find strangers own the home. Turns out, her parents sold the place and forgot to mention it. The new owners are lovely but it’s their grumpy brother who makes the biggest impression and the two become fast friends. He leaves early, rushing back to Boston without warning to attend to business, but they find plenty of time to talk and text and continue getting to know one another.

Sinclair soon realizes that Lavender is something special and decides to follow his heart for the first time in his life. Their story is a quick read with lots of tension and small-town quirks and I loved every minute of it. This was my first book in the series but won’t be the last. I’d like to thank the author and The Author Agency for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
