Summer in the Spotlight is book 3 in the Prince Edward Island Shores series, by Liz Johnson. Although it works to read as a stand-alone, I felt it would have been best to start with book 1. Even though I had read book 2, at times I was missing bits of backstory.

This book features Levi Ross, the youngest brother in the Ross family. The previous two books feature other family members. Their stories carry on in this one as secondary characters.

I’m not sure if it was just me and the things going on in my life right now, but it took me a long time to get through this book. Normally I like to linger on details, but I found it hard to make sense of them, so I skimmed. Even at that, it wasn’t until the last few chapters where Levi and Kelsey’s romance finally picked up, that the story carried me better. But the wedding at the end featured characters from previous books in the series. Somewhat distracting from the main story.

You might like this book if you are drawn to a painfully shy character matched with an accomplished extrovert. And again, I’d recommend reading the series in order.

My thanks to Revell for sending me this paperback at my request.
