Summer has always looked forward to spending her summers at her Aunt’s beach house with the Donovans. To her, summers at Aunt Sookie’s beach house was magical, especially getting to spend time with the Donovans – her best friend Rachel and Rachel’s brothers Nathaniel, and Drew. Here at Aunt Sookie’s beach house, they can be anyone and anything they dreamed. For Summer, she had always wished to become as pretty as Rachel and for her brothers to think of her as more than Rachel’s friend. For Nat and Drew, summers at Aunt Sookie’s beach house meant fun and escape, a place where they go to with their mom and sister for the summer, away from city life. They never thought this summer would be different. They never thought things would change as much as they did…and it all began with them falling for and loving Summer. A YA contemporary romance with an edge.
Falling for Summer (Book 2 of the Loving Summer Series/Book 1 of the Donovan Brothers Series) is NOW AVAILABLE on AMAZON!
PRAISE FOR THE LOVING SUMMER SERIES
5 out of 5 Stars – Loving Summer touched on issues like divorce, illness, and self-respect. Gow was able to guide her characters through tough situations without making it too heavy for the first book in the Loving Summer Series. It’s very possible that you’ll be reduced to tears while reading the passion in the characters’ words, actions, and motivations. There isn’t anything cookie-cutter or simple about Loving Summer. – Lovey Dovey Books
5 out of 5 Stars – This is hands down one of my favorite books that I’ve bought for my kindle, EVER.” – McKayla
DESCRIPTION
Love hits you when you least expect it, grabs you, sucks you in whole, and twists you around until you could hardly breathe. Love hurts like a sucker punch, that’s both glorious and beautiful. Falling for Summer was like that for me, every time. – Nat Donovan
The Donovan Brothers
Two brothers as gorgeous as they are dangerous.
Nat Donovan, the older more responsible brother with the passion of a starving man. Knows what he wants, but knows he can’t have it without giving up everything.
Drew Donovan, the really bad boy, the black sheep, the one who has a devil-may-care attitude, wants what he wants, but knows he would have to go through the ones he loves to have it.
Nat and Drew Donovan has known Summer Jones since they were kids. She had always been the girl next door who was best friends with their little sister Rachel and was cool enough to play with the guys. Now Summer is all grown up, gorgeous, and scorchingly sexy without even knowing it. Responsible older brother Nat, who had always tried to keep their friendship platonic, now can’t stop thinking of her and wanting more. Carefree Drew, who had always had a crush on Summer, but knew Summer’s heart was already taken, can only fall further for her. But no one had anticipated what would happen between the time the Donovan brothers fell for her and now. No one knew how hard they would fall.

Falling for Summer (Loving Summer Novel: Donovan Brothers) is Steamier (New Adult) - Releases Dec. 15 instead of Nov. 30!
There were several reasons for this change in release and one of them is that it is steamier than Loving Summer by a notch so it is definitely New Adult (Age 17 and up). This is because it's from Nat and Drew's POV, but with some of Summer's too. Nat is in college, and Drew is finishing high school with early admissions to college so there are some more mature themes in this book.
Falling for Summer continues where Loving Summer leaves off, too so in a sense, this is Book 2 of Loving Summer, but also the start of the Donovan Brothers Trilogy.
If you haven't already, go and add Falling for Summer on your shelf! Falling for Summer
Thank you for your continued support! You are the best readers and fans any author can ever hope for!

Change in Release Dates ANNOUNCEMENTS and UPCOMING PLANS – Falling for Summer (Loving Summer: Donovan Brothers) – To Be Released December 15, 2012
Hi Everyone,
In the airlines industry, sometimes a flight gets delayed or a flight gets canceled due to special circumstances. Well, in the ever changing book world, especially in indie publishing, that can apply, too.
As you know, and the fans/readers who have been following me on Facebook know where I do post things that are personal, I’d had a few family emergencies (father in hospital), and even a personal illness that came about afterwards, and then my editor’s family issues, that pushed writing to the back for a while. I set out some deadlines earlier for Falling for Summer and for Finding You Finding Me that are tentative, and it looks like if all goes well, the delay for these two books will only be a few weeks.
Another reason for the delay for Falling for Summer is that I am going to provide 2 versions of Falling for Summer, or rather, an excerpt. Falling for Summer because of its POV from the Donovan Brothers can be pretty steamy to the point of being adult, but in keeping with the series being YA-Mature and New Adult, parts of Falling for Summer is being rewritten.
Hope this gives some of you more choices, as I know I have a mixed audience reading my books, and the Loving Summer Series is for age 16 and up.
Falling for Summer will be for age 17 and up and classified as YA-Mature/New Adult still.
Finding You Finding Me (You & Me Trilogy) has been moved to December 26, 2012 as well.
Due to the same circumstances. Fortunately, what will release and has already released are the following, and I’m blessed these even got a chance to get released on time!!!
Just Released! Hope you’ll be able to get a copy of this final book in the Bitter Frost Series! This conclusion says so much about love and the ups and downs of it in real life. Although Bitter Frost is like a fairy tale, this series deals with real issues told in a way that will hopefully resonate with people going through some of the issues Breena, Kian, Logan, and Rose are going through.
DISCUSSION SHEETS and LEADERSHIP GROUPS and Group/Bookclub Materials for this Series will be available soon! We are also looking for Women and Teachers who would like to start their own self-esteem/leadership group locally for teens and women, using the Frost Series books.
FEVER (FADE #4) is the Final Book in the FADE Series – my dystopian thriller series set in the future. I’m really excited about this conclusion, and think it says a lot about hope for humanity and faith in love. Releases DECEMBER 3rd!

This Year is a Year Full of THANKS!
Hi Everyone,
Happy Thanksgiving from me and my team at theEDGEbooks.com.
It has been an amazing year of living life to the fullest.
I’ve experienced being diagnosed with a serious condition and having to spend time to overcome it, if it can be done. This condition is what Aunt Sookie in my fiction novel, Loving Summer, have so that book is based on some reality. And Now it is being offered for this week and next at only 99 cents!
It took months to reverse what I have, but through will power, the grace of God, and the support of friends and family; what can be a negative experience was turned into something inspiring. I am truly grateful for this, and thank God, and everyone who has been praying for me and supporting me for this.
Because of this miracle, I am able to be with my friends and family today. I am also able to continue writing and producing the book series many of you have come to love and demand from me!
I am truly grateful for your love and support, and can’t tell you how much it means to have you tell me how much you love the books and the characters or how these books have touched your life. No amount of words or gifts or objects can express what it means for an author like myself to hear that my efforts and sacrifices as an author has actually mean something.
With the deepest sincerely,
THANK YOU
