Callie Williams is determined to rebuild her life after almost losing her home to arson and the man she loved to fear. But will she truly be able to forgive the wrongs of the past?

Callie Williams is determined to rebuild her life. When The Summer Breeze Bed & Breakfast, her beloved business, and the place she calls home, is almost destroyed by arson, she has no choice but to embark on another major renovation.

And when Nick Larrington, the only man she’ll ever truly love, reenters her life, she knows that her only choice is to open her heart to him once and for all.

There are new friends to be made and old foes to confront in the third book of this heartwarming series. Guests and the seasons keep changing, but your favorite characters will all be back. Join Callie as she continues her unsuccessful attempts to not meddle in her guest's lives, eats even more mouthwatering food, and tries to keep her head on straight when Nick is around.

I have read the first three books in this series and I have to say I am impressed. The plot is different than so many stories. There are new characters coming in throughout the books and they each add something different to the storyline. The descriptors used by the author are compelling and draw you into the stories. One of the things that most impresses me is the way intimacy is presented. There are hints of intimacy, but no raw sexual content. Thank you, Shail Rajan, for writing clean romance novels.

Yet another winner from a great author!

Loved these characters who I enjoyed in the first two books. Could not put this down!! Already picturing the next storylines lol. Obviously I am just better at reading one of my favorite authors than at writing reviews. Needed to share that if you are looking for a new series, start with this one. You won't be disappointed. Kudos to you Ms. Raman from this Northern NY gal.

The Summer Breeze

This is a clean beautiful romance story. This is a fantastic story of new beginnings, hopes,and dreams. What happens is your dreams are a reality, friendship developed into an extension of your real family that's the best of both worlds. This story draws you into something beautiful, cozy, familiar and adventurous, however the food is out of this world, I can almost smell and taste them. I have to admit I was inspired and did little bit of baking. This book and characters are going to your next read. I highly recommend it. Enjoy

Life Changes

This is another perfectly written, easy-to-read book in the Summer Breeze series. The same wonderful characters are in this book along with some new interesting ones. This story has a lot of new construction taking place in Seneca Springs, which welcomes the new characters. This book has love, adventure, crime & second chances. Please enjoy!

Great series

I loved how the series started off with Callie breaking up and moving back home and just having her family. To her buying the bed and breakfast and really creating her own new family. It was a wonderful series. Highly recommend

Fond Memories

Such a sweet and charming story. Callie, Nick, and the entire group of friends, family, guests, and community come together in this 3rd book of the series. New and exciting changes are coming to the bed and breakfast, the countrydide, and town. Will Callie be able to forgive certain people from her past when they come back into her life, no matter how briefly or possibly longer? What will the future look like for the bed and breakfast? The perfect third book in the series.

The Summer Breeze

This 3 book series was enchanting! The growth of the characters was amazing. It truly drew me in and left me wanting more. Hopefully there be future books concentrating on Alexis in Paris and Lelia with her food truck or the growing of TBE babies.

Book 3 of the Summer Breeze series finds Callie and company facing the past to make way for the future.
The magic of The Summer Breeze is in the connections and safety each employee, guest, and friend finds within its walls. Author Shail Rajan casts a spell over her readers, drawing them once more into a world of comfort, food, redemption, and home. The story is charming and fast-paced, with plenty of humor and tension to keep the characters on their toes. From the B&B's grand reopening to a surprise wedding; from the appearance of a mysterious new staff member to a revolving door of familiar faces, The Summer Breeze: Flowers & Forgiveness embraces Callie's mantra of "Rebuild, Rebrand, Renew," and leaves the reader filled, like Callie's coffee mug, with "Gratitude" for time well-spent.

I was a bit disappointed at the ending. I wanted to read about moving into the new house, Callie and Nica's babies, and more about her family. Want to read about finishing the hospital and housing projects as well. We need another book to finish the series...

Summer Breeze Book 3

This was a very good book! I thoroughly enjoyed it. A book about growth and forgiveness. I’ve read all three books in this series in less than 2 weeks.
