Barefoot Summer Blog Tour

Barefoot Summer by Denise Hunter

About The Book:
Madison's heart has been closed for years. But one summer can change everything. In the years since her twin brother's tragic drowning, Madison has struggled with her ability to trust God - or anyone else, for that matter. It was her brother's dream to win the annual River Sail Regatta in their small harbor town of Chapel Springs, Indiana. And Madison's determined to honor his legacy by making his dream her own. Maybe then she can finally find closure. But learning to sail means learning to swim. And her instructor is Beckett O'Reilly, a man who already has two strikes against him in Madison's eyes. Being on the water terrifies Madison. But Beckett's calming presence and unwavering confidence eases her fear. And as much as she'd like to deny it, the chemistry between them is electrifying. As her feelings for him grow, a fledgling faith begins to take root in her soul, as well. With Beckett, Madison feels alive for the first time in years - carefree and confident she can win the regatta, maybe even find love. But Beckett harbors a secret that will test the limits of their love and the depth of Madison's faith. Will their love survive summer's challenge? And will achieving her brother's dream give Madison the peace she desperately seeks?

My Thoughts:
I've read this author before, and just like always, she does not disappoint. This is a great love story, but also a story about courage, and moving on, and getting over the hurdles in life. I love the character of Beckett. A good male lead is sometimes hard to find in love stories, but he is great! A perfect summer read!

About The Author:
Denise lives in Indiana with her husband Kevin and their three sons. In 1996, Denise began her first book, a Christian romance novel, writing while her children napped. Two years later it was published, and she's been writing ever since. Her books often contain a strong romantic element, and her husband Kevin says he provides all her romantic material, but Denise insists a good imagination helps too!
