In "Summer Rebound," main character Chloe desperately needed to let off some steam after a disastrous breakup with personal trainer Finn, so she decided to let her best friend Charlotte loose on her dating app and surprise her with her next date. Charlotte chose tattooed bad boy Dune: treasurer of the local motorcycle club, accountant, and lover of spreadsheets and to-do lists. Dune was very alpha but also surprisingly sweet at times, but his attachment to his cat, Coco, was a bit much for Chloe to handle. That wasn't the only red flag in the relationship, but Chloe was determined to step outside her comfort zone and try to make things with Dune work.
This story was so funny, especially Chloe's inner monologue and efforts to find a romance novel to guide her through her relationship with Dune. There was also a good amount of character growth as Chloe started to figure out what she really wants from a relationship. She's getting much better at standing up for herself and recognizing that her needs and desires are just as important as her partner's. Finally, I continued to enjoy the dynamic between Chloe and her crush-turned-roommate, Austin. I'm not giving up hope of a future relationship between the two of them, no matter how perfect his girlfriend Lucy may seem.
Overall, I enjoyed "Summer Rebound" even more than the first installment of this series and highly recommend it for fans of chick lit and romantic comedy. I'm excited to find out what happens in episode #3!

About "Summer Rebound"
Summer is for throwing caution to the wind, and Dune’s a bad boy that lives for danger.
Colorado is heating up, much like my newly re-discovered libido, and I’m hoping like hell that my new blind date’s hot, too. Fate (and my bestie) truly deliver a doozy:
He rides motorcycles.
His tattoos are insanely hot.
The mystery of his life is all but unsolvable.
This good girl is about to get a little bit bolder in search of truth, justice, and a rebellious phase.
