Max and Blake are complete opposites, yet completely the same.
Max is an 18 year old girl who takes care of her 1 year old brother, her father, and juggles her job at a library. She never had one for friends or boyfriends, her days consisting of Dylan or her job.
Blake is a 22 year old, who is in charge of "family business." Blake drowns himself in work never giving anyone the time of day.
But on one cold, late night, Blake is covering a shift for one of his friends at an ice cream shop. And on the same night, Max decides, that it's ice cream she is craving. What happens when these two cross paths?

@lilly2767 - Really good book, I love the relationship between Max and Blake. Every chapter has its own adventure with in, this book keeps me guessing, there were so many things I didn't expect! Perfect mix of romance and humor. Five stars
Tessa's love life is full of clichés. She fell for the boy next door, her brother's best friend, and her childhood crush. They all just happen to be the same guy- Levi Daniels. Tessa and Levi seem to be stuck in an endless loop of right person, wrong time scenarios where one of them is single when the other isn't.
One summer, that finally changes. Both Tessa and Levi are single, and the spark that's always been there seems to burn brighter than ever before as the two join their friends for another summer of fun at their coveted lake house. Things couldn't be better. Their star-crossed love seems to finally be morphing into a fairy tale, but is one night really all it takes for them to find their happily ever after?
You know what they say... If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Levi did the one thing he wasn't supposed to do. He fell for his best friend's sister- someone he would never be free of if anything bad ever happened. There was something about Tessa Rhodes that kept him coming back. She was his kryptonite, and no matter how hard he tried, he could never quite bury his feelings for her.
Then came the summer that changed everything. Levi finally decided to let his inhibitions go. Even if it didn't work out, he had to see what would happen. He told Tessa everything, baring his feelings, and leaving the ball in her court. One night would change their relationship forever, and an infuriating discovery the next morning would threaten to ruin them for good.
