Summer Romance

Bloomsbury presents Summer Romance by Annabel Monaghan, read by Kristen DiMercurio.


Summer Romance brims with heart, wit, and longing the signature ingredients of my favourite beach reads. Anything Annabel writes, I'm reading it' Carley Fortune


Benefits of a summer romance: it's always fun, always brief, and no one gets their heart broken.


There aren't enough labeled glass containers to contain the mess that is Ali Morris's life. Her mum died two years ago, then her husband left, and she hasn't worn pants with a zipper in longer than she cares to remember. She's a professional organiser whose pantry is a disgrace.


No one is more surprised than Ali when the first time she takes off her wedding ring and puts on pants with hardware overalls count, right? she meets someone. Or rather, her dog claims a man for her in the same way he claimed his favourite of her three children: by peeing on him. Ethan smiles at Ali like her pants are just right like he likes what he sees. The last thing Ali needs is to make her life messier, but there's no harm in a little summer romance. Is there?


The heart-tugging and hilarious new book from the bestselling author of Same Time Next Summer and Nora Goes Off Script.
