Summer Husband - by Amy Lorowitz (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A compelling blend of sexy and nostalgic, this summer camp romance follows thirty-nine-year-old mom Lori Kramer as she finds out you're never too old to learn the life lessons--or experience the romances--that sleepaway camp has to offer.

Is thirty-nine too old to get your first sleepaway camp kiss?

Lori Kramer, a stay-at-home mom, would go to any length to give her two daughters the summer experience of their lives--even getting a job at their camp and tagging along with them.

At Camp Woodlands, Lori finds herself overseeing the chaos of four bunks filled with rambunctious kids and their counselors, not to mention having to outwit her boss and outrun a bear--and that's just during the first half of the summer! But those escapades are child's play compared to her growing friendship and attraction to Teddy, the camp's British soccer coach. Their clandestine meetings late at night behind the laundry shack, breaking the no-smoking rule, soon turn hot and steamy like a lazy August afternoon.

Camp may be for kids, but Lori's the one having the most fun. She never imagined that stepping outside of her conventional, underappreciated, New York City existence would turn her world upside down and change her life forever.
