Description



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.

The Summer Camp Experience

Everyone should have a summer sleepaway camp experience. In “Summer Husband” by Amy Lorowitz, Lori Kramer, and her girls, Zelda and Hazel, have their first one together at Camp Woodland. Sleepaway camp lasts for two months. Lori is part of the senior staff, a Division Leader, in charge of 48 ten-year old girl campers, the Cubs, and their counselors. Campers participate in organized activities and achieve various accomplishments. Ted Mooney is a senior staff member on the boys side and coaches the camp’s soccer program. He and Lori run into each other behind the laundry hut while each sneaks smoking a forbidden cigarette after the campers go to bed. Ted helps Lori figure out camp life and supports her. Unfortunately the Camp Director, Jack, is a bully and Lori becomes his scapegoat. When she happens to be on the right place at the right time to save a child life, things start to go off the rails. I really enjoyed this book. Ms. Lorowitz has done a good job of depicting the flavor and essence of camp life. I like the vivid description of Woodland Camp and the activities of the campers, without being bogged down in minutiae. The relationships that developed among the women were healthy and supportive, no backstabbing or cattiness. It was inspiring to see how Lori learned how to stand up for herself and her campers, that leads up to her standing up for herself in her marriage. I wanted the story to continue further than it did to see Lori’s next steps in her life. I hope Ms. Lorowitz writes these next steps in another book. I would recommend this book to readers who like romance and women being true to themselves. I wish to thank She Writes Press for the complimentary eARC of this book and for selecting me to review it on NetGalley. All opinions are my own. #SummerHusband #SheWritesPress #NetGalley #Romance #SummerCamp #StrongWomen
