A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Lisa
Summer Quinn is a young woman with a lot going on in her life. She is dealing with some pretty tough issues. She is still coming to terms with the loss of her father 4 years ago. A father who raised her alone after her mother left them when Summer was a baby. Now her mother has returned after all these years, just showing up on her doorstep. Her boyfriend wants to come see her because he has "something to tell her", and it is starting to look like her best friend, Ian, just might be in love with her.
Summer’s Road is a heart-warming story, a story of love and loss and also a story of forgiveness and moving forward. It kept me reading all day and night, stopping only to eat and shower. This novel is full of emotion. It is one I will not soon forget. Kelly Moran is one of the most talented authors to come along. I look forward to her next novel.
When I started reading Summer's Road by Kelly Moran, I thought I would read a few chapters and then come back to it later that evening. I did not know I would become so engrossed in the novel, that it would not be possible for me to do that. What I also did not know is that because of this, I would end up sitting on my bed till 1:30 am reading until the very last chapter.
It’s been a long time since I have done that with any book. Sure, I have read some that kept me up nights saying “just once more chapter”, but reading a complete novel in less than 10 hours? Maybe once. Maybe.

Book Blurb for Summer's Road
After her father’s death, Summer Quinn realizes just how alone she feels in the world. With no family to fill her life now, she finds comfort among friends, but yearns for true love, contentment, and family. When her boyfriend, Matt, suggests they raise their relationship to a higher level, Summer jumps at the chance to get everything she’s always wanted. Only she doesn’t expect the heat arising between her and her best friend, Ian--a man who never seems to settle down. A man the complete opposite of what she’s looking for. But when her estranged mother reappears after twenty-eight years, Summer’s world completely flips upside down. As secrets from her family’s past and Ian’s true feelings for her emerge, Summer’s now faced with choices she’s not sure she can make. The rest of her life’s happiness hinges on her finally confronting a past she’d rather deny and legitimately opening her heart to love, even if it’s not where she expected to find it. Tag Line: "When you're talking about family, friendship, and love...there's bound to be a few bumps along the way."
