Beach books and classic summer novels serve different purposes, and I love both for their unique qualities. Beach reads, such as 'People We Meet on Vacation' by Emily Henry or 'Malibu Rising' by Taylor Jenkins Reid, are designed to be devoured quickly. They often feature vibrant settings, fast-paced plots, and relatable characters. These books are like a summer fling—exciting and fleeting. Classic summer novels, like 'A Room with a View' by E.M. Forster or 'The Sun Also Rises' by Hemingway, offer a richer, more contemplative experience. They explore timeless themes of love, loss, and self-discovery, often against the backdrop of summer’s fleeting beauty.

While beach reads provide instant gratification, classics leave a lasting impression. I find myself revisiting passages from 'The Awakening' by Kate Chopin or 'Tender Is the Night' by Fitzgerald long after summer ends. Beach books are my go-to for pure entertainment, but classics are the ones that linger in my mind, offering new insights with each read. Both have their place in my summer reading list, depending on whether I’m in the mood for escapism or depth.

When I think of beach reads, I imagine books that are breezy and uplifting, like 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' by Jenny Han or 'the hotel nantucket' by Elin Hilderbrand. These stories are perfect for soaking up the sun, with their feel-good vibes and low-stakes drama. They’re the literary equivalent of a pop song—catchy and fun. Classic summer novels, however, often have a melancholic undertone, even when set in the brightest season. Books like 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' or 'The Garden Party' by Katherine Mansfield use summer as a contrast to explore darker human emotions.

I appreciate both genres, but they cater to different moods. Beach reads are my comfort food, while classics are like a gourmet meal—sometimes challenging but deeply rewarding. For a truly balanced summer, I mix both, starting with something light and ending with a classic to ponder as the sun sets.

I've always been drawn to beach reads because they are light, fun, and perfect for lazy afternoons by the shore. Books like 'Beach Read' by Emily Henry or 'The Unhoneymooners' by Christina Lauren are packed with humor and romance, making them easy to pick up and hard to put down. They don’t demand much from the reader, just a willingness to enjoy the ride. Classic summer novels, on the other hand, like 'The Great Gatsby' or 'To the Lighthouse,' often carry deeper themes and more complex prose. They’re beautiful but require a bit more focus, which isn’t always what I want when I’m relaxing under the sun. Beach reads are like a cool drink—refreshing and immediate, while classics are more like a fine wine, best savored slowly.

Tasting Summer
Tasting Summer
“You.” I snapped my head up. A naked man marched into the kitchen. Heat rushed to my face. The man draped in tattoos and bronze skin glared at me. “What are you doing here?” I squeaked. “I should be the one asking you that.” He closed the gap between us, and his body slammed against mine, pinning me against the door. His hand wrapped around my neck. I dug my nails into his flesh but he didn’t flinch. “You’re with the Red Claw pack aren’t you?” He sneered and tightened his hold. “Screw…you,” I rasped. “Ezra,” Dad barked. “What?” “Put her down. She’s my daughter.” His hold loosened and I dropped to the floor. I held my neck and glared at him. “You have an eighteen-year-old daughter?” Alpha Ezra asked. Dad shrugged, “Twenty, but yes.” Summer is on the run from her former Alpha, and seeks refuge with her estranged Father. She hides a secret that could get her killed so the one person she must stay away from is the one she's drawn to the most. Alpha Ezra is sort of her Dad's best friend and logically off-limits but soon the lines between them blur and before they know it the desire is too hot to put out. Summer's past catches up with her and the only option is to cheat fate or repeat history. Ezra and Summer must work together or risk being ripped apart.
