About this ebook
Scenic designer Carly Foster just started her last summer theatre job, and at the ripe old age of twenty-nine, she promised herself it would be a working vacation in the mountains of New Mexico - with no romance allowed. She’s finished with the “drama trauma” of theatre romance: her love life has never been beyond Act One because she can’t stay away from tortured artists. Not this time.
But luck is so not on her side: she’s stuck in a touristy ghost town with a charming bodyguard who’s flirting with her just to relieve his own boredom: Asher Day, the producer’s brother recently returned from New York City with an armload of empty canvasses and a vanload of attitude. A sexy painter who won’t talk about his past? So typical. But Carly is determined not to experience a repeat of her past relationships. If only Asher could live up to his wounded artist persona, she could kick him to the curb and stick by her goal to stay away from the type of guy who stomps on her spirit.
But the magnetic pull she feels from Asher is irresistible: he has inner strength and compassion, not to mention a heart-melting wink and kisses that leave her sleepless. If Carly can’t keep the drama in the theatre and out of her personal life, not only will she have bags under her eyes, but her heart will never survive the summer.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoyed Summer Promises by Laura Simcox. Set in old ghost town that is being converted to theater, Simcox focuses on the drama behind the show with an insider's knowledge. Set designer Carly has her work cut out for her between restoring the old theater, the psycho sherriff and her no summer romance policy. The action sequences kept me on the edge of my seat and I absolutly adored the secondary character Marilyn and how her outspokenness and outlandishness helped propell the primary romance between Carly and Asher. I hope Simcox will let us return to Ruby Springs and peek in on how the characters fared and if any new romances form at the theater.
