Cherry Red Summer

Emely and Elyas, Book 1

By: Carina Bartsch, Erik J. Macki - translator

Narrated by: Amy McFadden

No girl ever forgets her first love….

No one knows that better than Emely Winter. It's been seven years since she last saw the man with the turquoise eyes, Elyas Schwarz - the embodiment of everything mothers warn their daughters about.

Good-looking, charming, and with a hint of arrogance, Elyas is back in Emely's life and driving her crazy. She hates him from the bottom of her heart, but, even so, she can't deny her growing attraction. Thinking it's high time to put on the brakes, Emely turns her attention to Luca, the intriguing new man she's only ever met online. With two men pulling her in different directions, Emely must decide which of them is showing her his true self. After all the work she's done to learn to trust again, will Emely's efforts be for nothing?

loved it

great book. I really did enjoy this book. I do look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.

Not my favorite

I did not like the female lead at all. She was just mean. The story was unfinished but the continuation is obvious. This book needed serious editing. I will not read the follow up because, frankly I don’t care what happens to the characters.

What just happened?

This is just a bunch of inner dialogue that my anxiety rise. there was no real plot . The FMC is kind of mean. And in what world do 23 year olds only kiss on the cheek.
