Summer of Love

By: Lily Easton

Narrated by: Ciaran Saward

Oliver is Declan’s type on paper. But what about off-screen?

For boxer Declan King, his performance on the UK’s #1 reality show, Summer of Love, will be the hardest of his life. To win, he must convince five million viewers he’s looking for the right girl. In reality, Declan is rapidly falling for the wrong guy.

Oliver Wright, a ballet dancer, needs to win the show and prize money to get his ex-girlfriend back. But when his and Declan’s on-screen bromance leads to an off-screen kiss, they can no longer deny their attraction to one another.

With meddling producers, fame-hungry co-stars, and the millions of viewers watching their every move, they must decide what they are willing to give up to live in the public eye, even if it means each other.

Fantastic Narrator and Solid Insight into Reality Tv!!

Not sure about others, but my experience with this piece was extremely entertaining!! A solid freshman effort from the author, as there is a massive cast of supporting characters that still manage to read genuinely and as their own people. The author clearly did research into the behind the scenes of reality tv as, to my layman’s knowledge, many elements, like the several reshoots of just one scene to get the right “emotion”, ring very true. And the narrator is phenomenal as always. This is my second piece from him and his fluid baritone and articulation never cease to transport one right into the story!
