For this blog tour, we're looking at . For this blog tour, we're looking at The Summer Swap by Sarah Morgan.

First, the review I posted to the book sites (BookHype.com / BookBub.com / TheStoryGraph.com / Goodreads.com):

Slow, Character Driven Coastal Tale Featuring Flawed Yet Understandable Characters. Yes, to an extent if you've read one Sarah Morgan non-Christmas tale, you've read every Sarah Morgan non-Christmas tale. (And her Christmas tales are simply a variant on the non-Christmas ones, featuring some extra Christmas emphasis of some form.) This noted, what Sarah Morgan does, she does solidly and has clearly built a fan base for a reason, and this is yet another example of why her formula works so well.

Here, yet again, we get three generations of female leads, with the guys mostly playing romantic foils of some form or another, and each of our female leads has her own dramas and insecurities and, yes, mistakes. Of course, in typical Sarah Morgan fashion... well, let's not give away her endings in this review, shall we? Let's instead say that the Hallmarkie type crowd will generally enjoy these books, even though the Sarah Morgan formula is at least *slightly* different than that one.

Overall a solid tale solidly written, and a perfectly fine, inoffensive, casual "summer" / "beach" read (that, to be clear, can truly be enjoyed any time). Very much recommended.

All around her were sand dunes and the ocean stre

Kay Bratt Goes "North Ga Dark". Ok, so what the hell do you mean by "North Ga Dark", Sexton? Well, growing up even "in the country" in North Ga, specifically the Atlanta exurbs (then, now northern suburbs), even on a pitch black, moonless night... you still had the glow of Atlanta and its suburbs over the horizon. Thus, even at nature's abs
