Ella Skye is a journalist who wakes up in a hospital with no recollection of her recent past, including the unborn baby she was carrying and lost during a tragic car accident. Resolved to understand the reasons behind her selective amnesia, Ella embarks on a journey through her past and events leading up to the fatal accident.

Last Summer is my first novel by Kerry Lonsdale, and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. I wasn't sure about it going in. I felt the premise of the book was a bit over the top, and honestly, I was getting tired of this book genre. Much to my surprise, this book turned out to be a great page-turner that I just couldn't put it down. I liked the characters, and I felt the dialogue was dynamic and well-paced. The plot was intriguing and full of twists and turns. I don't want to give too much away as this book has an ending you won't see coming.

I would like to thank Lake Union Publishing and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of this book. A new stand along with all the twists, turns and a complicated love triangle. Ella wakes up in a hospital and she can't remember the past few months. She decides to revisit an old interview in the hopes it will trigger her memory but instead it just brings up more unanswered questions about what really happened that summer. Her journey to recover her memory will have you up all night turning the pages and you won't see this ending coming. I absolutely loved this book!

This book was wild! I don't know what I can say that won't give away major plot points, but I am overthrown with emotions. I felt bad for Ella through the whole book and at the end- that was thrown out the window! I still loved this book though.... It was really, really good.

I received an Advance Reader Copy through NetGalley.

All I can say is wow! This story is a true rollercoaster with so many twists turns. I love how the writing keeps the reader in the dark just as much as the main character, Ella. I thought I had it figured out with careful reading, but I was shocked by the ending.

Coming off a wildly successful series, Kerry Lonsdale is back with her first stand-alone since the conclusion of the Everything series and she is back with a vengeance!

When Ella wakes up in the emergency room following a car accident and having suffered a miscarriage with absolutely no memories of ever being pregnant, she is desperate to piece together the gaps in her mind, but nothing is as it seems - not her marriage, her friendships and her career - including a piece on a famous outdoorsman she's been profiling. Strap yourself in for a fun (and sexy!) thrill ride as we go along with Ella as she tries to regain her memories and her sense of self!

Last Summer will have you gasping and wondering, what exactly happened last summer...and the answers may shock you. And just when you think you may have figured it out, be prepared for another shock. Last Summer is pure delightful summer fun and a wonderful thrill ride.

Thank you to Lake Union & Little Bird Publicity for an advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

This book is just pure soap opera.

If you can embrace that? It's an enjoyable read. I struggled to suspend my disbelief throughout, and yet it didn't really matter that much. Much like watching shows full of as many tropes of this, you can still find something enjoyable while acknowledging how utterly ridiculous it is.

Did I guess pretty much every twist way, way in advance? Yes. (The final one? NO. That one caught me off guard). Did I make notes of the percentage of the way through the book I was and my prediction at the time because I was so certain at 30%, 50% and 70% of what was going to be revealed in the final few chapters? Yes. Did it matter? Undecided, but at worst - not much.

Did the final twist completely change the tone of the book? God, yes.

Explosive Until Almost Literally The Last Word. This is yet another tale where Kerry Lonsdale superbly plays with memory to tell a truly compelling story, using different memory issues than she did in her Everything series but writing at least as well as that excellent work. If this is your first Lonsdale book, it is a great introduction to her general style and her ability to craft and tell a story that will draw you in and have you literally not wanting to put the book down. Just about the only quibble that can be openly discussed without verging close to, if not directly into, spoiler territory is that the cover, while beautiful in its own right, doesn't seem to have anything to do with the story at all.

I really liked this book, and it was a great "chick lit" beach read! I've read all of Kerry Lonsdale's books and enjoyed them, and this was no exception. The characters were well drawn and interesting, and as usual, her writing is very good. She writes books that you can't put down once you get started, which is all you can ask for in a good book.

When Ella wakes up a week after a tragic car accident, she has no memories of the last 6 months. Her husband refusal to help, along with her desire to get to the
Bottom of the memory loss, takes her on an adventure that she has apparently already had before. As her journey for answers unfold, secrets are revealed, but what is the actual truth?

Ella is a journalist for a magazine and enjoys a great lifestyle with her husband Damien. Until, that is, she wakes up in the hospital after a car accident with short term memory loss. She is told she lost their unborn child, and Damien is devastated and seemingly angry with Ella. Her instincts as a journalist take over as she tries to uncover her memories of the accident and her pregnancy. She reconnects with Nathan Donovan, a retired celebrity adventurer who seems to know a lot about Ella but wants to build a relationship with her before he reveals what he knows. Will Ella get the answers she is looking for and will she learn that some truths are better left in the dark?
This was an action-packed mystery that I simply could not put down!! I was invested in Ella and rooted for her throughout the book. The story kept me guessing and I loved the twists and turns!
Thanks to Kerry Lonsdale, Lake Union Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC of this fantastic book!

First, thanks to #NetGalley for the opportunity to read an e-galley of this book.

Ella Skye is a journalist, working for Luxe Avenue magazine. She wakes up in the hospital, knowing who she is and who she works for, she also knows her husband, Damien, her brother, Andrew, and best friend, Davie. What she doesn't remember is the accident she was in that caused her to lose her baby, Simon, that she was 5 months pregnant with.

When Damien is able to take her home, she doesn't recognize her maternity clothes,or the guest room they had turned into a nursery.

Ella takes time to recover, then throws herself back in to her work. She is told that she is going to go finish an exclusive interview with Nathan Donovan. She goes to review her notes and recordings that she had from the previous interview, but she can't find them. She doesn't want to tell her publisher she has lost her memory, so she goes to do the interview and decides to just start over. The more questions she asks, the more confused she becomes, because it becomes obvious to her that Nathan Donovan knows so much more about her than she does about him......

Twists and turns galore! "I didn't see that coming!"

A gripping, well-plotted story I raced through. Kerry Lonsdale never fails to write the kind of stories you can believe and visualize and be hooked by. I loved it.

This book is a bit of a departure from other books I’ve read by Kerry Lonsdale. But it still contains her desire to surprise us as she tells a story. Honestly, even the ending is more than a little ambiguous, so you need to be able to enjoy a book that is not tied up in a neat little package. Some of the things that shine about this book? It keeps your attention. You’re not quite sure who to root for. It makes you wonder along the way.
Last summer is not quite a mystery, and yet it is. It asks the “what happened?” question very well, but there are no detectives or police. Last Summer is not quite a romance, and yet it is. There are two handsome men who both have claims of love for the heroine. And yet, this isn’t a traditional love triangle. Last Summer is about amnesia, and what causes it, and yet it isn’t.. This isn’t “While You We’re Gone”. It’s very nuanced and demands of the reader that he/she/they do some work along the way.
I’m happy to recommend this book as the good read it is. It should appeal to fans of multiple genres. And......does the story go on? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

I have been a huge fan of Kerry Lonsdale. Her last series still has me thinking to this day. This book did not disappoint!
Another great read !

Loved this book! It’s the perfect beach read! I loved the characters and didn’t want it to end! This is a beach read must have!

This was a very intriguing story that centers around memory loss. There were many twists and turns, some that were super surprising! Definitely recommend this action packed story.

Well written as to its prose. But not an easy book to read or even want to finish other than to get through it. Characters were well presented, one could even like some of them but certainly not all.

Lonsdale is a favorite on Amazon and understandably so. Women's fiction with a twist. I loved the characters, even the ones who turnout to be ridiculously flawed. If you could willfully erase certain memories, would you? is a prevailing theme as well as the notion of honesty in a relationship. An enjoyable quick read with a surprise ending.

I have read all of Kerry Lonsdale's previous books, and this one did not disappoint. What a wonderful, edge-of-your-seat read! I spent the whole book not being quite sure how it would end, and where it would lead. And, I found myself rooting for all the characters in different ways, but most of all Ella, who I just wanted to see happy by the end. All of the twists and turns in the book are very unexpected, but it all wraps up in a way that makes sense. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Oh my goodness! I absolutely loved this book! This was my first book by Kerry, and definitely not my last. I have to say her writing is just perfect!
