I had a hard time getting into this book. I was at the half way mark and was just going to stop reading it, However, I hate doing that. It started to keep me interested but by the end I was just glad that it was over. You don't find out what happened to Dylan's father. I'm sure that will come to light in the next few books.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.  

Summer Nights by Jill Sanders is the first book in a new series about the Wildflowers, a group of women who met at a summer camp and years later decide to turn it into an adult camp.  This book involves Zoey and Dylan and involves romance with some suspense involved.  I loved the dynamic of the group of women.  I also enjoyed the growing relationship of Zoey and Dylan.  I can't wait for the next book in the series!

Too many characters, too many subplots, too much telling and not enough showing. The lead characters didn't have chemistry. I mean, they told us they did, but it was never really shown. The summer camp for adults premise sounded fun but the execution was lackluster and confusing.

I struggled big time with this book. There was so much going on and so many characters, my head was on a constant swivel. I know there is going to be more books in this series, but it could have been handled differently.

What a great new series by Jill Sanders. Summer Nights was nice romance that is filled with fun, laughs and suspense.  Dylan and Zoey have an immediate attraction. It takes a bit to get through Zoey's wall and earn her trust, but when Dylan gets through sparks fly.  I can't wait for the next book in this series.

I loved the description of this book.  Who could pass up a story about adult summer camp?  Five friends, called the Wildflowers, return to the camp that was such a big part of their childhood.  They intend to re-open the camp, as a retreat for couples.  

I struggled to finish this book.  I was a little overwhelmed by all the characters and the many plotlines.  It felt like there was too much going on and I was having trouble keeping up.  Because of that, there wasn’t enough emphasis put on the main characters, Zoey and Dylan.  I really wasn’t attached to Zoey or Dylan and I didn’t feel much chemistry between them as a couple.

Summer Nights is a great summer read. It's about 5 girls who form a bond at summer camp and become life long friends. After the death of owner of the camp the girls decide to fix and reopen the camp. Interesting story developes as they go forward with their plans. You'll enjoy their struggles and love development along the way.

The blurb of this one sucked me right in; it promised a unique plotline with potential of a memorable story. And I will say that I found the plot interesting. I had a strong desire to learn the characters' secrets, which kept me reading. However, I personally did not feel any connection to Zoey or Dylan, nor did I feel much of a connection between them. I think the problem for me might have been that as the first book in a new series with many players, this book spent a lot of time setting up the plot that will run throughout, which didn't leave as much time for developing the two main characters in this one or their relationship. Perhaps the upcoming books will not suffer from the multi-focused distraction that I noted in this one. This is the first book that I've read for this author, and because there was so much going on, I'm not sure I got a real sense of her typical writing style. I would be interested in reading the next book in the series, Elle's story, to gage the style in a more focused background. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for providing an ARC for review.

I really loved the summer-y camp setting of this book! It was fun and totally brought me back to being a kid again. I also enjoyed how there was mystery aspect among the story. However, the thought the romance was a little fast paced. It was cute and I did like it, but maybe a bit unrealistic. I will continue the series and hope to enjoy the rest!

I feel like this book took me forever to finish. I did enjoy the story and it was interesting enough to keep me engaged, however there was so much going on with other characters that I feel it took away from zoey and Dylan. Overall I give it 3 stars. Thank you to netgalley for the ARC.

I received A complimentary of this book through netgalley. I am a big fan of Jills books and her books get better each and every time I read them. I thought i had a favorite picked of hers, but each new one makes me go no this one my favorite.  I loved the story between Zoey Rowland and Dylan Rhodes. I loved the cover it fits the the way Dylan described in the book.

Zoey first experience of summer camp resulted in a friendship with a group of girls who call themselves The Wildflowers. Now they’re grown the group decide to transform their old camp into one aimed at adults instead. When they start hiring Dylan and his two brothers apply for jobs in the hope of locating their missing father who seemed to have some connection with it. There are a lot of secrets, which makes Zoey and Dylan’s increasing attraction difficult. Fun read but obviously the first book of the series, as many things aren’t resolved by the end. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

Great start to a new series.

Wildflowers are a group of girls that came together at summer camp.

This story focuses on Zoey and Dylan.  I loved seeing them figure things out. 

There is an overall story arc that continues into the upcoming books.  Can't wait to see how it unfolds.

This was a quick read for me. Romantic and suspense.  This is the first book in a series I can't wait for more! Thanks Netgalley for the Arc

This was a very quick read, however, I think there were too many characters to try and keep track of. I loved the idea of this book, I'm just not sure the execution was 100% there. I think there were also too many different plot points. A deranged employee, a missing person, a trio of mysterious brothers, an estranged father and much younger ex wife, 5 young women coming together to open a camp, and the escapades of all the guests and I'm sure I'm probably forgetting something.

Thanks to author for providing this copy through Netgalley.
Romance story with a lot of twists and suspense. Although the main suspense line isn't developed here, it's first book in series, I think author will be continuing later.
I didn't like main characters at all. 
Relationship based on lies isn't good.
Hero was telling half truths, lies all the way. Heroine just kept forgiven him. She tried to play it cool but failed.
Safe read, no cheating, no OP scenes.

I love it when a new series is as great as this one. I can't wait to see what happens next at the camp in upcoming stories. Zoey is so laid back, she doesn't even get mad when Dylan tells her the truth of why him and his brothers are at the camp. The trouble that the campers get into is hilarious.

A smart, sexy romance with a touch of suspense, Jill Sanders is quickly becoming an automatic one-click favorite. I truly enjoyed getting to know these well written cast of characters and hope there'll be more books in this series.
