This was a really fun premise and the romance was really well done. I enjoyed our main characters Jamie and Autumn, renavigating an old relationship and themselves.

I liked the premis of Camp Love, an adult summer camp to get away from your day to day and relax. This is a second chance romance where the two main characters unexpectedly run into each other at Camp Starlight. Jamie, is a lawyer who never takes a break and his best friend drags him a long for a much needed getaway. Autumn helped build this camp and is an ax throwing camp counselor. They also happen to be exes that dated in high school.

I was hoping for a bit more from this. I think there were many parts that were supposed to be funny but just fell flat for me. Being from the PNW I did love all the PNW references and the idea of the camp was fun. The romance was ok, not bad but also not great. With the humor lacking this was just a fluffy romance and wasn’t for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and Victory Editing for this E-ARC.

Jamie es un abogado corporativo de Seattle que ha dedicado su vida al trabajo, sacrificando cualquier rastro de vida personal. Su mejor amigo y asistente, Ren, lo convence a tomar unas vacaciones en un retiro poco convencional: un campamento de verano para adultos. Allí, en medio de la naturaleza, Jamie se reencuentra con algo que había perdido: la alegría de vivir, nuevas amistades, y... a ella.

Autumn ha encontrado su propósito en Camp Starlight, un campamento exclusivo en las montañas de Oregón donde adultos se reconectan con ellos mismos lejos del estrés cotidiano. Es feliz entre fogatas, manualidades y bromas internas con el personal. Lo que no esperaba era que uno de los nuevos campistas fuera Jamie, su primer amor y la persona que partió su corazón años atrás.

Mientras ambos lidian con recuerdos, expectativas y una química imposible de ignorar, el campamento se convierte en el escenario perfecto para segundas oportunidades. Pero ¿puede un amor que no funcionó en el pasado sobrevivir en el presente?

Me sorprendió que Jamie no le dijera a Jack lo que vio.

If you are looking for a cute and cozy summer romance, this is the one for you! Autumn and Jamie make the cutest couple of the summer!

Meet the main female character, Autumn- camp counselor at Camp Starlight for 5 years, sweetheart, and a hard worker.
Meet the main male character, Jamie- workaholic, struggles when it comes to relationships, up-tight and desperately needs to take a vacation.

Jamie needs to relax and take a break from work. What better way to do that, then to take a short vacation to an adult summer camp?
He’s settling in nicely so far. That is, until, he meets the camp counselor. His ex-girlfriend, highschool sweetheart, and first love. He broke her heart.
He was supposed to spend the his vacation disconnecting. Instead, he spends his vacation reconnecting with his first love, Autumn.

Watching Autumn and Jamie fall in love- again, was so much fun! This book is filled with humor and tension. I was hesitant about the main male character, Jamie, at first but he is the perfect man for Autumn. He has a great sense of humor and he is such a goof! The spice in this book was just *chef’s kiss*!
After reading this book, I realized that I also desperately need a vacation to an adult summer camp! This book was cozy, sweet, fun and perfect.
I cannot wait to read more from Ellie Belmont and Lacey Cole!

I really enjoyed Camp Love. It was the perfect book to read over the summertime season. It was about slowing down, taking time to rediscover yourself, and rekindling live that was lost. It had all the elements of a great book and I flew through it in just a few short days. Highly recommend
