Review: A New Shade of Summer

A New Shade of Summer A New Shade of Summer by Nicole Deese
My rating: 💛💛💛💛

I think this was my favourite one of the series. How gorgeous is this cover!

I loved Davis’ character and the relationship reconciliations he had to go through with his son and in-laws. Some of those scenes were raw and emotional.

Callie was like a hurricane - coming in strong and fast and leaving an impact on everyone she met. Her backstory was also sad and she had a lot of growth to go through.

This book had a male and female narrator which changed with the POV of either Davis and Callie which I really liked. Especially the male voice.

A strong ending to the series and I would recommend this to everyone who loves contemporary fiction.

About the book:

As an artist, Callie Quinn relies on inspiration to guide her wandering soul. This summer she accepts a short-term muralist job in her sister’s charming town to spend some much-needed time with her family. After meeting her nephew’s friend, Brandon, she’s eager to draw out his untapped artistic talents—however, it’s the boy’s straitlaced single father who could use a little color in his life.

Davis Carter may be the town’s favorite animal whisperer, but his experience is limited when it comes to understanding his preteen’s rebellious behavior. Desperate for a breakthrough, he follows the lead of a free spirit who claims to know the way into his son’s closed-off world. Soon, Davis isn’t the only one caught up in the hope of a new beginning.

Just as Callie considers trading her unattached existence for a life rich with promise and permanence, an unexpected visit from the past threatens to send her packing once again. Davis and Callie must learn to surrender their fears so they can find a love that will outlast the summer.
