Book ONE in the Summer Sisters series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling romance author Jean Oram!
One photographer who needs cash—fast. One movie star with an offer as tempting as his bad boy smile.
Hailey Summer needs more time. As the eldest Summer sister she’s always taken on the task of solving everyone’s problems—including finding ways to hold onto the family’s precious … finding ways to hold onto the family’s precious historic cottage. Only this time she’s stretched too far and is in danger of losing absolutely everything that matters to her from her dream photography business to her sisters’ trust to the cottage that’s been in the family for over a century. Will Hailey find the money she needs or will she have to confront a lot more than just the family members she’s kept in the dark?
When Finian Alexander closes his eyes he is haunted by his family’s destitute past and the unfulfilled promises he’s made to others. Only a fraction away from making the A-list food chain and fulfilling his promises, Finian needs help from the paparazzi to push his next ‘bad boy of Hollywood’ escapade into the limelight. Problem is he’s in the Canadian Muskokas and the only photographer he’d consider partnering with slaps him every time he deserves it—which is increasingly often as he becomes more desperate.
Will Hailey and Finian give in to the easy way out of their problems, or will discover how alike they truly are when they hit the tabloids—together?
This is the first book in the Summer Sisters beach read contemporary romance series.

Finian and Hailey are so cute together. They are complete opposites, or so it appears, yet they really have so much in common, both are trying to make life better for other people. This story is sweet, romantic, funny and heartbreaking. This is a great first book in the series and I look forward to reading all about the Summer sisters in future …
Sisters
When you are trying to make a living by taking photos, sometimes you need to take the photos that make you quick money, little did you know you would fall for the guy.
Wonderful story! Great characters and entertaining storyline! I am enjoying this series starter and plan to keep reading this series.
Life of movie star was changed while vacationing in Canada. I didnt think book flowed. Kind of choppy reading.
This is a fun read. A very different spin on movie stars and paparazzi in Canada.
Good beach book
Fun summer read. Thought by the name that this would be another predictable Cinderella romance but was pleasantly surprised by the twists and turns. Loved the humor sprinkled throughout the dialogue—sounded natural and true to the characters. Plan to purchase the next book.
Good read.
Good book but the ending wasn’t written as well as the rest
UGH! DNF at about a third of the way through. I just couldn’t do it. The characters never engaged me. They remained self-centered, simple, and redundant. The writing was simplistic and repetitive. It was free and had decent ratings so I took a chance….
Loved these characters as well as the locations. Such a great love story in our time.
This was entertaining but one I could put down. Both characters have past experiences that create problems in their relationship but they work through them. I didn’t like that Hailey slapped Finian…never okay whether male or female.
Fun easy read
No big surprises, but this book provided a good and entertaining read. The characters were realistic, the conversations were believable, and it was all-around enjoyable.
Audio/Ebook Review: Love and Rumors (The Summer Sisters, #1) by Jean Oram (Author), Vanessa Moyen (Narrator)
Can a hot mess turn into a lifetime of happiness? Love and Rumors is one of those stories that is guided by laughter and structured with heart. Oram has a penchant for whimsical storytelling. Finian and Hailey are a pocketful of nonsense …
I listened to the audio version of this book. It was light and a simple story. The hero, Finian, was a movie star. I really tend to not like books with movie stars. He was definitely acting like someone he wasn’t. He had a “bad boy” image to maintain, so he did some rude obnoxious things. The heroine, Hailey was much more down to earth, but she …
“I was like an invisible soul no one had noticed for years. And then there you were. Seeing me.”
I truly enjoyed Love and Rumors. It’s a very sweet, funny and heartwarming tale. It’s about two people feeling like they have the weight of the world resting on their shoulders and them not wanting to let anyone down. About learning to open oneself up …
