Cherie takes the cottage at the beach and sells her half of the law firm to start a fresh. What she wasn’t expecting was the long term owners of the cottage next door to all of a sudden start renting the cottage out. This is where it gets good! I’m not saying anymore other than read this book!

Sometimes you meet a stranger who changes your life. Sometimes friendship turns into more. Sometimes you need a second chance at love. This is a great feel good story and it has a happily ever after.

See you in September is another fantastic 5 star read by Debbie Zello. I have now read all of the books in this series and I think this may just be my favourite. I always adore Ms Zello’s writing, her books are easy to read, have fantastic characters and amazing twists and turns that keep me glued from beginning to end.
I really took to these characters; I thought the author did a great job with her development of them. Cheri and Gareth really did have some lovely moments together and I was rooting for them from the beginning. I admired Cheri and I felt like she grew over the story and kind of found herself again. As always I knew not to expect plain sailing and there were some great twists and turns that I definitely didn’t see coming!
I wholeheartedly recommend this book and I know, like I was, you will certainly be rooting for Cheri to find her happily ever after! The book is beautifully written, has a great flow and pace to it and I don’t think any reader who loves romantic suspense stories will be disappointed in See you in September!

It’s the first book in Debbie’s Refuge series, it’s also my first book by this author but it certainly won’t be my last, I can’t wait to read more from this author! I loved Debbie’s writing style, it was perfectly detailed, and it managed to pull me in right from the start.

I connected with these characters from the beginning, I found Cheri to be so relatable and I loved how real her story felt. I was so invested in her story that I was saddened when I reached the end!

Rated 4 stars
I have enjoyed Debbie Zellos books in the past. I weirdly read the second and third book in this series before reading this one. I think her writing gets better the more she writes. While this is a good book it’s not one of my favorites from her. This has many cute moments between Cheri and Gareth but there is also an element of danger and a difficult subject is touched upon. I enjoyed Gareth when they first meet. He seemed a little pushy but he turns out super great. Cheri was kind of melancholy but she perked up when Gareth kept coming around.
After September Gareth leaves to go back to California. One thing I don’t understand is the communication or lack of. They both have feelings for each other but there is no communication between them. Not texting, calling or emailing. Just weird. I just didn’t understand that. During this time Cheri is having trouble. With her business and personal life. Not sure if she can overcome all of these and still be waiting for September when Gareth comes back.
The other characters added some interest to the book. Garett’s Personal Assistant, Naomi, gives him a run for his money. She takes none of his sass but gives it right back. Tucker, Garett’s best friend, also puts some snark in the book.
Cheri had it all, until she went home one day and found her husband David with another man. Not waiting for an explanation. she divorced him and took the house at the Cape as settlement. Gareth wasn’t looking for any form of a relationship while he spent his summer relaxing.
After their change encounter on the beach both Cheri and Gareth realise that they have feelings for each other that they never thought they would feel again. They spend an amazing summer together, spending every second they can together, with Cheri being careful with what her ex did to her and Gareth being cautious due to events in his past. With all the obstacles put between them they want to meet up in September to see if their connection is still there and where it will take them.
Can’t wait to see where the rest of the series goes.
