You can hide from your past; you can hide from your future—but can you ever hide from love? He’s spent the last ten years hiding from his past. That’s meant staying on the move, never settling in any place for too long, and never letting anyone get too close. Summer Lake is different. It’s a place he doesn’t want to move on from. His job as a pilot means he’s away half the time, but when he’s … time, but when he’s home, he’s surrounded by good people. People he’s allowed himself to care about.
He’s made friends—friends who accept that he doesn’t share much about who he is or where he’s from. There’s a girl who he wishes could be more than a friend. They almost got together when he first came to the lake, but he couldn’t take the risk. His heart wanted so much more, but he had to hide his heart and be content with her friendship.
She’s hoped for more since the day she met him, but she, too, has had to settle for friendship.
Hearts can only stay hidden for so long, but when there’s too much love to hide, will the danger from his past finally track him down and destroy them both?

I waited for Zack’s story and I was not disappointed.
At first I thought sex was taking over the story. But Ms McCoy was able to return to the rest of the story
I love that SJ McCoy writes with such empathy and understanding as to how the course of true love never runs smoothly! In Too Much Love To Hide, SO creates Zack and Maria, two star-crossed lovers with tons of obstacles in the way of their relationship. I truly had no clue as to how SJ would resolve this dilemma. But of course she did because SJ McCoy, would never leave her romance reader junkies without a happily ever after! Once again SJ’s creative wizardry shines as she returns us to Summer Lake, California. I admit that after reading so many of SJ McCoy’s Summer Lake novels, as a native California that has travelled the Central Coast numerous times, I still keep an eye out for a sign pointing the way to Summer Lake. From the vivid descriptions of the people , the town and resort, I am convinced that Summer Lake MUST be real! I am even more convinced I want to retire there!
The more I read of SJ McCoy the more in love with her literary works of art, I become! I highly recommend, if you haven’t read any of her series,that you do so soon! It’s well worth your time!
I enjoyed Zack and Maria’s love story. Although it had all the elements of a good romantic suspense, it dragged on just a little too much in places for my taste. Still definitely worth reading!
Too much explicite sex.
Great book!! Zack has hid his love for Maria for many years. Maria has hid her love for Zack for many years. Zack had a reason so he kept Maria in the friend zone for all these years…..until he couldn’t do it anymore!! A great standalone with an HEA with twists and turns your not expecting!!
not very well written
An entertaining afternoon read.
I enjoyed this book and have read others in the series. A feel good read that I recommend.
Enjoy reading this author and the series is great.
This is a sweet and entertaining book. I really enjoyed the characters and how they intertwined.
Interesting main characters. You’re left wondering what his secret is for a long time, which was well done. There is quite a bit that is pieces of other character’s stories, which I presume is in other books. There is some very steamy sex scenes. If you don’t like steamy, you can skim past them. They don’t move the story forward.
It felt like it dragged in places.
Zach and Maria’s story was short and sweet, but full of love, mystery and drama. Zach’s past has finally caught up to him. He’s hidden his love for Maria too long. He can’t hide it anymore, but it could put Maria in danger. In the end, love and justice prevail. It was great to see all the other Summer Lake friends too.
Note: language warning, in case you aren’t familiar with SJ McCoy’s books.
Another great story by SJ McCoy. This time we bring together Zack and Maria finally. Maria is a strong independent woman with a crazy crush on Zack. Zack likes Maria but he’s got secrets he needs to hide but can’t fight his feelings any longer. This was hinted in others stories. You will get to hear his story at last. Can they survive? I have read an advanced copy in exchange for honest review.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
It was a great book!
Maria thought that Zack only saw her as a “friend.”
She had resigned herself to that role, or so she thought.
Zack tried to keep things simple to avoid the pain.
With Maria, he is not so sure anymore.
He started to think that he wants a future w/ her.
Will Zack give love a chance ?
Loved the characters + the storytelling!
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
For SJ book lovers, welcome back to the lake. Zack’s backstory is one that we have wondered about for a while. This book has a bit of mystery in it. SJ makes you work for answers. The reader will want to keep reading to find out what exactly is going on with Zack. This is part of a series, and I think it best if you read the others as well. SJ introduces us to a whole new set of characters. Readers of the original Summer Lake series, will be happy to see a few of their favorite characters make appearances in this book, but it’s refreshing to meet this new crop of characters. I can tell there will be lots more books on the horizon. This book has a great storyline with awesome writing. Dual point of view. No cliffhanger.
Zack is a pilot who is away a lot, but is happy when he is home in Summer Lake. Due to having issues from his past he has always been very secretive about himself. Maria is a lovable and bubbly character who has always had feeling for Zack but thought that he just saw them as friends. When they both reach a point where they cannot deny their feelings any more, secrets start to come out. No spoilers; this is an absolute must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a beautifully written story which has suspense, love, and is a humorous story. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I cannot wait to read more form this talented author, whose work I highly recommend for all.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
