Synopsis:What do you do when a sexy, older man moves into your family’s summer rental?Well, apparently, you make a fool of yourself—over and over. Things didn’t exactly get off on the right foot with Noah Cavallari. Our first encounter was embarrassing, to say the least. But despite that, I found myself waking up every day with a newfound energy. Nothing exciting ever happened on the lake—not until Noah moved into the small boathouse on our property. He’d booked it for the entire summer…and I was still trying to figure out why. When my mother became ill, I inherited the responsibility of making sure our guests were well taken care of. I should have been in college. Instead, I was living my best life…as a maid. Dark, handsome, and mysterious, everything about Noah screamed forbidden. I knew he was just passing through town for the summer. I knew he was probably too old for me. Yet, I was drawn to him. Not to mention, he tried to save my life when he mistakenly thought I was drowning. I wanted him and made no secret of it. His own attempts to warn me away soon gave way to late-night moonlight chats by the lake. We were slowly easing into a friendship that was gearing up to explode into something I might not recover from. Because he’s leaving at the end of the summer. And I have no idea what I’ll do when August ends.
4.5 Star Review by LorenaOh Penelope really knows how to weave a great story that will leave you as one happy reader! Heather is such a young girl who feels stuck with nowhere to go (talk about boring) but when the new guest comes to stay at the boat, she suddenly feels sparks of excitement. Never in her wildest dreams did she think she would run into a man that godly and sinfully good looking. Noah is a bit closed off and a bit broody. He's trying for dear life to stay away from the sexy blonde, but she seems to make it impossible for him to want her in ways that are sinful. I can tell you that I never need to read the synopsis when it comes to a Penelope Ward book. She intrigues me to no end and I always know that whatever she brings out will captivate me to the fullest. When August Ends was definitely one of those slow burn, delicious reads that will have your kindle burning from hours of reading. I can also tell you that I love, LOVE a forbidden affair or romance in the air. With Noah being quite a bit older than Heather really picked my interest to keep reading this book when I first opened it up. Heather was pretty young but she was a wise and intelligent girl who knew what she wanted and she wasn't scared or ashamed to show it. Noah and Heather seemed to have bonded and were building a great friendship that was slowly morphing into more. A great read that will leave you in complete bliss.
