Costas Sisters Series 1. Under the Boardwalk 2. Summer Lovin'  Reviews Reviews ... "I LOVED this book and I know romance readers will consider this book a real treat! Congratulations Carly Phillips, you have written a winner! Romantic, action packed, and hot- absolutely everything a reader could want!"    —Jenni Brooks, The Best Reviews "SUMMER LOVIN', by NYT Bestselling Author Carly Phillips, is just in time for some great summer reading. In true Phillips fashion, this delightful author has written a story that will draw you in immediately. It is fun, sassy, and quick-paced, and will definitely leave you in a good mood after you've turned the last page."    —Brooke Wills, Romance Junkies ""A delightful sequel to UNDER THE BOARDWALK!" I've been waiting a long time for Zoe Costas story and believe me it's well worth the wait. I enjoyed every word and every page of this book. I laughed and I cried. I especially enjoyed visiting characters from the former book such as the whole Costas family and of course, Spank the monkey. I also enjoyed meeting Sam's new pet, Ima Pig. What a hoot! I highly recommend this book!"    —Kathy Boswell, The Best Reviews "SUMMER LOVIN' is a blast and will have the reader so engrossed in the story that they will be crazy for Zoe and Ryan."    —Barb Hicks, The Best Reviews "Ms. Phillips's second romance of the summer is a smashing hit! SUMMER LOVIN' is absolutely my favorite romance by Carly Phillips so far. The hero and heroine are incredible, and the world in which they reside in is beautifully structured. The intensity of the plot and sexual tension builds at a perfect pace. I loved visiting the Costas family again. Readers first met this family in UNDER THE BOARDWALK. Fans of Carly Phillips will be exhilarated to finally add SUMMER LOVIN' to their keeper shelf!"    —BJ Deese, CataRomance Reviews "What a wonderful zany story! Zoe and Samantha are great characters that pull the stuffy Ryan out of his rut. SUMMER LOVIN' is a story about acceptance and love. It is not just the love between two people of the opposite sex but the love of family. One family shows love freely and one family has to learn how to love. Carly Phillips chose just the right blend of characters to teach them how to love. SUMMER LOVIN' is a novel that will bring many smiles to your face as you turn the pages."    —Dawn Myers, Writers Unlimited Reviewer "Carly Phillips' SUMMER LOVIN' touched many emotions throughout the telling of the tale. Zoe showed great strength and confidence in herself and not just as a woman but as an individual. The one flaw that made her truly human was her inability to say "I love you" and I am sure that many of us can relate to that. Ryan showed an individual who could learn from life's new experience and grow and develop. As I watched them develop as individuals as well as a couple, I saw tenderness that made me misty; I saw fright for a young girl that made me a bit angry; I saw the way that only a couple in love can argue that made me laugh and I saw love in relationships that exemplified hope. Not just the relationship between Zoe and Ryan but also the way all of the adults came together out of their love for a child. A high society lady and a woman who dressed as a geisha can work together for a child.   As far as the suspense part, I have to admit it wasn't until I was halfway through the book that I realized there would be some suspense. It kind of crept up on me. I found that interesting since in reality, isn't that what would happen in real life? Great book!"    —Once Upon A Romance "Award winning author Carly Phillips has two August 2005 book releases from Harlequin's newest line HQN that are sure to be classic keepers for reader fans. First, SUMMER LOVIN' lets readers return to the wacky, fun world of the Costa family, this time to read along as it's Zoe's turn to fall in love. This story has the usual trademark humor, hot steamy love, quirky characters, and page turning plot that they love."    —LovesRomances.com "The second in the Costas Sister series is a fast-paced read with endearing characters. Fan's of Ms. Phillips are in for a very entertaining read. This is a complex story but not so complex to confuse readers. I truly enjoyed stepping into Ms. Phillips world. The Costas family, Zoe and Ryan are truly wonderful and dynamic characters. There is no don't that THEY tell their own story. There is a natural chemistry between Ryan and Zoe that makes this a very good romance. Ms. Phillips truly has a talent when it comes to drawing out her characters and pulling a reader in. This is a great read and one that you won't want to miss."    —Contemporary Romance Writers "A fun, yet emotional story. A story that will keep you hooked with its kooky, yet charming characters, SUMMER LOVIN' is a book I highly recommend."    —Jennifer Bishop, Romance Reviews Today "... a funny, loving, caring book about a relationship that survives the most unusual circumstances."    —In the Library Reviews "Instant attraction makes this summer romance sizzle. If you're in the mood for a little SUMMER LOVIN', pick up this sexy novel."    —Lissa Staley, Fresh Fiction "I do not believe that there is actually any way to dislike a Carly Phillips book. She is a great writer and her characters are very realistic—they have problems and issues that the reader can truly relate to. SUMMER LOVIN' is a lively, upbeat romance that tells a great story and leaves you wanting more.   Zoe and Ryan heat up the pages of SUMMER LOVIN' from page 1 until page 298. Every word keeps you enthralled and wanting it never to end."    —Kristal Gorman, Romance Reader at Heart "Phillips's light touch assures a happy ending to this diverting beach read."    —Publishers Weekly 4 Stars: "The wild and wacky Costas family is back, and it's Zoe's turn to find her mate. Acceptance, forgiveness and the ability to change make this a funny and touching family drama."    —Jill M. Smith, RT BOOKclub Magazine
