We Go Together by Ellie Hall: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 


The Book


She’s modern royalty. He’s a laid-back surfer living that endless summer lifestyle. When these high school sweethearts reunite to renovate a house, it’ll get a second chance, but will they?

Dee Dee
While visiting the West Coast for my cousin’s wedding, I take a detour down memory lane, arriving in the small beach town where I spent my senior year of high school. All those years ago I pretended to be the girl next door instead of a Barclay—yes, the billionaire royal family. Flash forward to now, falling asleep in the sand wasn’t part of my half-baked pit stop. Neither was waking up in the lifeguard’s strong, capable arms.

Sunny
When I left for dawn patrol this morning, finding the one who got away on the beach was the last thing I expected. I’m not sure what shocks her more, the rundown state of her late grandmother’s house or that I live in the guest cottage. But I am surprised when she extends her stay and asks me to help her spruce up the place to avoid her impending arranged marriage.

As feelings heat up under the sun, we question whether our past love story was just a nostalgic page from the yearbook. Will our mismatched romance become more than a summer fling?

Book 1 in the SoCal Summer Kisses series is a second chance, snack size short read that will leave you satisfied with all the swoony kisses and a HEA but none of the steam or cliffhangers.

Book Review

Royal + Surfer romance!? This was the combination that I didn't know I needed--- but absolutely found myself adoring! Sunny and Dee Dee were high school sweethearts who had not seen each other since... but when she needs a moment of escape from her royal responsibilities and finds herself on the beach where he works as a lifeguard, all those old feeling seem to come rushing back... and I adored every minute of it. Their reintroduction was so fun and had me laughing, but their chemistry was really what I adored the most. This is a super quick read--- easily read in just one brief sitting. With being such a short read, having that history of being high school sweethearts really helped to make that quick timeline feel more believable. I absolutely would have loved to spend more time with these two, as they were really fun characters whom I enjoyed getting to know, but I also didn't feel like anything was missing either. This was truly the perfect short and sweet summer romance to fit into these busy summer months. This is the first book in the SoCal summer kisses series and very much has me looking forward to the rest. 

We Go Together is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language.
