Cure for the Common Breakup by Beth Kendrick and Always With You by Andrea Hurst

Sometimes it's a good thing to read some romantic light stories and these two books are of that genre.

Ms. Kendrick's book is about the breakup of Summer Benson and her travels to a small town called Black Dog Bay.  Here she learns to pick up the pieces her life, make new friends, get a new job and begin a new romance.  A light-hearted story with a few laughs for good measure.   Having read one of this author's previous novels entitled The Lucky Dog Matchmaking Service, I was not unfamiliar with her writing style.
A great beach book!

Andrea Hurst's novel was a bit more serious.  It involves two high school friends reconnecting.  Cathy is a single lady, divorced and running a B&B.  Pam is married and has a small child.  Pam and her family move into Cathy's home while Pam's husband is looking for a job.  One thing leads to another and Cathy ends up falling in love with Pam's husband. This novel has an interesting ending.  Again, this is a light foray into romantic relationships.  This author's description of food was particularly tantilizing.  A good read for a hot summer day in a cool quiet place.
