Well like always I am loving this book then right towards the end the hero freaks out like a coward and runs, hurting the heroine. God it just pisses me off so bad. The books have so much potential but always ruin it for me with some cowardly ass bullshit at the end. Not only did Clay do the After he broke up with Charlie ripping out her heart he tells his brother that if his dead wife was still alive he wouldn't be with Charlie. So you know a coward and Charlie was the runner up prize
I enjoyed this story. There was a good amount of angst, some family drama, a couple of funny moments, and a few steamy parts. But I felt there could have been more romance between Charlie and Clay, the MCs. Maybe I wanted Charlie to be softer and Clay to be more assertive... I didn't love the events that lead up to the ending, but I was happy Charlie and Clay got their happily ever after.
Actually, I was kind of hoping it to be a boring story, so I could stop reading the series. It wasn't. Although All Summer Long was an easy read, it was unbelievably good.I enjoyed the storyline. The main characters, Charlie and Clay, were smart, independent, and interesting. The book had enough romance, family drama, and also some wonderfully hilarious moments. The ending was very similar to all the other endings in this series, but I didn't care. Charlie and Clay were amazing. I fell in love w...
ALL SUMMER LONG brings together Charlie Dixon, a muscular, tough, firewoman, with underwear model and movie butt double Clay Stryker. Talk about opposites. Charlie is tough—physically and mentally—because she thinks she has to be. When her biological clock alarm begins ringing, she realizes that she has some issues from her past that must be dealt with before she can raise a mentally healthy child (i.e. not pass on her own fears and phobias to her child.) Clay is a pretty face…or at least that’s...
I love Charlie! She's one of my favorite characters and this is one of my favorite stories in the series.
This was a fast read that left the reader satisfied and happy! The reader enjoys the book from start to finish, it grabs their attention and never lets it go! The characters are fun, the banter is realistic and the reader can't help but feel like they are with friends while reading this.A stand-alone that will leave the reader scrambling to go back and read the first books prior to this one. A great read!

Can these two lonely people overcome the obstacles
I went into this book pretty dubious. I haven't been that crazy about the series, I didn't really like the heroine from previous books, the hero sounded improbable, and I tend to get put off by the "abused heroine must be gently coaxed into liking sex" plot. To my surprise, I liked almost everything about it.I just loved the characters. Charlie (she eschews her birth name, Chantel) is a tall, strong woman who's always felt oversized and unfeminine, especially next to her tiny ballerina mom. The
Charlie is not a "girly" woman and Chase is extremely handsome which make them a perfect couple in Fool's Gold, California. Romance and humor kept me reading all afternoon.
Review written for www.books-n-kisses.comThis is the ninth in the Fool’s Gold series. And the last of the Stryker Brother trilogy. And I think Mallery saved the best brother for last. This is the story of Clay and Charlie. We met Charlie a few books back. She is a Fool’s Gold firefighter and Clay is a NYC underwear model.I will be honest, I could not imagine these two together. I imagined Charlie something like Kristen Johnston from “3rd Rock from the Sun” tv show. And Clay something like Matthe...
My library had a ton of Susan Malleey books available for the Kindle, so I thought I'd try one. The story was predictable, unrealistic, and dumb. There was foreshadowing that never led to anything, I'm guessing because the "clues" were setting up things in the next book. The sex scenes were fine, not too much for my prudish sensibilities. I give this book 1 out of 5 boners.
I couldn’t get into this book. I understand the main character has reservations and it is wonderful for the author to address the complex topic of sexual trauma. But I’ve seen this sort of thing handled better. It just didn’t add up with Clay saying he was reading up on how partners of those who have undergone rape should be supportive snd then he dives in and kisses her without heads up or permission.That aside, the characters were all overdone. Charlie seemed comically against being feminine i...
I liked the banter between the Stryker brothers, but the relationship between Clay & Charlie was less believable. I liked Clay’s character, but found it difficult to believe Charlie’s story in this book based on how she was set up in previous books. Just wasn’t sold on them together.
Did NOT enjoy this. Why oh why oh why did I finish it? I am cursed with the kind of disposition that hates not finishing books, I guess.Clay is a former underwear model, who now wants to do other stuff with his life. Clay is also the male epitome of my good friend, Mary Sue, and can do no wrong. He never acts in anger, his temper never rises, he can take heaps of bad behavior and abuse from strangers, acquaintances and his quasi-lover with equanimity, he is the world's best lover, a grieving wid...
