The Wrong Bed

review 1: Adam and Julia have known each other for years, almost decades. They were campmates in their childhood and later counselors at the same camp. Julia has always harbored a secret crush for Adam. He was a player and out of her reach. Years later Julia and Adam are brought back together at Camp Winnehawkee. Their friends, Kate and Mason, have purchased the property and are in the process of fixing it up to reopen.I’d like to thank NetGalley and Harlequin for the review copy of Not Just Friends. This is a good Harlequin read. Very typical of their offerings. An easy, breezy love story. Nothing too deep or complicated. Friends, steamy sex scenes, and the question of - will these two people end up together in the end? A nice read. Kate Hoffman has been writing for Harlequin sin... morece 1993 and has over sixty books released! Oh my goodness. If this title is any indication of her abilities as an author, I can see why she’s been so successful.I enjoyed the camp grounds setting. We experience old cabins, mosquitoes, water skiing, sneaky trips trough the trees for a secret rendezvous. It was lots of fun. At times I found Julia’s inner conflict confusing or contradictory. I understand that her heart was wavering and that she couldn’t decide on things, but this concept seemed muddled. I also felt the pacing of the story, especially the last 25%, was off. Neither of those things can deduct enough points for me to not like the story. It’s a fun read and perfect for summertime. Pick it up before heading up north or going to the beach.
review 2: Not Just friends This easy breezy read was offered to me by Net Galley and harlequin. Thank youThis book was an easy breezy read which hit the spot, I was craving me some harlequin blaze and as always it was delivered.An adventure awaits you at camp Winnehatchee as it did many years ago for Adam and Julia as kids they’d enjoyed the camp as a retreat. Now the camp is closing down and as a favour to their friends once again they come together to save the camp. Julia anticipates seeing her childhood sweetheart but tells herself that the feelings are no longer there … and Adam can’t wait to see Julia to see if she’s still as beautiful and unattainable as before. From the offset it can be seen that there's still chemistry and being the only two singletons in the group they are automatically grouped together which in the end saves a lot of sneaking around. When Julia’s diary is discovered and passed around camp, unbeknownst to the rest of the group, she is embarrassed and at the beginning of each new chapter there is an excerpt pertaining to the chapter about her and Adam. I thought that was cute. And in the end true to Harlequin Blaze sparks fly and diamonds are polished.A cute read. 3/5 less
