 Denise Hunter’s “Barefoot Summer” Summer Sun Giveaway! 







Madison’s heart has been closed for years. But one summer can change everything.

In the years since her twin brother’s tragic drowning, Madison has struggled with her ability to trust God—or anyone else, for that matter. It was her brother’s dream to win the annual River Sail Regatta in their small harbor town of Chapel Springs, Indiana. And Madison’s determined to honor his legacy by making his dream her own. Maybe then she can finally find closure.

But learning to sail means learning to swim. And her instructor is Beckett O’Reilly, a man who already has two strikes against him in Madison's eyes. Being on the water terrifies Madison. But Beckett’s calming presence and unwavering confidence eases her fear. And as much as she’d like to deny it, the chemistry between them is electrifying.

As her feelings for him grow, a fledging faith begins to take root in her soul, as well. With Beckett, Madison feels alive for the first time in years –carefree and confident she can win the regatta, maybe even find love.

But Beckett harbors a secret that will test the limits of their love and the depth of Madison's faith. Will their love survive summer's challenge? And will achieving her brother's dream give Madison the peace she desperately seeks? - book description from amazon.com

My Thoughts:
I've been a fan of Denise Hunters writing for awhile now. and i was SOOOO excited to read this new novel. i've been anticipating it for months. and it was just as awesome as many i've read by her. the characters have a deep connection and the family just seems so great. its definitely a book for summer since it talks about summer activities. mainly sailing. i'd totally recommend this if you love to read a light novel with amazing characters. Denise will never disappoint me in writing at all.

Thank you to litfuse and thomas nelson for providing me with a copy of this novel for review. i was not compensated in any way.
