Summer's Island (The Fantasy Maker Series) Kindle Edition
What kind of guy responds to an advertisement like that? A stressed-out gourmet chef like JD Middleton might. With pressure from his friends, dares and double dares, he applies. AND he is chosen. Soon he will spend a week in a tropical paradise.
A small seaplane drops him off near the shore of a deserted island. It seems he’ll have his solitude, but the island, though tropical, is no paradise. Nothing but ocean, sand, and jungle. No place to get a beer or a bed. Something moved quickly toward him. An animal? A person? Darn. It was a woman. His vacation did not include women. Was this some kind of a joke, a mistake, or something more sinister?
JD’s mistrust of this so-called vacation grows, and Summer hides secrets. Did The Fantasy Maker give one a vacation and the other a job? Can opposites really attract? Is love in the stars? With few supplies and many life-threatening situations, these two strangers must work together to survive.
Summer's Island is a wild beach adventure complete with love, danger, and a dog named Noodles … and an unimaginable ending.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2022I received a complimentary copy and am voluntarily leaving a review. Summer’s Island is the first book in the Fantasy Maker series. This was a fun quick read. J.D. an aspiring chef, and his friends see an ad to win a fantasy vacation. They all decided to apply to it and J.D won a week on an island where he can be alone and fish. J.D wonders what the catch is. Can this really be true with no fees? Nothing is for free or is there? This was a fun enjoyable read.
