- A travel agent unexpectedly finds love on singles cruise
- Two frenemies are forced to share a cabin after one is stood up and left stranded with no place to stay
- A man wins two tickets on a singles cruise, but when his friend drops out last minute, he does the only thing he can think of: ask his crush to go with him
- Two relationship-phobic guys badgered into going on a singles cruise decide to be miserable together and end up getting more than they bargained for
- A guy who hooks up with a super-sexy older guy before sailing off, only to discover it’s his boss, aka the captain…
- A shy barista indulges in his sexual fantasy with his crush on a singles cruise…
- Jilted groom finds love onboard ship… with his would-be bride’s brother
- An assistant who’s been in love with his boss forever agrees to go on a singles cruise with him

I love to go camping and fishing in the summer. Just give me a secluded mountain cabin with a cool mountain stream or lake nearby. Perfect!
I love visting new countries, I normally choose a city I’ve not been before and spend a week trying to visit everything it has to offer. That’s the ideal vacation for me!
Wow! These all look and sound really good! ❤️❤️❤️
The beach would be the most ideal for me! Sorry, got excited, forgot to include my answer.🤗
Aahhh so looking forward to these! I love being near water in the summer, so beaches, water parks, pools, white-water rafting, those are all my favorite things/places to go. If I could pick anywhere to go, I’d want to go to the Bahamas.
I can’t wait for these books!
I love hitting the beach for a little beachcombing and camping nearby in a forested area. Collecting shells by day and campfires by night. Perfection!
For me, my favourite summer destination would either be somewhere cool, or somewhere with good airconditioning. Thanks for the chance
Melbourne for their Midsummer festival, not, but not humid, lot’s of fun things to see and do!
I will always and forever say Paris is my go to place, any season, any reason 🙂
There’s a small town near where I leave that is my perfect place: the quiet and rest I always enjoy on my summers 💜
I am a simple girl and my favorite summer destination is the beach. It the place to be to just sit and relax and to get away from the craziness called life.
I love to go anywhere. To just relax on a beach and not work would make me very happy.
I love going to the mountains. These all look great!! I can’t wait to read them! ❤
I have never traveled to a summer local, but if I did it would be Brasov, Romania. I like the mountains, and it is steeped in legend.
The black hills in SD
My favourite destination is Porto, drinking a Galao and having a paste di Nata on a terrace🤗
I have always wanted to go to Ireland. Visit the many castles and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
I love going to places were I can go swimming to clean, cold waters and then I can go hiking without being blustered by the heat… although if I can go to Kyoto ever that would be dream come true 🙂
I love camping. So somewhere where there are lots of trees. Tobermory up on the Bruce Peninsula is fantastic
Is actually like yup go on a cruise, because you get to see different places without having to travel from place to place. Maybe the Norwegian fjords though, as I’m no sun-worshiper
The mountains. I come from the Alps, but I currently live near the see and I love going back for holidays, getting lost in the woods, sit in a prairie and let the day pass by me while I read
I love going back to my home country in Central America, it’s nice to see family again and enjoy some time away from the States.
I love going to the beach in the summer. Thank you for the chance!
Anywhere I can Scuba Dive!
I just love the Greek Isles, the food, sun, sea but most of all the people are just so kind, loving and genorous with their time.
We have been welcomed into their family homes especially when they have very little. It is a real privalege to holiday around these people and with stunning scenery. Perfect holiday retreat for anyone apart from an Eskimo maybe.
I live in a high tourism area, so getting away from the constant hustle and bustle is paramount. My favorite vacation is a mountain cabin in the woods in any location as long as it’s quiet. Canaan Valley is one such spot.
Thank you for this opportunity!
I love going to the mountains during the summer.
Summer destination is any zoo I can go to. I love animals!
A cabin on a lake is an awesome summer destination!
A Cottage by the sea visit the beach when it’s warm and read when it rains.
Love the covers they look great together.
While I love the beach, my favorite summer destination is my own back porch… still get the sun & water from the pool but also easy access to everything else in my house. I just need a lounge chair & my kindle 🙂
Queensland’s Gold Coast is my favourite summer destination
My favourite summer trips have been when I’ve gone to the Australian Open in Melbourne!
We have a summer cottage in the woods by the lake. It is so serene and peaceful. Perfect getaway to recharge and relax!

I enjoy spending time with my family at the beach or pool. Would love to experience a cruise with family.
We’re an outdoorsy family so we love camping, hiking and fishing. My home away from home is Disney!
My favorite summer destination is home reading books! However in the early fall I can drag myself away to Round Top Texas Antiques Week, where an entire highway through multiple towns is turned into a giant flea market!
I’m so excited for these stories! I’m simple. Summer time is pool time!
I love to go to the beach in my hometown.
I love to go Camping in the NC Mountains. White Water Rafting, Tubing and Camp Fires.
Walking along a beach anywhere, any weather. So relaxing just walking and watching the waves.
I’ve been known to get lost, walking 12 miles on the beach, and had to get my daughter to pick me up. Two days later, I walked 15 miles in the opposite direction, and you guessed it, got lost again.
So excited for this! Any beach is my favorite! My family usually goes to the same one every year!
Beach. Always the beach. Wherever it might be. Although, preferably in the West Coast 😁
my family and I love to go to the beach…
Oh I can’t wait!!! So excited about this!! Wish I could go on a cruise and meet the love of my life there!!

Antigua Guatemala!
I love cruising the Caribbean. Cozumel, Roatan, St. Thomas etc.
The pool or beach. Unless its blazing hot and then it’s an evening outing.
This is so awesome. Love these collaboration, so many wonderful authors together. I don’t have specific place to go…well except Dodger Stadium…but other than that anywhere where I can relax and recharge. A cabin by the beach or woods is what I usually look for
I love St Augustine, FL
I like staying local in the summer. We’re an hour from Cape Cod and a few hours from New Hampshire. Perfect spots for a weekend away.
My Mom Cave on my deck next to my pool to read and relax all day!!
I’m from Michigan, so I really love being near the water. Beaches, water parks, and someday I want to visit somewhere tropical!
San Diego Comic Con.
I live near a major summer tourist mecca, so I kind of have mixed feelings about summer, but San Francisco is always nice. I daydream of Montreal, but I guess this particular summer is not the ideal time for folks like me who dislike heat!
This is awesome!!
Absolutely ANYWHERE that I can settle comfortably with my kindle, a drink, and a view for hours on end!! Beach, mountains, prairie, on the water, a coffee shop or bistro, I’m truly not picky. (:
I live in Wisconsin so my husband and I go up to Lake Superior a few times a year. We love to go rock picking. There are so many beautiful ones, plus lots of sea glass. The water is cold af but so worth it.
Can’t wait for the books to come out. They sound amazing! ❤️❤️❤️
We love visiting family in Wisconsin for camping and fishing during the summer.
The beach.
My favorite destination 24/7/365 is Rome. Second choice is a house at any beach – just need sand and the noise of the waves.
I like staycations. Roaming the countryside or going exploring little towns around Texas. It’s a mix of adventure and romance with the serenity and charm of home
I love the mountains and don’t get to go as often as I like.
Branson, Mo!!!!!! It has shows, wineries, great restaurants, Ripley’s Believe or Not, the Titanic Museum, White Water.

I love going to Disney with my family.
My beach flat near Ravenna.

I love staycations. Taking time to explore the city that I live in. Turn off the phone and don’t tell anyone where you are.
I don’t have one particular favorite, just anywhere I can take a break from work for a few days and relax with a few good books!
Hazeyview, South Africa, is my favourite holiday destination. Heat, wild animals, barbecues and lazing by the pool. Best ever.
New Orleans, any time of the year. It’s my happy place! 💜
I love to go to the water park with my husband and daughter. But the natural springs here in Florida are amazing. Going to either one makes me a happy girl.
We live in Idaho, so we love going up into the mountains. 🙂 This books sound amazing 🙂
Santa Claus, Indiana to go to Holiday World.

Beach camping is the best.
South Padre Island, TX every summer for a week of sitting on the beach reading!

spending time with family and friends in a secluded cabin, swimming and fishing

I live in Florida, and Sea World has always been my favorite quick getaway, not just for summertime, but anytime…although I love the fact that Montana summers are mild, lol!
I live in a little country village in England called Kinver. Kinver edge has a couple of Rock houses left open for visitors to see how people used to live. The countryside views are beautiful for sitting and enjoying a good book😁💓
Going up north in Minnesota is the best summer destination for me!
Love visiting Florida!
It’s more of an event than a destination but I love movies in the park.
I’m retired and living in Florida so summers don’t mean the same as when I lived in Ohio and was still working. Now we like to take a cruise in the fall and have one coming up in November.
Im a single mom and for summer vacay with my kiddos, I love to take them on new adventures. Our favorite so far was to Kauai in Hawaii! I adore my son’s and try to spend great quality time with them as much as possible!
Wow they all sounds great fun to read and the covers are gorgeous! I don’t really have a specific place but somewhere not too hot, beautiful views, probably either in the mountains or by the beach. Would like to see Ireland and Italy
Anywhere that’s not hot!
The covers are perfect. So looking forward to reading this series.
Ideally a beach all summer. Realistically family camping and river days when we can.
The Great Lakes. Fun times with family and friend and much cooler than Alabama.
Some place fun where I can relax and see the sights, preferably with my best friend as we desperately want to go on a trip together. Beach not required, but I wouldn’t say no to a pool.
My favorite summer destination is south to visit my nieces and nephew, not very exciting to some, but I only get to see them twice a year, and they will always be my babies! Also they will only be young once! So we play, go to the lake, theme parks, or just hang out at home and make ice cream! 😀 Well spent time to me!! 😀
I spent all my summers at my parent’s little cottage on the Albermarle Sound jn eastern North Carolina. I’d live there if I could.
My favourite holiday destination is the beach in Scarborough, on the north-east UK coast
Growing up it was always camping with family and friends, typically in Fossil, OR…as an adult, it’s usually my own backyard with a kiddie pool, a sprinkler, and a fire pit so I can still get my s’mores on =].
Amusement parks!
I love to go to the beach and stay at a place with a pool.
I can’t wait for these stories!
I enjoy the mountains, I loved and still enjoy to camp and hike in the northern British Columbia, Canada area and encounter the wildlife. Also the great ‘trampings’ in New Zealand – basically everywhere coastal and mountain areas. I fresh favorite closer to home, the Azores.
