At the End of Summer
by
June Moonbridge
today I am so excited to be bringing you my review for this fantastic read from June Moonbridge. Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to take part in the blog tour. I hope you enjoy my review.
Book Description
Joshua’s life as a rock guitarist seems like a dream come true. Sold out concerts, red carpet events and wild nights portray him as a confident young man with the world at his feet. Only few friends know the scars he carries.
When freelance photographer Caroline meets the rock band Burning Ruins at the after party, an irresistible chemistry of attraction between her and the sexy rock guitarist is clearly seen to everybody. However, after a forced conversation from Joshua’s side, Caroline's convinced the attraction is not mutual.
Waking up the next morning, Caroline has no idea what happened. She flees out of the hotel room mortified, convinced she’d become another of the band’s trophies. Determined never to meet anyone from Burning Ruins ever again, she has no clue people around her have different ideas.
In a summer that takes them from London to Wales and to the sultry heat of Rome, they’re desperately fighting their demons from the past, while trying to protect their broken hearts. Will they ever let each other mend their broken hearts or will they try to heal them alone?
My Review
Photographer Caroline is shocked when she wakes up in a bedroom that isn't hers and can hear someone singing in the bathroom. She has no idea what happened the previous night and she is shocked to find out that the voice belongs to Hale the lead singer from the Burning Ruin. Not wanting to become another one of their groupies Caroline runs away ashamed of herself.
Caroline tells her best friend Julia what happened and, as she is friends with the band she heads out to have it out with them. When she finds out what happened and that none of the band did anything wrong, it was just band member Joshua that was trying to look after Caroline.
It isn't long before sparks start to fly between Caroline and Joshua, and when Caroline is given he opportunity to head to Rome to further her photographic career its Joshua that offers to travel there with her.
What follows is a summer of fun, adventure and also heartache for both Joshua and Caroline as they travel between Rome, London and Wales and get to know each other better and maybe fall in love.
I really enjoyed reading this book and I really enjoyed the descriptive way that June described the Cities that were present in the book. The character of Caroline is at first self conscious and isn't keen to let anyone into her life or share anything about her life with anybody else. This is until she starts to share more of her time with Joshua and she starts to open up. I think Caroline is like this as she is doing her best to protect herself from what happened in her past. Joshua is also trying to keep his past well hidden and its only once he gets to know Caroline that he starts to open up too.
This book is a full of fun, love and heartbreak and I found I couldn't put it down as it kept me guessing right up to the end if it was going to be a happy ending or not.
This was the first book I have read from June Moonbridge and I look forward to seeing what comes next.

About the Author
June was born in June and she always loved the moon. Born and raised in Slovenia, she studied economics, and quickly realised she hated it.
However, later she found herself working in mainly male-dominated businesses. She can choose the best steel for your project, but don't, please don't, ask her which lipstick brand you should use.
Although her writing was constantly criticised by her teacher that didn't stop her. Under different pen names, she had stories published in magazines, and then went on to publish three books under pen name Eri Krt.
After having two children, and learning that her second child has autism, she married their father and carried on working. Work and family life left her with little free time. But the desire to write didn't die.
Always looking for something new, she challenged herself to write a novel in English and all her three novels:
All that the Heart Desires
Caught Between Two Worlds And
At the End of the Summer
are a result of that continuous challenge ...
