A New Shade of Summer by Nicole Deese

Nicole Deese never fails to create a story that draws me in. A New Shade of Summer is a continuation of the Love in Lenox series; the third in the series. It could be read as a stand alone, but would definitely have some spoilers for book 2.

Davis is a strong and level guy, maybe even no fuss. His most recent relationship did not end the way he had hoped. He, in turn, has devoted his time and energy to his veterinary practice. Davis's son, once an amazing student, is making bad choices at school.


Callie comes breezing into town in a worn down vehicle. She intends to stay with her sister while working on a mural project in town. She is shocked to find out that her sister's perfect world isn't as perfect as she always thought. 

Through an unfortunate misunderstanding, Callie and Davis start off on the wrong foot. She braves the rift when a dog is injured and Davis is the only one in town that can help.

Throughout the story, it is Davis's patience and kindness that really got me. Offsetting his calm, is Callie, a force of nature and color. I loved watching the story unfold. They had friends on their side, I think Shep was my favorite. They also had others who were working against them. 

If you are looking for a modern romance with a clean story line and realistic characters, this is the author for you. Don't miss this opposites attract summer romance!
