Publisher Description
Summer has arrived in Eclipse Bay and things are definitely heating up between the Hartes and the Madisons. It seems that the mysterious new gallery owner, Octavia Brightwell, is thinking about having a scandalous fling with that rogue Nick Harte before she leaves town. As far as Nick is concerned, a short-term affair sounds perfect. But it isn't going to be easy.
One big obstacle is Mitchell Madison. For reasons of his own, Mitchell has taken it upon himself to play guardian to Octavia. He's made it clear that if Nick fools around with her, there will be a price to pay. And then there's Nick's young son, Carson, who has his own agenda where Octavia is concerned. He doesn't want his father messing up his plans.
Summer in Eclipse Bay is going to be eventful this year. Some long-buried secrets from the infamous Harte-Madison feud are about to surface. The past and the present are on a collision course.

"this was the 3rd in the series. I liked all 3. They flowed very well from one to the next. Each book would stand alone if needed because each character is described in each book but best starting with the first and reading through to the last."
— Donna (4 out of 5 stars)
Summer in Eclipse Bay Listener Reviews
-
" This was the conclusion to the Eclipse Bay series. I liked it a lot. It gave a nice ending to the series. "
— Stacy, 2/20/2014 -
" Jayne is an interesting writer...I fell in love with her work at first glance...I am hooked!! "
— Georgina, 2/19/2014 -
" Really should give this three and a half stars, I guess. Enjoyable, feel-good rather predictable story. Just what the doctor ordered for a day not feeling well in bed. "
— penelopewanders, 2/6/2014 -
" Not a bad series by Krentz, but not her best. 2.5 stars because it was so predictable. This was the best of the three. "
— •´|||||`•., 1/31/2014 -
" Not my favorite of the series, yet still a satisfying read. "
— C.J., 1/29/2014 -
" Snappy dialogue, electric sexual tension and subtle humor. Great for beach reading. "
— Ann, 1/22/2014 -
" Average as far as romances go. Not as smutty as many, which is good. Good story. "
— Stacy, 1/22/2014 -
" Great read by one of my favorite authors. Have actually re-read a couple of times. "
— Alice, 1/20/2014 -
" This was a decent read, but with a pretty bland story line. I never really bought the whole feud thing between the grandfathers, & I felt like it wasn't really supported well. I live in a small town, but even I found the bit about generalizing personality traits based on family name to be unbelievable for two people who spent so much time together. Those types of generalizations are more believable for the initial phase of the relationship, but once they started interacting so much, they should have moved beyond that. I saw this primarily in the Hannah Harte character. The feud between the two families wasn't given enough meat or coverage, especially since it is the primary barrier keeping the two main characters apart. Not sure if I'll read the rest of the series. If I don't, this book may end up reclassified on my 'stand alone' shelf despite being the first book in the Eclipse Bay series. "
— Okie, 1/18/2014 -
" Trashier than the last two, but I had to finish the series! "
— Lymor, 1/15/2014 -
" Fun romance, but I prefer the historical novels under Amanda Quick. "
— Lesley, 1/11/2014 -
" quick read...there was a little intrigue but not much...ready for book 2 "
— Terri, 1/10/2014 -
" Fairly standard Krentz novel, with all of the usual elements in place. Wished there had been more detail on the setting or even of the house that Rafe and Hannah both wanted--either would have helped make this less forgettable. "
— Joy, 12/19/2013 -
" I thought this was a nice little tale. I was really happy there was a mystery to the death of his ex-girlfriend. I was so happy the way the story started out and ended. Am anxious to listen to the next one. "
— Lani, 12/16/2013 -
" This is one of the good trilogies from jayne ann krentz. All 3 were great. "
— Sarah, 11/30/2013 -
" Not a bad series by Krentz, but not her best. 2.5 stars because it was so predictable. "
— •´|||||`•., 11/24/2013 -
" This is a well-written contemporary suspenseful romance by a favorite author. "
— Terri, 11/23/2013 -
" Predictable...but okay. I've never been to Oregon, so I'm getting to know about it vicariously. "
— Marilyn, 11/19/2013 -
" One of my least favorite books by her, I've remembered. I probably will not reread again. "
— Angela, 11/19/2013 -
" I enjoyed rereading this third in the Eclipse Bay trilogy. Best read with the previous two to follow all the characters and this wrap up of their troubles and reconciliations. "
— Bj, 11/17/2013 -
" Fun series. Not much in the mystery department because I figured out the "bad guy" in all three of the books almost as soon as it was clear there was a mystery involved. Still they were all fun books. "
— Peggy, 11/8/2013 -
" Yes, their grandfathers hated each other but it wasn't that big of a deal. Get over it. Have ''forbidden'' sex instead, I see that you liked having it. "
— Jana, 8/28/2013 -
" Good conclusion to the Eclipse bay trilogy "
— Judy, 8/21/2013 -
" Another entertaining yet silly summer read! "
— Stephanie, 7/16/2013 -
" A little predictable - I cannot help but choose these sorts of books but them am somewhat annoyed at them (the predictableness and the quickness/ease with which love follows). When will I learn? "
— Becky, 6/29/2013 -
" If I could do 2.5 I would -- but there were just more moments of "eh" than enjoyment, so I can't make myself round up. "
— Christine, 12/2/2012 -
" This romance has a stereotypical plot and characters, but it was so much fun to read that I didn't mind. I look forward to reading the next book in the trilogy. "
— Carla, 10/4/2012 -
" This trilogy by Jayne Ann Krentz is an entertaining quick read. Not as great as Robyn Carr's Virgin River series, but good nonetheless. "
— Nancy, 3/31/2012 -
" This book is a cute romance with a bit of a mystery. A nice escape read. "
— Carla, 11/29/2011 -

" This is like a movie; everything ends up happily ever after. It was too perfect. The story was bland. It's not a page-turner and I was very disappointed with the ending. Not recommended. 1/5 stars. "
— Sandy, 6/1/2011 -
" This is an author that I have read a lot of and have added her books to my 'keeper' book shelf. Most I have read at least twice and some even more than that. "
