Horse whisperer Shane Stryker is done with passion. This time around, he’s determined to meet someone who will be content with the quiet life of a rancher’s wife. And the fiery, pint-size redhead who dazzles him at the local bar definitely does not fit the bill.
Small-town librarian Annabelle Weiss has always seen herself as more of a sweetheart than a siren, so she can’t understand why Shane keeps pushing her away. Shane has formed the totally wrong impression of her but only he can help her with a special event for the next Fool’s Gold festival. And maybe while he’s at it, she can convince him to teach her a few things about kissing on hot summer nights, too—some lessons, a girl shouldn’t learn from reading a book!

"Fool's Gold continues to be one of my favorite series. Susan Mallery writes such loveable characters that you can't help but fall in love with all of them. Summer Nights is a wonderful love story between Shane and Annabelle that teaches readers not to judge new love by the harm an old love caused. It blends friendship and romance perfectly and leaves you wanting to read the next novel, All Summer Long as soon as possible. :D"

— Aleksandra, 2/16/2014" Loved this book.. She really brought the characters to life & a great story.. "
— Michelle, 2/14/2014" I'm almost caught up on the series which is good I'm starting to get a bit burnt out. I liked the Hendrix sister stories better than the Stryker brothers. "
— Meredith, 2/13/2014" Cute, predictable and likeable read. The characters grew on me. On to the next with Charlie & Clay!. "
— Measie, 1/24/2014" Susan continues her Fool's Gold series with another captivating story. What draws me into her books are the rich relationships between all the characters. She has created a town that makes you long for a strong community. "
— Tracy, 1/5/2014" This is my first read by Mallery. I really like her style and found it a very enjoyable read. Will definitely be picking up some more of her earlier books! "
— Linda, 12/23/2013" while I really enjoyed the characters and that the author is going for "real" love, as in messy, the overwhelmingly rampant marriage and babies thing is not really my thing. still better than most romances. "
— Vicki, 11/12/2013" The story of Annabelle and Shane was a little steamier than the first of the Fool's Gold Cowboy stories, but I loved it. The animals continued to offer some fun and I loved reading about Khatar's love affair with Annabelle (Khatar is one of Shane's prize stallions and a character all his own). "
— Deborah, 9/6/2013" Fool's Gold is just a foolish place. I keep hoping they will get better, but the menagerie grows and the people only grow with pregnancy. Cute, but bordering on silly. "
— Mum, 7/26/2013" I absolutely adore Annabelle. Shane is your typical oblivious Fool's Gold male. I love horses, so centering a story around horseback riding lessons was pretty cool. Khatar is one awesome horse! "
— JazzRizz, 5/4/2013" A nice quick read for summer. "
— Hope, 2/6/2013" Holy cow, this hero was a first-class jerk. The heroine was cool - and a librarian! - but she deserved much better than the emotional dimwit she ended up with. Detailed review to come. "
— Sarah, 12/1/2012" Another favorite author and great series! "
