She’s his best friend’s little sister. He’s the biggest player of them all. They shouldn’t be together. But this summer’s just too tempting. Sixteen-year-old Emilia Moretti’s goal for the summer is simple: forget her brother’s best friend—Nick Grawsky—ever existed. It should be easy: He’s spending his summer in the Hamptons, adding girls in tiny bikinis to his list of broken hearts. Guarantee he won’t be telling them they’re like his little sisters. This summer, Emilia won’t stay awake at night thinking about him. She’ll need flawless ballet movements to have a shot at next year’s showcase, and she’s finally ready to search for her birth parents. But when Nick decides to stay in the city, Emilia’s resolve disappears in a pirouette. Maybe it’s the spin they needed to be together. As long as she doesn’t get stuck believing in happily ever after… Nick is tired of pretending to be the happy, let’s-have-fun guy. His father wants him to change his career from professional dancer to…lawyer. He needs to put all of his focus on dancing to prove to Daddy Dearest he’s good enough to make it big. And he may have a case of the bluest balls in history courtesy of Emilia. She’s off-limits: The bro code with Roberto even forbids the dirty thoughts he has about her. Besides, he’s not boyfriend material. He only has time for flings, for girls who don’t expect much, for girls he doesn’t want to kiss goodnight. He knows he should resist her, but he’s not sure he wants to… At least for this summer. It’s going to be a summer like no other.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Elodie Nowodazkij writes sizzling rom-coms with grumpy book boyfriends and the bold, funny women who win their hearts. (Think funny Hallmark movie with the door open ;-)) Sometimes, she even writes stories that scare the crap out of her (a mix of Lifetime movies and Criminal Minds). Raised in a small French village, she almost always had a book in her hands. At nineteen, she moved to the U.S., where she found out her French accent is here to stay. Now in Maryland with her husband, dog, and cat, she whips up heartwarming, hilarious, and hot romances or heart-pounding and haunting romantic suspense novels. All of them hard to put down. Ready to take the plunge? The water’s delightfully warm.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Teen Romance

A Summer Like No Other is a companion novel to One, Two, Three, and so good. Emilia and Nick were fun to get to know. Emilia just wants to forget about Nick, her brother’s best friend. Even if he makes her heart race. It will be a nice summer, free from Nick. He will be away for the summer, with the rest of her friends. Lots of time to focus on her dancing and finding her birth parents.

But Nick doesn’t go away for the summer, like he usually does. Instead he stays behind, and realizes staying away from Emilia will be harder than ever. His friendship with her brother depends on it. He’s a player, and Emilia’s brother Roberto has forbidden him from dating Emilia. Spending time with Emilia and Rob won’t be awkward, at all. Everything might work out just fine, that is until they strike a deal for the summer.

Nothing could possibly go wrong. A Summer Like No Other left me starving for more. I want the next book, Always Second Best, now. I cannot wait to read more of Emilia and Nick’s story and find out what happens next.

Okay, yep. Sign me right on up for any book Nowodazkij writes in the future. I'm not usually a novella reader, but I couldn't pass up the awesome opportunity to read this one--because I already knew the kind of quality I could expect from Elodie--and she didn't disappoint.

This novella is packed full of drama and love and sweetness and secrets. I couldn't put it down. I loved the chemistry between Nick and Emilia. I loved the way their story unfolded. I loved every twist and turn and I felt like, at times, I was living in the pages with them--rooting so hard for them to be (and stay!) together. Nick is just so...THERE for Em. And with all the things going on with their families, I loved the way they each became the other's oasis of sorts, at least for the summer.

AND I love that this wasn't Em & Nick's last story! I'm super looking forward to the follow-up novel and will be reading it as soon as I can get my greedy little hands on it.

Loved this novella! I figured the end of summer would be the perfect time to read it. There's dancing and drama, secrets and kissing... what more could you want? Loved Emilia and Nick, and their chemistry. I got completely wrapped up in their story, and I can't wait for ALWAYS SECOND BEST.

4.0 out of 5 stars Too short!
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2019
Verified Purchase
Over all the story line is very good-I liked the characters and the different perspectives. It was too short! The story was way to short, and I'll be waiting for more! One thing I isn't like, the main characters right away jumped in together, though that was the plot, I feel as if this book would be better with more... cute moments. Structure. Other wise it truly seems just like a summer fling. Any who, I enjoyed it- finished it in one sitting! Thank you to the author for writing it.

I chose this rating because it was a great novel overall !! I also loved how Em was determined to keep on dancing because it is who she is and what she uses to "Connect" with her birth mother.
