Problematic Summer Romance
von Ali Hazelwood
What is wrong meets what feels right in this romance set in Italy by the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author of Deep End. Maya Killgore is twenty-three and still in the process of figuring out her life. Conor Harkness is thirty-eight, and Maya cannot stop thinking about him. It's such a cliché, it almost makes her heart implode: older man and younger woman; successful biotech guy and struggling grad student; brother's best friend and the girl he never even knew existed. As Conor loves to remind her, the power dynamic is too imbalanced. Any relationship between them would be problematic in too many ways to count, and Maya should just get over him. After all, he has made it clear that he wants her gone from his life. But not everything is as it seems - and clichés sometimes become plot twists. When Maya's brother decides to get married in Taormina, she and Conor end up stuck together in a romantic Sicilian villa for over a week. There, on the beautiful Ionian coast, between ancient ruins, delicious foods, and natural caves, Maya realizes that Conor might be hiding something from her. And as the destination wedding begins to erupt out of control, she decides that a summer fling might be just what she needs - even if it's a problematic one. It's officially Problematic Summer - and readers can't get enough: 'Ali Hazelwood's books do it for me EVERY TIME. I simply devoured every page of this...I just didn't want it to end! So many things in this just checked every box for me. The setting? GORGEOUS! The angst and tension? FINGER LICKING! The characters? I love them all, your honour...Conor and Maya? Down so bad for them I'm probably ten feet underground...I can't wait for everyone to read this!' Real Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'VIVA ITALIA!!!! I could feel Ali's love for Sicily through this book. The setting was just absolutely romantic and idyllic, perfect for two people whose orbits can't escape each other.

Rezension von Defne 🫶Super buch!
Rezension von Valerie The age gap was quite irritating- and yes it was basically the whole storyline but still just Not my cup of tea. However, I like her writing style and the characters were strongly developed. Borrowed the Book from my sister because I was bored and ran out of books on our vacation :) All in all entertaining and a quick read
Rezension von Helena Kuchen Sehr unterhaltsam ❤️😂❤️❤️🩹❤️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Rezension von Jasmin DegenhartDer Anfang hat sich meiner Meinung nach ein bisschen gezogen aber fande die Stiry an sich Mega
Rezension von ButtaNach Not in Love, was mir ja leider nicht so gefallen hat und dem Thema das nicht so ganz meins ist habe ich hier nicht so viel erwartet, wurde aber positiv überrascht. Insgesamt ist es eine eher ruhige Geschichte, die sich langsam entwickelt, es ist nichr wirklich spannend oder actionreich aber irgendwie fesselnd. Insgesamt fand ich die ganze Sache nicht so problematisch wie sie dargestellt wurde vor allem von Hark (aber diese Übertreibung durch Charactere die dann der Story nicht gerecht werden scheint Alis Ding zu sein). Nyota fand ich ehrlich gesagt mit am interessantesten, und auch die Hochzeit war ganz süß. Außerdem fand ich das Setting toll, war selbst schon in Sizilien und der Flair kam wirklich gut rüber. Hark fand ich schwierig. Er war emotional unerreichbar was ihn etwas unsympatisch machte, auch von der Art her wie er Dinge manchmal rüber bringt, fand aber gut wie bewusst er sich war, welche Unterschiede zwischen ihnen herschen. Aber dadurch, dass man nach und anch mehr von der Beziehung der Beiden erfahren hat ging es eigentlich. Richtig gut gefallen hat mir dass Maya für das was sie will eingestanden hat und eine so starke Frau war, die auf eigenen Füßen stand und das nach ihrer Vergangenheit. Leider fand ich den Antrag wieder etwas schräg. Was ist das mit der Reihe und dem ganzen eingebinde der Ex-Partner (vor allem im Antrag?) Dafür das es am anfang vor sich hinplätscherte gingen die letzten 100 Seiten verdammt schnell, da kam man mit dem plözlichen Umschwung von Hark kaum mit und es gab mir auch zu wenig Reaktionen von Freunden und Familien bezüglich der Beziehung. Nach all den Flashbacks wäre ein Blick in die Zukunft noch gut gewesen
