Blog Tour: This Christmas | Katlyn Duncan | Will's Top 5 Perfect Gifts for Her | Giveaway

Welcome to our stop on This Christmas tour for Katlyn Duncan. This tour is hosted by Barclay Publicity.

This Christmas
This Summer # 1.5
Author: Katlyn Duncan
Reading Level: Adult
Genre: Romance
Released: November 18th 2014

This year, if Hadley wrote her dream Christmas list, it would go something like this:
1. Spend every waking – and sleeping – moment with her incredibly gorgeous boyfriend, Will.
2. Figure out what’s been bugging him lately. Yes, going away to college has been tough…but it’s time they reconnected.
3. Enjoy a sparkling Christmas in New York City, gazing at the Rockefeller tree, going ice skating, and drinking steaming mugs of cocoa in Central Park.

So, driving off to spend Christmas in a rustic cabin in the woods wasn’t exactly the plan. But when it comes to her irresistible, and at times, impossible boyfriend, nothing’s ever that simple. And as fantasies of an icy Times Square are replaced by a clumsily decorated tree, making snowmen and the warmth of a log fire, Hadley feels herself falling in love all over again.

Except does Will have something to tell her that could change Hadley’s happily-ever-after Christmas dreams into a not-so-winter wonderland after all?

Will's Top 5 Perfect Gifts for Her

Will finds comfort in working with his hands and he feels the best gifts don’t always have to be the most expensive. Inspiration can strike anywhere but it’s when he’s under pressure that his creativity really flows.

1. Her favorite treat. This could range from her favorite cookies to that one particular pastry she eyes every morning on her way to school or work. But surprising her with a thoughtful edible gift that warms her heart and tummy can surely do the trick.

2. An excursion. This could range from the Bahamas to a secluded cabin in the woods. For Will, using his step-sister’s family cabin as the place to rekindle his and Hadley’s romance is just the ticket.

3. A night out with just the two of them. Again this could range from a fancy Italian restaurant or their favorite Chinese place, but price range doesn’t matter as long as they are together, enjoying each other’s company.

4. Something hand-crafted. It’s the gift she can rattle around the box during her favorite “let’s guess the present game” and she’ll never win. It’s a feeling of victory when her eyes light up at the unexpected and from-the-heart display of affection.

5. And if all else fails, there’s always jewelry, especially pieces that really showcase one of the best features of his girl, her eyes.

This Summer

Review Source: Carina UK | Blog Tour

Before college, before responsibilities, Hadley Beauman and best friend Lily are determined to have a summer to remember. There will be all the usual dramas - ex-boyfriends who don't seem to know what 'ex' means, pesky younger brothers with unrequited crushes, but what Hadley didn't anticipate was the out-of-the-blue return of the seriously hot boy-next-door, Will Carson. The boy who broke her heart when he skipped town two years ago.

Will may have shot up a foot and filled out (oh yes), but inside he carries the weight of guilt - for leaving, for coming back... Now he's just passing through to tie up loose ends but it's clear the old chemistry still crackles between him and Hadley. Trouble is, it's built on two years of lies...

This summer might just be the best time of their lives, but is Hadley ready for everything to change - again?

I really loved this book from the beginning to the very end. It was a book that you couldn't put down because you wanted to see if this couple would ever get together and fall in love. You felt like you were in the story and trying to push them together but you can't because there is so many obstacles that they have to go around and important life situations that you can't tell anybody but really want to but don't know what the other person might think.

This Summer follows Hadley and her best friend Lily trying to make this summer awesome because they will be leaving for college soon. So they end up working at a summer camp that her father runs. Well during that time Hadley breaks up with her boyfriend but ends up seeing him again at the camp because he is working there as a lifegurard. But Hadley is so shocked when in walks a guy that is so gorgeous and then she realizes who it was. It was her hot next door neighbor that she has had a crush on for so long that ended up leaving one summer and never coming back. They both still like each other but whenever things start to heat up with these two things come between them. It's either ex boyfriends or family problems. You see these characters go through so much that you are cheering them on to get together. Sometimes you always wished you had a summer like this when you were growing up. There is so much that happens in this book but I don't want to give it away. Grab this book and read it.

The Guest Post

Hadley and Lily’s Top ‘Summer to Remember’ Must Haves

Hadley: Hey everyone. My best friend, Lily, and me are going to tell you our top must haves for this summer.

Lily: This girl is headed to college in the Fall and it’s our last summer together before “growing up”. I’ll start! My number one is boys.

Hadley: (eye roll)

Lily: What? Boys are important for a summer to remember. And now that we’re both single we can have a little fun with them.

Hadley: Are you done?

Lily: Fine. What’s your number one?

Hadley: (grins) My best friend.

Lily: Oh! And a job working with your best friend.

Hadley: Yes that too.

Lily: (pauses dramatically) And on a serious note…sunscreen.

Hadley: UV protection is important.

Lily: I was thinking more along the lines of awful tan lines.

Hadley: Okay…

Lily: Next is…parties. And oh! Older brothers who can get supplies for parties, if you know what I mean.

Hadley: Oh my God…

Lily: So we have boys, best friends, a job WITH a best friend, sunscreen, parties, brothers, what else?

Hadley: Camp!

Lily: That counts as a job with your best friend.

Hadley: Camp should be a category of its own—

Lily: Here we go…

Hadley: But without camp we wouldn’t have had the best summers of our lives. And we will be a part of making that happen for the kids.

Lily: Yeah. I’m still sticking with boys.

Hadley: You’re hopeless, but I do love you! Well that does it, everyone. Be sure to make this summer, a summer to remember. And comment below with your must haves I’d love to hear them!
