That One Summer (Summer #3)
by C.J. Duggan
Release Date: 12/17/13
Synopsis:
Loving Chris Henderson would be wrong. Diabolically disastrous. I mean, what is there about him to love? He’s moody, bossy, brooding, a control freak, and that’s on a good day … but there was one achingly obvious fact that haunted my every thought, every minute of every day …
He sure could kiss.
As the countdown to the new millennium begins, there is one thing everyone agrees on: no one wants to be in Onslow for New Year’s Eve.
So that can only mean one thing: road trip!
No longer the mousey, invisible, shy girl from years ago, Tammy Maskala is finally making up for all those lost summers. A new year with new friends, which astoundingly includes the bossy boy behind the bar, Chris Henderson.
She likes her new friends (at least most of them), so why does she secretly feel so out of place?
After chickening out on the trip, a last-minute change of heart sees Tammy racing to the Onslow Hotel, fearing she’s missed her chance for a ride. The last thing she expected to meet was a less-than-happy Onslow Boy leaning against his black panel van.
Now the countdown begins to reach the others at Point Shank before the party is over and the new year has begun. Alone in a car with only the infuriating Chris Henderson, Tammy can’t help but feel this is a disastrous start to what could have been a great adventure. But when the awkward road trip takes an unexpected turn, Tammy soon discovers that the way her traitorous heart feels about Chris is the biggest disaster of all.
Fogged up windows, moonlight swimming, bad karaoke and unearthed secrets; after this one summer nothing will ever be the same again.
He sure could kiss.

My Thoughts:
This is the first book that I've read by C.J. Duggan, and it definitely will not be the last! I really enjoyed this story about a group of friends who celebrate the summer of 1999 together. This is the third book in the Summer series, and it tells Tammy and Chris' story.
Sadly, I haven't read that many books that take place in Australia, so this book was especially nice. I loved all of the Australian slang and expressions! I also really enjoyed the descriptions of all of the cities and places that Chris and Tammy visited. It really makes me want to visit Australia someday!
Chris and Tammy's were two great characters. As of right now, I can say that they were my favorite guy and girl of group. They were both very intelligent and thoughtful, and (thankfully) didn't have too much drama. I liked that the two of them could be comfortable when there was was silence between them. It reminded me of how me and my husband are. Tammy was a really caring and loyal individual. Sometimes, she seemed was too nice, and let people make her do things she didn't really want to do. But overall she had such a good heart. I fell for Chris right from the start! I liked that he was the serious one of the group, and he just had this mysterious side to him too. It was neat to see that there was so much more to him that one would see at first glance. The boy could be so sweet!
I am really looking forward to the other books in this series. I cannot wait to read about Adam's story (Forever Summer), as he was another character that I was fond of. I found That One Summer to be very engaging and fun. I started reading it one morning, and only put it down when I had too. I definitely recommend this book to those looking for a fun and romantic, New Adult summer romance!
