Hiya Love Muffins!
I'm so super duper excited to be bringing you this Book Blitz today!
I absolutely adored C.J Duggan's debut New Adult novel, The Boys of Summer!
So much so, that I've planned a whole five days of frivolity around these kids with Book Me!'s A Week With The Boys of Summer! There'll be reviews, playlists, a guest post from that adorable author C.J Duggan - she is just the sweetest woman you'll ever meet and wacky to boot - and I was lucky enough to be able to sit down with the Onslow Boys earlier this week, so I'm bouncing outta my brain with excitement to bring you that little Character Interview!
But more on that later, let's get to the Book Blitz and discover a little more about this AH-MAH-ZING book!
THL BOYS OF SUMMER(Summer Series #1)
by C. J Duggan
Publisher: Independant
Genre: New Adult Contemporary
Out Now!
It seemed only natural to nickname them the ‘Onslow Boys’. Every time they swaggered in the front door of the Onslow Hotel after a hard week’s work, their laughter was loud and genuine as they settled onto their bar stools. I peeked through the restaurant partition, a flimsy divider between my world and theirs. I couldn’t help but smile whenever I saw them, saw him ... Toby Morrison.
Quiet seventeen-year-old Tess doesn’t relish the thought of a summertime job. She wants nothing more than to forget the past haunts of high school and have fun with her best friends before the dreaded Year Twelve begins.
To Tess, summer is when everything happens: riding bikes down to the lake, watching the fireworks at the Onslow Show and water bomb fights at the sweltering Sunday markets.
How did she let her friends talk her into working?
After first-shift disasters, rude, wealthy tourists and a taunting ex-boyfriend, Tess is convinced nothing good can come of working her summer away. However, Tess finds unlikely allies in a group of locals dubbed ‘The Onslow Boys’, who are old enough to drive cars, drink beer and not worry about curfews. Tess’s summer of working expands her world with a series of first times with new friends, forbidden love and heartbreaking chaos.
All with the one boy she has never been able to forget.
It will be a summer she will always remember.
Warning: sexual references, and occasional course language.

As the engine churned dark water into white froth behind us, I thought about what we were about to do. I was about to embark on a day on the lake with Toby Morrison. If anyone had told me last week this was how I’d be spending my summer, I would have never believed them.
“Where to?” called Toby over the hum of the motor.
“McLean’s?” posed Sean.
“Too busy,” Ellie yelled.
“How about over Horseshoe Bend? Pretty secluded there,” I suggested.
Sean smiled wickedly as he moved to sit beside Toby. “You want somewhere private, do you, Tess? What do YOU have planned for the day?”
I blushed, horrified at what he thought I was suggesting.
“I just meant …”
“You heard the lady, Tobias, drive her around the bend.”
