Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them. While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties, and also enjoys traveling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip. Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling down stairs) and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She's learned happily ever afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story. Melanie is represented by Flavia Viotti at Bookcase Literary Agency.

My Review
5 Stars
THE SUMMER OF US by Melanie Moreland is the First book in the Mission Cove Series. This is the story of Linc Thomas and Sunny Jenson. Sunny and Linc where childhood friends then later teenage crushes when they had a chance to come together at Summer Camp where they were both working. But then they were torn apart never to see each other again....until now.  Sunny grew up with a single mother who had to take care of her and her siblings.  So they didn't have much but what they did have was love...which was priceless.  Linc came from a wealthy family but his mother died when he was young leaving him to his abusive harsh father.  Linc's father never approved of Sunny so what relationship they were able to have needed to be secret.  Now in their present day which is about 10 years later, Linc has return to Mission Cove where the tied has turned with his father, Linc is the one now stronger with power. Sunny has grown to be stronger but still a caring person.  When they see each other for the first time again Linc starts to realize that he wants Sunny more than every.  Sunny of course isn't sure to trust him so her feelings are more uncertain at first, but the attraction is there.  This was a really great story that had the cherry on top with is epilogue.
