Kickflip Summer is a sweet romance novel from Danielle Jacks. I had never read any of this author’s work before so I was unsure what to expect. What I got was an enjoyable read with characters that I really liked and could relate to.
Kara has just finished school and is looking for a summer of fun with best friend Toby before heading off to college. What she doesn’t expect is to meet up again with Bear (Julian) who had been her niece’s skateboarding coach.
I really enjoyed reading Kara and Bear’s story. It’s obvious straight away that they both like each other but both have stuff going on in their personal lives and a relationship isn’t what either had in mind.
Kara and Bear are both great characters and a loved them both. I have to admit to not being a fan of Toby. I know he is Kara’s best friend but I didn’t like the way that he treated her at times, especially where Bear was concerned, although I expect that this is what the author had in mind.
Running through the story is a storyline about family and how important your family is. I also really enjoyed this added storyline and have to add that I loved Kara’s family. They were so supportive of her.
Overall I really enjoyed this sweet romance story.

This sweet summer YA read is an easy one to pick up and enjoy on a lazy afternoon. You will find the characters very easy to connect to and the storyline easy to follow. Even if not in the YA age bracket, readers of all ages will find this book enjoyable, fun, with just the right amount of romance. Makes me wish for another afternoon of sunshine and book reading.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book because I have never read Danielle Jacks prior but once I saw the cute and fun cover I just knew I needed to give it a go and see what story was there. This is one that will make you remember everything you love about summer, that magic that is in the air when you are a young adult is something that seems to go by the wayside to adult things as we get older but this captured the fun and adventurous time that can be. Kara and Bear were a blast to read and the way the story unfolded led the reader on until the last page where you just hope and pray for the happily ever after to come for these two. You will have to read this for yourself to find out if they get that but the adventure it takes you on is well worth the few hours you will spend with Kara and Bear. I can’t wait to see what else is available from Danielle Jacks!

Kickflip Summer is the debut novel by Danielle Jacks. It is a sweet young adult/new adult romance- with endearing characters, and a fun storyline.
Kara wants to have some fun over summer with her best friend Toby, before heading to university.
Bear is under pressure from his father to take over the family business. So, this looks like it might be his last summer of skateboarding.
A story of summertime fun, young love, friendship, family, responsibility- and how life can sometimes throw you a curveball.
I look forward to reading more from Ms. Jacks in the future!

Thank you, Danielle Jacks!

5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Kickflip Summer by Danielle Jacks. It is an amazing romance story that pulled me in from the beginning. I loved the characters of Kara and Bear. Kara is a young woman who is smart, strong, and independent. For her last summer before university, she has decided to follow her best friend Toby and work in the Blue Oaks Theme Park. Then she meets Bear. Bear is a young man whose passion is skateboarding. He is not thrilled at the idea of going home. He finds himself very attracted to Kara. Is what is happening between Kara and Bear just a summer fling or is it turning into something more? Read this book to find out. The story has romantic moments as well as funny moments that made me laugh out loud. I grew to care about what happens to Kara and Bear with each chapter that I read. I wanted them to find happiness. I also enjoyed reading about the additional characters that are introduced. I loved the character of Toby who is Kara’s best friend. They make sure to look out for one another. The author does a wonderful job of making you fall in love with the characters and making the story come alive. Don’t miss out on a wonderful romance story that you will not be able to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

I enjoyed this sweet romance story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her. This is a well developed story that has characters that really make this story pop. It is written with a ton of heart and romance. I enjoyed being pulled in right from the beginning. It is a fast paced story that I found to be engaging and kept me turning pages. This is a story about chances. Kara has one summer left before she goes off to college. She decides to make the best of it. She takes on a job where she never expected to meet Bear. Neither one expects to meet each other which makes their story even sweeter. I enjoyed watching them grow and their chemistry is off the charts. I had no issues connecting with them and they really made the story for me. I highly recommend this book.

Kara

All I want is one last summer of fun with my best friend, Toby.

Blue Oaks Theme Park seems like a perfect place to work while blowing off some steam. It’s our last summer before university and we want to make every day count. The thing I didn’t consider was being attracted to my new boss.

But it’s just one summer. One quick fling. What harm can it do?

Bear

Returning home is something I can’t avoid. My dad wants me to start getting serious about my future, while I want to spend the summer teaching kids skateboarding.

As always, he gets his own way, but when a cute brunette – literally – knocks me off my feet, I’m finding the theme park interesting in a whole new way.

A summer romance. Totally insubstantial. I can handle that. Right?

Two people brought together by chance. Both finding something they don’t know they need. A sweet romance about finding a home in the heart.
