If Only You Knew

A Novel

By: Ellie K Wilde

Narrated by: Elizabeth Louise, John Masterson

In the highly anticipated final installment of the Oakwood Bay series—“packed with sizzling tension, heat, and sweet, swoon-worthy moments” (Peyton Corinne, USA TODAY bestselling author)—childhood best friends Parker and Summer agree to matchmake each other, to disastrous results, all while fighting the fact that they’ve been each other’s soulmate all along.

Summer Prescott and Parker Woods have been best friends since they were three years old. Now thirty, neither of them feels like they have a good handle on adulthood. While their friends are coupled up and thriving, they’re struggling through career crises and disastrous dates, and frequenting the same old bars and surf spots they’ve been going to for years—until, on a whim, Summer decides to hand over her love life to Parker. After all, who better to help find her soulmate than the person who knows her best?

But when the date Parker introduces her to goes from husband material to dead end in one publicly humiliating swoop, Summer is so devastated that she breaks up with both men. And she decides to embrace a fresh start away from home by entering a surf competition that’ll have her chasing waves around the world.

Parker soon realizes the troubling truth—he’s spent nearly thirty years by Summer’s side and has only just realized that he’s in love with her. Now he’s on a mission to win back not just her trust but her heart, before she slips away for good.

Riding the Waves

🏄‍♀️ Ready for some summer vibes linked to surfing and love? Wilde’s newest book is the one you want to pick up. I liked that there was both heart and growth in this story. Summer starts focusing on herself and Parker begins to see her differently. Their friendship, tension, and chemistry made this a really enjoyable read.

🏄‍♀️ The story is very predictable however it is too sweet and enjoyable to have the predictability bother you. When it comes to spice and swoon in this book, the levels are off the charts high! Once Parker decides he is laying it all out for Summer everything he does is the sweetest even if it is something small. I love Summer and Parker especially the history they hold and their longtime connection with one another. This makes their love story more pleasing.

🏄‍♀️ Overall, this is a great read and is perfect for the beach and ocean waves.
